    Face Recognition & iPhone X Startup

    With current iPhones>Touch ID, several different fingers, even from different people can be used. In that regard, has Apple yet released the data re how many faces may be "memorized"? Will the iPhone X still require a passcode when starting up? (I should think so, but just don’t know.)
