Will you need to disable Face Id?

I wear gloves during the winter. TouchID doesnt work. What's your point?
Was literally about to say the same thing. In fact I wear gloves so often in Winter that FaceID is likely more convenient then TouchID for me.
yes you are...the cops can force you to put your finger on touch id. at least you can easily disable face id with button presses or closing your eyes
If my head got lopped off, I'd probably consider disabling it.
No point, just wondering really. For you it was not a deal breaker to get an iPhone with TouchID.
Let's say you use a mask everyday for work, religion or something else. As if you were a nurse, a muslim woman, or lived in china (due to pollution). That is a big demographic right there.
And if you need to use your password instead of FaceID most of the time, then why go for the X? FaceID is the killer feature after all, right?
FaceID will adapt to any owners face regardless of any changes. (Beards, makeup, Glasses, weight loss..etc) Costumes on the other hand are a different story. The key point is that FaceID is not forced on any user by Apple.It is Apple's newest method of unlocking and they are excited, but they are in no way forcing any users to use FaceID. FaceID is there. It can be turned off and never be touched.
And your lawyer can then have all that thrown out because it was obtained without a warrant.
I suggest if you're concerned about such things, you only use the PIN code.
heh.. while everybody else was watching iPhone X fail or work properly at the keynote, i was watching c.Federighi wipe makeup off his face before continuing the demo with the backup phone..
idk.. maybe there will be a problem with cosmetics?
or maybe it will learn what she looks like with and without makeup?
What if a criminal mastermind escapes maximum security prison and uses a top secret governmental program to switch faces with me in order to gain access to my phone for his nefarious plans???
It would be sorta like that movie: The Mighty Ducks
What then? How would I perform the flying V if I can't use my phone??? HOW???

Completely False. Law Enforcement cannot force you to unlock your phone unless it's due to exigent circumstances. Furthermore, any time law enforcement wants to access your phone or the contents inside of it, they need to apply for a search warrant first. They can seize your phone upon investigation, but they cannot access it until they're granted a search warrant.
Totally a deal breaker because of one night out of an entire year
Maybe he's a bank robber .... these are important considerations.
No it's not. Its a new security measure.
The edge to edge OLED screen is the new killer feature here. I don't think anyone is buying the iPhone X for Face ID. They're buying it for the new Design, bezel less with OLED screen whilst body is smaller than the Plus models.
Uh, no.
Exactly. You can come up with at least as many cases where TouchID wasn't workable because of gloves, wet/dirty/soiled hands, etc. I remember all these concerns/arguments when TouchID was announced.
You don’t even have to close your eyes. If your eyes don’t look at the phone, it won’t unlock.
According to the keynote. We’ll find out in a few weeks.
But still, it's terrifying that a super villain with enough resources could easily steal my face. What then? And won't someone please think about the children!!!???
I mean, sure, there are a handful of really extreme situations where FaceID could be problematic, but I prefer to just focus on more realistic scenarios, like ones where a highly secretive organization of wealthy and shadowy figures are bent on obtaining access to my smart phone by illicit use of my face. It literally happens ALL the time. And yes, first world problems, totally agree, but if I have to have a high speed car chase down the wrong way of the 101 every time they see me in proximity to my phone, that's a big inconvenience (to me at least).
I blame Trump. And the media. Both really... Maybe Bush.

Most "ware" wolves (were?) will still be recognized by FaceID, even during a full moon. Let's not make light of their medical condition by assuming the most advanced feature in the iPhone of the future won't be able to overcome a little facial hair.
Again, no need to be silly

Well, if you're Jason or Michael Myers...
Worrying about someone stealing your face data is kind of silly. Unless of course you do NOT have a government issued photo ID. And you protect your face when out and about in public. For the average person however, we show off our faces to anyone and everyone on a nearly daily basis. I sometimes even post photos of my face online for the whole world to enjoy. So speaking just for myself, I'm not concerned about someone stealing my face data. The whole thought is a little silly in my opinion.
