Hey, would a PHOTOGRAPH unlock the iPhone?...............
When the iPhone X was introduced last year, it was demonstrated that a child who happened to look like his mom could unlock her phone. Hopefully the technology is improving.

Yes, and I think Apple continually improves the algorithm and processing to avoid this.
But two people with nearly identical facial features can potentially spoof the system.
It does get better over time as Apple updates the algorithm.
