Apple Says Face ID Didn't Fail Onstage During iPhone X Keynote

Still doesn't explain why some of the Apple employees demoing it for the press in the hands on area couldn't get it to work reliably. I need to see more of this device tbh.
On Mark Gurman, I remember him having a piece out a few months ago claiming this FaceID tech would even work with your phone flat on a table. I was skeptical then but apparently it doesn't.

LOL
You are the exact example of a person that Android aims to target, 'the rebel'. You think you've made the choice yourself but you haven't.
It's not like the battery exploded and the phone caught fire is it? 
Woah this doesn’t sound good. TWO ATTEMPTS!
People might look at my phone all the time I don’t want it to default to passcode after two people! That’s way too few and surely you could give almost unlimited attempts and keep the phone locked because the face recognition system is supposed to be SO ACCURATE RIGHT.
This calls the whole system into doubt more than it straight up failing.

September 30th we'll find out.

Wasn't he the same one who insinuated that ProMotion (120 HZ display) would be included on the iPhone as well? That didn't come to fruition.
He obviously panicked, thinking that there was no time to investigate what was wrong when the entire world was watching, so he preferred to use the backup device and save the presentation (or what's left of it, since the main feature of the phone failed to work as intended).
The problem is in apple's explanation. I mean, this way or that, things don't look very good.
- If the face id actually failed to recognize the registered face, then it means it has bugs / it's not completely ready.
- If the face id actually worked as intended (locked because too many faces just take a look at it) then it is designed badly.
Apple had to choose between:
a) made a mistake setting up the demo
b) Face ID fails.
Logical respons.
BTW, I do believe Face ID will work just as well as Touch ID now works. They cannot release iPhone X to the public if there is a failure in Face ID.

Why didn't he have that iPhone in his pocket so others wouldn't have access. That said I can see an issue here where the iPhone might try and open without you wanting it too, like in a crowded room, then when you go to use it you'd need the password to get into it.
Glad this had a logical cause, but this on-stage embarrassment - the very first time that FaceID had publically been shown may go down as second only to the iPhone wifi flub that caused Steve to accuse the entire audience of killing the phone with their mifi hotspots.
Hmm, if the phone wakes every time it's moved in order to fire off face ID, does this mean a lot of unnecessary activations whilst it's in your pocket? If so, has this been factored into the battery life estimates?
No. When you reboot your device it clearly states that it has been restarted.
Again, no. When you reboot you'll know that is the reason why you need to enter your passcode to enable touchid/faceid. It failed, but whatever, they'll sort it out, plenty more days/time before they actually ship X.
One thing they cannot sort is full screen photos/videos/gaming. Notch is killing the mood.
Maybe, but I'd argue that it's too late in the day for the software and hardware to be any different from what is released.
Never doubted Apple for a minute.
This tech will be awesome.
Anyone who is "concerned" does so without basis. This is like this years bend-gate, just something for the haters to pick apart. Its practically a ritual to have some straw-man "issue" each iPhone release by now. Something the Android ppl can spread like wild fire to each other as the go-to talking point.

The proof will be when real world users play with it. I'm in two minds over this phone.....either the 8+ 64GB or X 64GB.
Since all my photos and videos are stored online, I don't see any need to have masses of space, but I see why some will. Time will tell....

I'm inclined to agree with you on this.
But it sure took a long time for that keypad to pop up on Craig. That huge delay suggests to me that Face ID tried to authenticate at least once before showing the keypad. With TouchID, when you've restarted or otherwise used up your attempts, the keypad appears absolutely instantly when you tap the home button. It doesn't even try to authenticate first. Therefore, I think Face ID failed on him.
Alas, we have to take Apple's word for it - there's nobody and no way to really prove otherwise.
With regards to your last comment - remember they did release an iPhone that literally didn't work in your left hand
