Agreed. If you could make it so every single tap was scanned, you could make the phone so secure, yet so simple to use.

The phone could constantly monitor both Face ID and full-screen Touch ID at the same time, and if it detects anything funky going down it can panic and lock. Would close down attacks where someone grabs your phone off you while it's unlocked and quickly disables security.

But then people you hand your phone to wouldn’t be able to use it
