Couldn’t it be as simple as a face recognition unlock?

There’s an option on iPhone’s FaceID to require eyes open and looking at phone to unlock, but this might have been deselected. Or it could be subverted.

Has there been a demonstrated Face ID spoof?

Would be interesting if they had tech that could fool it based on known photos.

Why would they use photos when they have a perfectly good corpse on hand?
