I am pretty sure Apple has the VO stuff worked out.
But MacRumors has an interesting post about Face ID. I will paste it below
How Face ID Scans Your Face
Face ID is enabled through a TrueDepth front-facing camera on the iPhone X,
which has
My apologies. I have seen many doom and gloom responses over the past day, and
was in a rather negative interpretation space when I responded.
I have a few Android tablets. None of them have home buttons, and the
functionality of the home button is always available.

Turn VoiceOver on/off, triple press the power button. Siri is activated by
doing something with the power button as well. I believe it is long press of
power button. I am unsure how the phone will be turned off if that is the case.
It may be that Siri is activated by double press of the power bu
All the reviews I have read thus far state faceID is quicker than touchID.

There are a couple modes for FaceID. The most secure mode requires one to
actually look at the phone to unlock it. For those who cannot look at the
phone, this more secure factor can be deactivated. Then, the iPhone merely
needs to see the face to unlock. Of course, the passcode is always an opt
there is one additional issue: what happens if VO is not turned on? how are you
supposed to know that your face is on screen? I am totally blind and even with
VO turned on and the camera aimed at my face, I can never get it centered. so,
facial recognition might not be a disable thing for me.

I believe it will "work," but I am worried about the extra .75 to 1.25
of a second that may be needed every time one wants to unlock the
phone. I could be wrong, but it seems like touch id would be faster,
and it can be accessed with the phone in a lot of different
configurations and placements.

words/sentiments that weren't even expressed in the first place.

Start/stop VO will most likely be triple press of the power button.
App switcher is easy, as is home button.
I always find these doom and gloom responses which always come up to be quite
amusing.

The Samsung face recognition can be tricked with a picture of the person's
face. In fact, there are YouTube videos showing people taking selfies with one
phone and then using the selfie picture onscreen to unlock the Samsung face
recognition. That is nicely secure, don't you think?

Also without a home button I wonder how we'll start/stop VO, use the
