  So the cop can just use that FaceID to unlock your phone?

    No? I quint-click my power button through my pocket any time there’s even a whiff of sketch. Now biometrics are 100% off. And even if a cop was holding my phone I’d have to open my eyes, keep one shut at all times and after 2 bad scans biometrics turn off completely.

    I don’t understand your argument in the least, maybe you could read about how current biometrics work and give me your feedback once you’re caught up?

      I heard elsewhere that anything less than powering down can leave data in memory that can be used to hack your device. So while the quintuple click is better than nothing, powering down is better.

      Has that been shown? Has some MMA fighter not been able to unlock their iPhone after a fight?

      Otherwise, nope. Still gonna recognize you.
