It will be interesting to see how this works in the real world once these
phones are in the hands of blind users. It's nice Apple is thinking of this,
but I thought it was neat how Face Id wouldn't unlock a phone if the person
had their eyes closed. This makes total sense because if it could be
unlocked this way anybody could pick up your phone if you are asleep or what
if you had an accident and are unconscious or what if somebody simply hit
you on the head because they want to steel your phone. They could then
unlock it quite easily by simply pointing it to your face.
Of course in the situation where you are out cold because of an accident or
because you got bonked on the head somebody could do what they want with
your hand as well and unlock using Touch Id. Nobody could pick up my hand to
put it on the Touch Id if I'm asleep without waking me up, but you could
probably pick up my wife and put her in a tub filled with cold water without
waking her up when she's asleep *smile*.
Anyhow, I would probably re-enable the attention feature first to see if it
works just for security, if it's disabled by default when Voiceover is
running and a smart iPhone thief knows this they could simply bring up SIRI,
tell SIRI to turn on Voiceover and then this security aspect would be
disabled.

Hello,
You will be able to turn off the attention option in the accessibility
options. This means you will not have to have your eyes open I believe. This
was mentioned in an applevis post.

The interesting thing is that they say you have to have your eyes not
closed. If it were just facial recognition, why would it care if your eyes
were open or closed? I know some totally blind people, myself included,
who are sometimes told or asked, why do you have your eyes closed. When
that happens to me, I honestly say I didn't realize they were closed. And
opening them or at least when I guess is opening them feels entirely not
natural. Fortunately, as the owner of a 7+, I do not feel the need to rush
out for an upgrade.

I think it will work just fine, my eyes are fake, too, but Face Id is not
about retina or any other eye scanning but facial recognition.

Interesting Apple event today. I wonder, if you have artificial eyes, and
poor muscle control, by view even of the fact that your eyes aren't real,
will the iPhone recognize that you're trying to look at it? Hopefully
they have thought of this, and there is an alternative way to unlock it
