Cops/ criminals just take your phone and hold it in front of your (live or dead) face and it’s unlocked? The Apple iPhone FaceID requires a living face and an actual intentional look to unlock it. . . it won’t work on a dead body, or someone who won’t look at the iPhone. Won’t work with a photo, statue or 3D image either.

Ok, so the cops or criminals twist your arm while they hold it up to your face....

(can Face ID controlled iPhones be emergency locked liked the iPhone 6 can now, where fingerprint ID is locked out if you press the power key 5 times (and dials 911 unless you cancel it... ))?
To: Swordmaker
Cool. Thanks. Once my 6 is no longer supported, I’ll get an 8 and turn the 6 into an iPod.

Even more so. They have only five tries to match a face before it requires using a passcode. It has the same protections of the TouchID and while TouchID is only 1 in 50,000 secure against false positives, FaceID is 1 in 1 million. Why would you think it would not be?
You can disable the FaceID unlocking by pressing and holding either volume button and the side button simultaneously for 2 seconds, or longer to turn off the device. It then requires you to use your passcode to unlock the iPhone X. I strongly suggest you use a six or seven character complex passcode (not just numbers).
