While you are using your iPhone it is doing this: Using an IR flash and dot projector to map your face and anything around you dozens of times per second. Captured through the IR camera of a dashcam.

940nm light can cause headaches, eye fatigue, promote cataract formation and increase skin aging. While most studies show these downsides at higher intensities, it is still unknown what prolonged low-level exposure may cause.

After seeing a video of a guy strapped to a gurney and a cop holding his phone up to his face to unlock it, I'm now suspicious of all convenience tech.

The swipe pattern to unlock is fast enough. Big fat no thanks to facial or fingerprint unlocks.

This is just how Face ID works. And that facial data it captures only lives on the Secure Enclave on that specific device. It doesn’t get uploaded to Apple’s servers. This is why you have to setup Face ID on each new device you get.

Face ID is a horrible idea and an open invitation for law enforcement to search your phone at best, it’s a high tech excuse to spy at worst.

Guess I should be thankful I wasn't datable bc of my phone choice.

If you have Face ID disabled is it still doing this?

The phone still scans for attention awareness and screen lock prevention even without Face ID. Those features must be disabled as well and that should cause the phone to no longer do an IR pulse scan.

Do Androids do the same?
