We’ll see, there were reports of loosening up for manufacturing reasons and that may have been jettisoned. Apple msy have be less than candid.

Apple is seldom completely candid on security details. But in this case they did not jettison anything in the FaceID. What was claimed about "loosening up" was going for fewer dots in the infrared projector and sensor. That they did not do.

What is done is a sensor that requires the user to actually LOOK at the phone. I've tried to unlock my iPhone X without looking at it and it simply will not do it. I've tried full face with my eyes looking elsewhere, eyes closed, eyes down, etc. and it refuses to unlock until I actually look at the screen. Then, and only then will it unlock. That's one of the reasons I really doubt Bkav's claims for the mask; it has no eyes to look at the screen. . . add that to the fact that the padlock icon NEVER animates the bail in their demo when it should!
