OR... since it wasn't specifically mentioned, maybe it was a one-shot. It gives them an "out" in case face recognition is not fully embraced by the masses.

I can see this as being a concern for individuals who do not want to have their confiscated phone unlocked against their wishes. Say for a criminal investigation where presently you would have to physically put your finger on the sensor to unlock, but with the face scanner presumably anyone with the phone could hold it up to your face (perhaps unbeknownst to you) and gain access to the phone. Although, an individual should still have the option of using a passcode, but if you are not going to use the face scan then why buy it?

I can see it being a concern for people who get mugged. As long as the victim's eyes are open, even if the victim is dead, the mugger can unlock the phone.

I.. wonder about that IR imaging concept. Not a FLIR... probably a sensor design, so near IR only. May not work in Canadian winters, eh ? I was also surprised to see a Lightning port.. I expect that will go away next.Quote

I'm assuming that the IR sensor will also be able to tell if the body is near warm-body (alive) temperatures.
