> If there are 5 failed attempts to Face ID, it will default back to passcode. (Federighi has confirmed that this is what happened in the demo onstage when he was asked for a passcode — it tried to read the people setting the phones up on the podium.)

Well, on the demo onstage, he did not enter the passcode after being asked for it. He just said "Let me try that again". Is it just a cover up?

He tried again then said let's switch to a backup - so a different phone?

Yeah you're right. I missed that.
