    Never owned an apple device, so I might be drastically off base here.

    Is face id actually its own unit, including authentication storage?

    If I were designing the iPhone, I’d just use a camera that relays the data to the CPU, and authentication happens there. If it operates like this, a more accurate comparison is I’d let a third party reputable locksmith change my locks, but I’ll set the key pins myself after.
