Wouldn't be an issue if they'd get with the times and go with rectal recognition instead.

Looked it up. Apparently this will not be a one size fits all solution.

SNORFFLE!
The whole "FaceID" is such a doomed thing... moreover, Apple ought to know this, because they tried (and abysmally failed at) something similar about 2 decades ago, around the "colored iMac" era they attempted to do a "voice statement" as a password system -- it "worked" but only sporadically, and only when your voice (tone, timbre, etc) was almost perfectly identical to what you'd originally recorded. The least little "hoarseness/sore throat" (or indeed even slight "excess of phlegm" in the morning) led to a failure to recognize the person.
And yet ironically -- ala the film "Sneakers" (i.e. "My Voice Is My Passport. Verify Me.") -- even the replay of the crappiest recording of you making the statement in a "normal" (non-hoard, unphlegmatic) voice was sufficient to "dupe" the system. I know, because I tried that (using a little pocket-dictaphone thing) and it worked.
-- Likewise, even though they CLAIM the system is a "3D" facial recognition, it doubtless is not in fact "3D" but rather a faux "3D" based off of colors/contours as a proxy for actual "depth" perception (what is sometimes called a "2-1/2D").
And what that means is that -- in addition to NOT "working" on women without makeup (probably a VALID note and not merely funny-satire) -- the system will (potentially, and I would say even probably) be fairly EASILY/READILY "duped/subverted" by a photograph of the person presented to the camera.
Meaning all you need to do to gain access to someone's new "secure" iPhoneX is an appropriate photo-print of them (possibly even just a grayscale image, as a contour-faux-depth algo will be far more problematic if it relies on color/tint, and so it most likely REALLY works on B/W or grayscale brightness/contrast).
Translation: Massive FAIL
Also, I hereby predict that the whole Face ID feature will -- much like that "voice ID" of the colored iMac era -- softly and suddenly vanish away...
Some Snarks ARE Boojums, you see; especially in 3D.

Technically... nothing.
From the "New & Improved" PR-hype basis which is Apple's entire stock-in-trade... well they have to introduce something "new" -- and "different" (quasi-edgy, pseudo-kewl, sort of "sci-fi" like "biometrical-magical-mystery" stuff -- Hey, look over here, see... it's *3D!!!**-ish stuff. Ain't that the KEWList, EDGE-ist shit you've seen??* Bueller... Bueller... anyone???)
-- It's known as "grasping at straws" -- IOW Apple is getting desperate, because the competition is gradually chomping away at its legs.

Other features? Like you mean eliminating the headphone jack or the home button? (Which ought to make it cheaper, but in the bizzarro-world of Tim Cuck's "Apple" is something you have to pay EXTRA for, LOL... apparently because, well that's what STEVE would do, right?)
