  • Gripping buttons on both sides of iPhone X disables Face ID, recognition works with most s...

    Okay, how 'bout this, Craig!

    I'm at the checkout, and I do the FaceID, and just as I 'm about to tap the NFC terminal, a nefarious actor



    snatches my phone, uses it to pay for his weekly groceries, and runs off!

    What if he removes my face and takes it with him! He'll have complete, unfettered access to my phone forever more, and I'll have no face!

    Jeez Craig, do you Apple people ever think these things through logically??

    Well, I don't know if you've ever used Apple Pay but (with the current Touch ID iPhones) it requires you to save a fingerprint to be able to use it, but in the iPhone X's case, a face. Assuming Face ID has the same setup process as Touch ID, it is always required to type in your passcode to get into the setting to even delete the saved face and even if this nefarious actor did know your passcode, Apple Pay won't be able to work because there is no saved face, something that has always been required (albeit a fingerprint) since the launch of Apple Pay. Then again, if someone did steal something as important as access to my cards, I would immediately deactivate it.
