Wouldn't Face ID allow a stolen phone to be easily unlocked? Just put the stolen phone in a different container (with a hole for the camera/sensors) and point it at the victim.

My daughter likes to "steal" my phone to play games on it. With touch ID, she can't. She wouldn't have a problem if the phone has Face ID.




They said during the announcement that you have to be looking at the phone for it to unlock.


Then you put in a container with something small written on it ;)


What about just printing out a photo and placing it in front of the camera? Does it have some way of understanding depth?


Yes. Please bother to even read the linked article before commenting.
