I thought face unlock has been a security vector for the iPhone, and that even Apple is thinking of dropping it?

- krzyk 5y agoIt doesn't look like it, they still release phones exclusively with face unlock. What security issues can it have? Fingerprint sensors could be fooled with less work. And fingerprint sensors don't work always (e.g. for me they don't).
- bduerst 5y agoHmm, I thought Apple had switched to requiring pin/watch for face ID unlocks because they were not totally secure. The same could be said for fingerprint though. I think the more secure biometric unlocks require the occasional pin verification anyways.
