Here is the answer Federighi:
Hi Kate,
What happened on stage Craig?
The issue in the Face ID because before I used the phone, someone took it and tried to unlock. For all the time use iPhone X from Apple employees never had such problems. Can you imagine the shock I felt when it happened to me on stage? ?
Whether Face ID to work with sunglasses?
Yes, but not all. Many pass infrared radiation, which is used when the Face ID.
What if someone decided to Rob me, grab the phone, hold it in front of my face and run away?
First, if the person is not looking at the smartphone, the scanner won’t work. Second, if some time to hold the shoulder buttons, Face ID temporarily locked.
Hope this helps!
