My guess is that it'll be harder to fake a face than to fake a fingerprint.
I would imagine so! Too bad Mythbusters isn't around anymore.
If it's actually more secure than a fingerprint sensor...
I'm sure it will be, but I worry it'll be at the expense of convenience. When we moved from number/pattern unlocks to fingerprints, it reduced unlock time significantly. When you consider the hundred times a day we unlock our phones, and all the different ways we do it, I'll be very interested to see if the process is more annoying.
I wonder if face recognition will actually turn out better for privacy.
For example, if you are unconscious, someone could unlock your phone by placing your finger on it, but face recognition won't work if your eyes are closed.
Aw, but that would ruin that scene in the Big Sick...
I'm still curious about that flash of light you get in low light situations. What does that look like? How annoying is that going to be to people around you? People are already insensitive about their phones and how they affect the people around them...
