> For example, the Face ID lockout: Imagine if one could just pipe an AI-generated map of your face, straight into the Face ID port, to unlock your phone using a fake sensor - or, have a fake modified sensor record your facial data for later use. It doesn't even have to be intentionally malicious. Imagine a fake Touch ID sensor, for example, which outputs the same data every time any finger touches it. This would be much easier and less expensive to implement than an actual fingerprint sensor; it'd be a promising way for a savvy counterfeiter to save money producing replacement parts. Along similar lines, some counterfeit screens for iPhones used a touchscreen controller from a much older model of iPhone than the replacement screen was made for. This worked -- more or less -- until an iOS update removed the drivers for that TSC, under the assumption that the phones receiving that update were all too new to contain that part...
