>facial recognition on my iPhone allows me to secure my data from the state
You mean the police won't be able to get your data? Can't they just hold your iPhone up to your face and then get your data?

- Thorrez 6y agoCouldn't you have the same security without face unlock at all? Just keep the phone completely unsecured until you're about to be arrested, then activate the password.
- refulgentis 6y agoNot sure what you're driving at here, could you explain? To put it more simply on my end: iPhones use biometric authentication to secure your data, and the eye-scanning swarm of spider robots are from a 20 year old fictional movie.
- Thorrez 6y agoYou said face unlock provides security against "the state". But biometric authentication doesn't provide protection against the state, because the state can legally and physically force you to biometrically authenticate to your phone. Then you said you can protect against this by activating a password. But that's not biometrics, that's a password. The biometrics aren't helping, the only thing providing security against the state is the password.
