Krimbel also asked for details on what would prevent a thief from taking the iPhone X, pointing it at his face, and running off.
Absolutely nothing. In fact I would enjoy watching the thief looking and looking at the phone waiting for it to unlock.
This, I don't know why people keep missing this. If your eyes aren't open and you aren't actively giving your attention to the device, it won't unlock. Yeah, facial scans are not new for security, but Apple's take on it truly is awesome.
Whether or not it's a viable replacement for TouchID is yet to be determined, but I will absolutely be giving FaceID a chance when I get my iPhone X.
No because you have to be staring at the phone. Neither of those situations will meet that requirement.
Please stop this Internet fake news. What you are describing isn't allowed by law. One more time, the police would need probably cause that a crime had been committed and that you had committed it. They would then need to go to a judge and apply for a search warrant under oath. If a judge agreed that the evidence against you amounted to probable cause, then he or she would issue a search warrant allowing the police to search your phone. So no, a police officer can't just walk up to you on the street or a traffic stop and grab your phone and hold it to your face or against your fingers or demand your pass code. That would be illegal and unconstitutional. You, of course, can voluntarily allow anyone to search your phone.
Thanks for helping end this myth. Next, we are debunking the "cat in the microwave" myth.

To be fair, that was Jony's poop.
The type of people who care deeply about privacy, security, and freedom. The people who say "If you've got nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." are setting themselves up for a future where every single thing we do is monitored and available for public scrutiny. I don't fancy the government being up in my business 24/7. My only offense is a single speeding ticket many years ago because my narcissistic mother stole my car (paid for myself) to run errands before I left home for college orientation and I was trying my best to turn over a new leaf and start a new life for myself outside of their unhealthy influence. The future is only bright if we make it bright. If we sit on the sidelines we get what we deserve. But my children don't deserve it, so I fight for them. Nothing is guaranteed, and there are many people out there in positions of power who would take away our freedom if given the opportunity. Look no further than illegal searches at checkpoints within 100 miles of the US border to see the kind of atrocities that Americans have to suffer. I don't want my daughter to suffer vaginal exams by male officers as some of these women have had to endure. Freedom is always on the verge of being snuffed out—never forget that. It is delicate, and valuable, and therefore must be treated with respect.So many people worried about cops makes me wonder the kind of people on this forum..
The average iOS owner doesn't even understand how iCloud works. You think they will use this complicated rigmarole? Lol nope.
You and I would, sure, so the option to do so would be nice though.
Yeah... These "the sky is falling" what-ifs about FaceId remind me of when TouchId was introduced a few years ago.
Yeah, yeah, but what if, you know, some criminal were to accost you, take your iPhone, and then cut off your thumb with a knife to unlock your phone? What then Apple???
Dollars to donuts that didn't happen even once. People here get so hysterically ridiculous coming up with these insane what-ifs.
And this, dear friends, is how FUD is spread, one ignorant comment after another.
We? You mean idiots that don't realise that Apple test allot of canaries unlike other companies like Samsung that just spits out products just for the sake of being first on the market.
I'm thinking back to all the same hoopla and FUD when TouchID was released. But this is different? Nope.
You can relax. Take a breath. You are responding to internet myths. Stop and think about what you are fearful about. A thief or robber has taken your phone, which is rarely done nowadays as they have no value to most thieves and are seen as a risk (tracking, etc.), but let's stay with your scenario and this thief that has grabbed your phone, you posit that they are going to stand there in a middle of a robbery and turn it toward you and you are going to stand there and stare at it in the middle of a robbery. And then they are going to do what? What do people do now when their wallet or phone is stolen? See? Nothing to worry about, back to streaming GOT.
Thanks for the sympathy. Both incidents happened abroad when I was walking home from work at night. Took a shortcut through a park, shouldn't have done that. The second time was a bit more complicated, but lessons were learned that night as well.
And yeah, a gun would be out of the question here. My main tactic of self defence is to impersonate a homeless person, right down to the smell. Works like a charm thus far!
And lastly, you are correct. Insurance will cover the goods lost to the robber most of the time. My life, not so much.
Yea, I keep laughing at all the situations people come up with on these forums.
Unless they point a gun at you and demand you open your eyes and look at the phone.
Then there's the theft of the phone by a pick pocket. You don't know you're phone's been lifted, so when somebody says "hey you" and you look up and they're holding your phone up to your face which you look directly at, you may not even realize what's happened until they are long gone with your unlocked phone.
So yeah, it's a little easier to unlock than Touch ID which requires a finger to unlock. The idea that Federighi is even implying that you don't look at the iPhone in a potentially life-threading situation is ridiculous. Give them the phone, unlock it, and don't try any shenanigans, like disabling biometrics with some fancy finger work. Chances are a savvy thief is going to know what you're doing and that will make him very angry.
I guess you can't use touch ID either, since you likely are still wearing your welding gloves too... you need a Motorola Flip Phone, apparently...
THIS.
There are two types of thieves - the first one just wants your phone so they can erase it and sell it. The second type wants to access your data, for example those bad, bad law enforcement people that constantly go around and pressure good, law-abiding people to unlock their phones for no reason whatsoever, because apparently they've nothing better to do. Or so CNN tells me.
Apparently many, many people concerned about the second type and about encryption, security, etc. are so deluded they believe everyone wants access to their Facebook posts, drunken selfies/food photos, and access to their checking account that has $35.22 in it, so nothing but the best technology will do.
We all want to be James Bond, I guess.
I personally would prefer touch id to face id. However it seems to me that Apple really has thought this through.
Perhaps you misread my post. I understand the constitutionality of the issue as it relates to the 4th and 5th amendments for physical passcodes vs biometric authentication (see link).
I made no mention of a warrant. I was only talking about if an officer has probable cause and arrests/detains you, searches you and looks at your locked phone a couple of times, it will then require a passcode. In my eyes it is easily plausible for this to happen.
Did you even read the article or do you always just make crap up?
