Yeah it was more of a general response to some of the back and forth I’ve been watching on this and other threads. It wasn’t really directed at anyone in particular.
Just out of curiosity, how can you prove that it was the cameras on the display iMacs that led to the phone calls? And how did those cameras supposedly taking pictures of you lead to people calling your phone number? Are you claiming that they matched your picture to one they already had on file for you that was also linked to your phone number? And if someone had that level of personal information, wouldn’t they be using it to do something more than spam you? In any case, I don’t really feel like this example is applicable to what I posted about how Face ID works.
Your experience aside, my point was that using Face ID is no more or less risky than using Touch ID from an identity theft standpoint. The data for both is stored in the Secure Enclave and not acessible by any app. If you don’t want to use any biometric security features out of fear your biometric data might be compromised, that’s your business. Though, you may want to wear a mask and gloves out in public if you’re that worried since most stores these days try to collect as much biometric data on you as they can (which includes face recognition). But there is no rationale for being ok with Touch ID but afraid of Face ID. They are equivalent from a security standpoint.
