I think faking is the wrong word here, but it seems entirely possible that the feature was demonstrated using ideal conditions, etc. Consider that we still haven't seen the Google Photo object removal feature demoed last year.

Every company showcases ideal conditions during product demos. Literally every iPhone interaction during a WWDC has been totally scripted. I don't know why people would assume a company would do anything other than show their product in the best possible light.

  Although for a product like this, having it work in less than ideal conditions is showcasing their product in the best possible light. I'd agree with you if they were doing a live demo.

  Not 'literally every' one - ""I'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please." [1] https://www.theverge.com/2013/3/4/4063272/meet-starbucks-barista-that-took-steve-jobs-4000-latte-order-iphone https://www.theverge.com/2013/3/4/4063272/meet-starbucks-bar...

  Actually it seems like the iPhone demos are pretty natural. The last one Craig had an issue with unlocking using faceid so he had to switch to a backup. Seems pretty authentic to me.

  Not every company announces a scripted (read: fake) conversation with something to the effect of "this is a real conversation".
