Apple admitted that it would be an issue in there keynote. I would call that conclusive proof but please prove me wrong. And yes I admitted that it was a small percentage of the population that would be effected but again..... The point remains that this is an issue when it was not with TouchID.
Got a tip for us?

out of curiosity..
do you then think the Mashable iPhone X review was also not made honestly?
http://mashable.com/2017/10/31/apple-iphone-x-review/#baceC7_NvaqX
so everything in there is a lie?
or they gave the phone a rave review but then decided to fake this video in order to appease Apple haters?
No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. It's just obvious from 0:55-1:00 that they made an edit so that they could get the outcome they wanted.
Open their eyelids if they are passed out and you can achieve the same result with FaceID. Sure you might wake them up but you still gained access to their phone.
Come talk to me about those error rates when you are outside on a bright sunny day and natural IR is flooding the FaceID sensor.... The error rates provided by Apple will always make the newer tech look good.
...how exactly are you planning on opening someone’s eyelids without interfering with the Face ID scan?
Only one reviewer cited any issues at all with bright, direct sunlight. He later backtracked.
Let’s put it this way.
The only other option between Face ID and Touch ID is a manual passcode.
Either way you cut it, Touch or Face ID is MUCH more secure as I don’t know too many people that use more than a 4 digit code to unlock their phones on a restart.
the questions were rhetorical.
they were meant to say 'hey, go read the whole review'..
come back if you still think they're faking the video (or that these twins didn't actually unlock the same phones.)
It’s a six digit code by default. You have some proof that most are manually toggling to a four digit passcode?
Correct both methods are more secure then a passcode but to remove TouchID in favor of FaceID is not a step forwards IMO and it remains to be seen/ will be subjective if FaceID is more convenient then touchID.
Only from what I see every day as proof.
That actually spiked my curiosity. I wanna start a poll to get an idea of just people here on the boards.
I would pick the force if that were possible..... I wish....
But how about this, your with your friends and one takes your X and points it at you quickly while you are looking at them. They have now unlocked your phone when they would not have been able to with TouchID. We can create scenarios all day about when each of these authentication systems will fail.
I don't know what's the issue. Even Apple says there is a 1 in 1 million chance of this occurring. There are 7.6 billion people in this world, so if there's a 1 in 1 million chance, we all have 7600 doppelgangers.
We could...like your friend know your passcode already and opened your phone without flashing it in your face. Lol.
Same friends can ask to borrow your phone or just grab it from you unlocked. Either way, there you go. If you can’t trust your friends, you need new ones.
There’s and answer to any question you may ask. Also keep in mind, the FBI was in a stink to make Apple build a back door because they couldn’t gain access. Should tell you something.
Umm...every day as proof? You see people both restarting their phones AND using a four digit passcode to unlock them...every. single. day? You need a new hobby.
also.. just a tip..
don't go looking in youtube comments sections on Apple related videos unless you're feeling like arguing with people about Mac vs Windows or iPhone vs everybody.. etc
there are an unhealthy amount of android users watching/commenting on iPhone videos.
it's hard enough to have an Apple-centric conversation around here without someone coming in and telling how such-and-such is better.. even though it has nothing to do with the exchange that's trying to happen..
but on youtube? it's impossible.
Actually, gravity does vary over the surface of earth. Minute variations sure but it does change so that might not be the best example!
