    Yep. The photo thing is my use case and the one where the lock screen fails to work with FaceID. But there a various use cases and this things carry the same data as a laptop. Losing a Nokia 5110 was bad. Losing an iPhone as “average” user is worse. Losing an iPhone while unlocked is even less unfortunate - you probably need to reset every account, inform contacts and so on. Imagine the other side. You dropped or lost your phone and nobody will let you make a simple call because this devices are so fragile and important. Question? Is it possible to initiate a call and then lock the phone? Then a handover should be save?
