Yeah I wear polarized Smiths that are pretty large it will be pretty annoying if it won't work with them but I'll deal with that if it happens.
Got a tip for us?

This may help with some of the FaceID fears

They have your license or state ID. Scan that and they have everything they need to know about you, address, SSN, date of birth etc...
And really, you are worried about the NSA? I could give one sh*t if the NSA listens in on my calls or spies on me with the camera as they are going to be so damn bored they all want to kill themselves. Grow up with this garbage.
It’s not about whether the lenses are polarized. Craig Federighi said it’s only about whether the lenses block infrared light.
She could just as easily grab your finger.

“Because Face ID is attention-based, much like voice recognition systems, this means some aspect of the technology has to always be on. Some are creeped out by the idea of facial recognition system potentially scanning everything it sees, which seems like a legitimate concern.
“The increasing usage of biometrics for consumer security will likely reignite the Apple vs. FBI debate. Some also fear that easy-to-use biometric systems, like Face ID, might wind up being used against consumers if they’re put into situations where they’re unable to act quickly enough to disable Face ID and are compelled to unlock their phone against their will.”
“Although Apple says it’s worked with Hollywood makeup and design artists to tests its systems against spoofed faces, it’s getting frighteningly easier to create facial molds and models. For example, in 2013, artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg created an art exhibit using residual DNA from leftover hair and other artifacts to 3D print the faces of strangers. Her exhibit was created to demonstrate the amount of information we tend to leave behind and how we’ll need to carefully guard it from the surveillance systems of the future. With 3D printing and DNA phenotyping becoming more common, the long-term viability of facial recognition as a security measure is at the very least questionable.”
Worse, Face ID has a single point of failure, your face. Should you lose to mathematical model that the tech relies on to a hack, you can’t exactly change your face like you can a password.
“Because so many of the concerns surrounding Face ID are speculative, it’s extremely difficult to say. While it’s likely that individuals using Face ID will make their devices more secure, in a broader sense, an argument could be made that the privacy implications of introducing this technology for society as a whole are currently unknown.”
Imagine if you are drunk or stoned. The nosy, jealous gf is ready to flash your phone to unlock it with just a gaze? Nah. Passcode it is.
Face ID fear is a hoax. Face ID will be buttery smooth. Also during shower you will be able to unlock X. I use my phones in shower and Touch ID gives me little problem to unlock it because of water.
That’s because the android trolls are not gonna diss their wonder of an Android phone, even if it can be fooled by picture of your face. Apple trolls are to busy having fun with their iPhones to bother going to Android forums and dissing.

I’m gonna try and teach Face ID my dog’s face. That gonna be a hoot. Dog paws can’t use passcode, paw pads too big for one key hits.

Apple tested Face ID even with professional mask makers to ensure that it secure even with a duplicate face. Apple claims that Face ID is secure enough where it cannot be fooled even by a replica mask of somebody's face.
Do the doll’s eyes blink, open and close? Be an interesting experiment. Doll face not much good with animojis though.
