    #FaceID Good: Design looks surprisingly robust, already has a panic disable. Bad: Normalizes facial scanning, a tech certain to be abused.

        Cops will hold the phone to your face when they arrest you for protesting, threaten with violence. Logical conclusion of this tech.

        Here's some advice. Whenever being pulled over or dealing with police turn your phone off. This disables your features and forces code input

        Pressing the power button 5 times does the same and is quicker.

        Unless I'm mistaken I think my Samsung already has #FaceID, considered giving it a try until I realized it might just need an image to work

        Image won’t work with FaceID, that’s the difference between current face unlocking and Apple‘s FaceID.

        Hell, I disabled Siri and the fingerprint reader on my SE right after I got it.

        I don't care. I don't know what Apple is doing with people's fingerprints, and I don't trust them.

        And why do you think, that Apple isn't getting the fingerprint when you press the home button? ;-)
