So does 1 in 50,000 impress you better? The point was and is that face ID is 20 times better than Touch ID at preventing erroneous unlock by random person.
Apple - TouchID = 1 in 50,000 fingerprints
Apple - FaceID = 1 in 1,000,000 faces
Seems to me that it would be much more challenging to replicate (much less find) someones fingerprint than face.
But I guess with thermal-indicators, FaceID *should* be pretty secure.

Of course it will. Name me a product with 100% perfect execution 100% of the time.
Oh my god, my phone didn't open right away, poor me, how will I survive.
Give me a break.....jeez.
Wait till EMP pulse hits and you holding a shiny piece of inert glass and metal in your hand. Will make a great door stop. Now you can complain.

i wonder how well it works with twins. they mentioned them, but they were not very clear about it.
Why? Are you identical twin? Or you just like looking for hairs in your jello.
Probably won't work well with identical twins. The word "identical" sort of gives it away. Why they said they hope you trust your identical twin. Course you could still always use a passcode.....dah.

No one claimed they share your fingerprint. They share enough data points between fingerprints that they can unlock your phone. Hate to break it to you, but Touch ID does not look at every swirl and loop and match them like FBI does.
Face ID uses more data points, 30,000 dots I believe was stated. Which means that there still is a chance sufficient number of data points match and would unlock phone. About one in a million.
Obviously not all 30,000 data points need to match, as allowances need to be made for glasses, facial hair, hats, scarfs, etc as was also pointed out.
Lies and mumbo jumbo by Apple. Unless they went ahead and tested 1 mil people I don't believe it, I don't believe the Touch ID STATS neither.

That might be the best new thing since these phones are getting boring. Samsung is getting ready for the next gen flip phone.

Lucky for them, life will go on even with your disbelief. I am sure they didn't ask one million people to test FaceID, but they can extrapolate, based on the underlying tech, how similar two people can be to set it off.
Also why would anyone want a flip phone? The thickness is the annoying part in your pocket, not the height. I would prefer a taller slab that is thin, then a shorter one that is flipped closed and thicker.
My carrier provides em for free.

Nah, Samsung will wait till Apple bring back flip phone. Then they will be all over it making copy.
My razor was real thin. Still remember the good old days. Star Treky flip phones. And minutes charged for calls. Those were the days my friend.
I could have sworn they said they did test over over million people. I'd watch it again, but don't have two more hours to waste.

Yes, it was, but what was the battery capacity? Did it have a multitouch display?
I got over 4 hours of talk time a few times while on the phone for 4 hours. Long distance relationship is a pain in the butt.

Battery capacity? As I recall, as many spare batteries as I could jam in my pockets. Then I got the super hemongo size battery. Course razor wasn't thin anymore. More like Quasimodo with huge hump.Yes, it was, but what was the battery capacity? Did it have a multitouch display?

Yes I was able to touch the display multiple times. Course had to wipe fingerprints off with a cloth.Yes, it was, but what was the battery capacity? Did it have a multitouch display?

You convinced me, gonna change to seven digits.

Even Twins can have minor facial discrepancies that may not be distinguishable to the eye, but Those tests will certainly be interesting once the iPhone X is launched.
Can see all kinds of fights breaking out. IPhone X only opens for the pretty twin.
i'm just a bit surprised, because i fully expected them to show a demo with twins. and when he talked about the evil twin i was like "oh here we go!"
i remember a video from microsoft, where they showed that windows hello can even tell twins apart
