I'd love to see face recognition, Touch ID, and/or a voice ID on a Siri Remote for the Apple TV so that the UI can adjust to specific user settings. So far, this is only done in a rudimentary way without any intelligence behind the action (i.e.: manual election of user). I'm also hoping the HomePod will offer users with a voice ID. None of these are meant to be hardened security measures, but rather convenience measures for quickly getting to your preferred content, last save point within a video, and even the general UI look-and-feel, like larger system text or auto-on CC for family member with poorer eyesight or hard of hearing, respectively.
If I can change Siri to sound like HAL and it says "Hello, Steve. You're looking well today." when I unlock it then count me in!
As for security, perhaps there could be a protocol, like putting your PIN number in backwards if you are being forced to access an ATM. How about winking the right eye quickly three times, or twitching the nose (à la "Bewtiched") quickly three times, and the phone is automatically disabled and a distress message sent.
When Sumdung copy it they could tie it to their Galaxy 7 battery tech and it could explode as well :-)
