Apple says onstage Face ID fail showed the feature working correctly

LOL...yeah, it wasn't a FAILURE, it was a FEATURE.
Oh don't you know hackers can't wait to get their hands on this and figure out a way to get around
this. They say it won't work with just a picture of someone's face because it uses IR to sense the
heat of the person. So, use a cheap foam head, heat it, then stick a picture of someone on that,
which gives it the 3d look, and the warmth for the IR sensors.
What bugs me is Apple went BACKWARDS, just to make it look "stylish" by removing the button, to
increase the screen size, less bezels, but keep the base footprint size the same.
Before, you simply touched the ID sensor to turn the phone on and unlock it.
Now, you have to press a button to turn the screen on, hold it to your face, then swipe up.
That's a total of THREE actions required.
My Huawei Mate 8, you simply press your finger to the sensor, it turns on and unlocks.
And it only cost 450 dollars! But, sadly, I don't have that apple logo on the back... LOL

Actually, it's only two, which is kinda one.

You do NOT need to press a button to turn on the screen. It does so automatically.

Look at the screen (which you are already doing anyways, that's how you use smart phones last I checked).

Swipe up.

So to most people it will seem like all they have to do is swipe up on the screen.

Um, does this mean that if you left the iPhone X face up (eg. on a desk in a meeting room or on your lap on the bus), it would be continuously scanning faces?
#1 Your account would always be locked in such scenarios.
#2 Are those face scans being stored or transmitted anywhere?

I don't know when it scans faces. It may be continuous, or it may be activated by a trigger (such as picking up your phone). I'm sure it will be figured out soon.

Your phone will remain locked until it positively identifies your face. Apple is claiming better identification rates than Touch ID.

Apple is also claiming that face identification data stays on your phone and isn't being transmitted anywhere.
