It’s like a cross between Hitchhikers Guide and the movie Brazil but way less fun

FaceID is an opsec rekting ball marketed as convenient. SAD!

I mean...it is convenient, isn't JUST marketing lol (we're definitely gonna pay the price for it in a couple years tho)

What's wrong with fingerprint unlocking? Is it just to save like 300ms by not needing to push a button?

It's because the fingerprint sensor costs money and forces them to have a thick lower bezel, whereas FaceID uses the camera that's already part of the phone.

That’s wrong. To my knowledge, there are 2 additional cameras used for facial recognition (in addition to the front camera and proximity sensor) on the new phones.

It's actually additional cameras which can process infrared light, and an emitter which casts hundreds of dots on your face for 3D mapping. It's basically a miniaturized next-gen Kinect or RealSense camera.

Also, the recognition data is local to the device and inaccessible to software, same as TouchID. Though theoretically, an app distributed outside the store could access the raw data from the camera itself and roll their own facial rec with it; there just isn't access to the print

This is why you need to put a pattern on your breathmask that represents you and then take all official photos with the mask on
