The video (and even more the comments) suggests that there is something shady going on.
But how else would the phone detect that there is a face? It's the same with Siri, Amazon Echo etc constantly listening (you can't hear the trigger word without listening).
The real test if something shady is going on is monitoring the network traffic if any of these data is transmitted to an Apple server.
I suspect the 5s interval picture has to do with figuring out if anyone is looking at the phone and get a better sense of when to turn off the screen.

- i_have_an_idea 5y agowhy wouldn't it sound as good? I don't care if the phone takes a million pictures of me, as long as the data doesn't get transmitted without my explicit permission.
- Dah00n 5y agoBecause if it is on device you can't prove how or if it's used either way. You are sounding very defensive? I didn't state if they did something bad or not with the data. I only state that never being able to prove if it is used in bad ways doesn't sound as good as when Apple says "amazingly we do it all on the device" which is clearly meant as "unlike Google".
