Still, such BS over-the-top technology, IMO. What is the practical advantage of this?
You can press the side button and either volume button five (?) times quickly and that turns off facial recognition.

You can also close your eyes or look away and facial recognition will not work (by design).

Is facial recognition better than fingerprint? I guess we'll see how well it works. Clearly the bar is high. But I do have some issues with TouchID not working when my fingers are even slightly wet or if I'm wearing gloves (which is not uncommon as a cyclist in Portland) and I find it a touch (ha) slow at times.

Anyway, not an issue for me at the moment, as I don't plan to spend $1K for a new phone.
