If you are that paranoid ditch your smart phone get a flip phone and call it a day. I've never heard of this happening.

Often I hear stories in the news of people who are mugged and their phones stolen. If someone's phone is stolen, what's to prevent the mugger from snatching the phone, holding the phone up to their face, and unlocking it with Face ID, then taking off and disappearing with an unlocked phone and access to all the information contained therein? If a visually impaired person loses their phone, this is not an unlikely scenario as the mugger can take the device and just wait around and follow the visually impaired person without them knowing it, then, when the time is right, whip out the phone and get it unlocked without the owner ever even knowing it happened. Might it not be a bad idea to disable unlocking with Face ID? Or am I just being New York paranoid? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
