Apple claimed the probability of someone (38) unlocking a phone is 1 in 1,000,000 as opposed to Touch ID at 1 in 50,000. If the user’s phone has been rebooted, has not been unlocked for 48 hours, or disabled by the user by (39) “Emergency SOS”, only the passcode can be used to unlock the device and not their face.
