1. I'm not saying they should remove their 3D face unlock, it's a cool thing to have. But it's wrong that they force you to use only 3D face unlock to unlock the phone. It would have been easy for them to put a fingerprint reader on the back also, like 100s different Android phones have. This means if you for any reason (driving, cooking, whatever) if you cannot or you don't want to touch the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone you can still use face unlock. By the way Android phones have had face unlock since 2011, sure not as "reliable" as the 3D face unlock, but still it's been available in Android since 2011.
2. Many case designs have right now a hole on the back only to show off the Apple logo. The hole on the back of cases should simply be to use the fingerprint reader instead of showing the Apple logo. Or they could have formed the fingerprint reader into the shape of the Apple in the Apple logo that would have been even better in terms of engraining the Apple logo into their customers minds by having them touch the Apple logo 50 times a day when unlocking their phone.
3. Fingerprint reader is plenty secure enough, you're not going to ask 50 thousand+ people to put their finger on the back of a phone to hack into it. You're never going to randomly bump into a thief who steals your phone and happens to be 1 out of the 50 thousand that have the same fingerprint as you that can unlock your phone. That statistic is meaningless. What's much more likely to be a huge issue is for families that have identical twins, they can face unlock eachothers iphone X easily but identical twins do not have matching fingerprints so the fingerprint reader is the only way to make a phone usable in a family that has identical twins which affect many. Sure fingerprint readers can be tricked, but that's most often not an issue when it comes to securing your phone. If you're a secret agent carrying state secrets in your phone you can use other more intricate ways to secure and encrypt your phone. But for normal people the fingerprint authentication is plenty secure enough.
1. Putting both Face ID and Touch ID is a waste of space and resources, when Face ID offers superior security. And saying Android has had it since 2011 when it was utterly useless means nothing. No one claimed Apple was first. They’re just the first to do it right. As with most technologies (hello, iPod!).
2. I think I made it clear why I think the fingerprint reader on the back is a terrible place for it.
3. A higher rate of mistaken identity is more than just a random person. It’s the ability to spoof. If 1:50,000 random fingerprints can open your phone, then it’s more likely that someone can make a fake fingerprint that will open it. Scale that to 1:1,000,000 for Face ID. Plus you can’t use a fake face on face ID. Higher level of security is always good. 128 bit encryption used to be amazing. Now it’s not. And security and privacy goes way beyond secret agents. If your phone is seized by a government agency — domestic or foreign — do you want a base level encryption protecting your data? It doesn’t matter if you don’t have anything to hide, so please don’t respond with that.
