Face ID will become an increasingly bigger risk with every store you go into starting to deploy advanced face recognition (and then those databases will be breached by hackers).
Apple should put Touch ID on the back of the iPhone and call it a day. It doesn't even have to "go back" on iPhone X, just do it for the next iPhone 9 or whatever it will be called. See if people actually prefer the fingerprint reader on the back and no-silly-notch iPhone over iPhone X.

And even with that data it’s unclear how it could be used to present a false image to a phone. The hacker pulling this off would also need physical access to your phone. From a security perspective it would be a lot easier to collect a fingerprint and use known methods to create a false fingerprint that a phone would recognize. So if you’re worried about this kind of thing, FaceID is preferable.
