Case 1 and 2 are covered with FaceID - you have to be actively looking at the phone, drugged/eyes closed/looking away/etc. won't cut it.

> drugged eyes won't cut it.

This seems extremely inconvenient for binge drinkers* that need to Uber home or call a friend.

*or light drug users

You can always back up to your password (at least, with TouchID).

Case 1: "Look at the phone straight-ahead with your eyes or we'll beat you with the rubber-hose again"

Case 2: Hold open the eyelids with tape. Even if the eyes have rolled-back in their sockets they can be re-positioned with some manual adjustment enough to get the system to work.

Case3: Give me you password or I beat you again.

How is this different?

Isn't Case 1 an attack on every possible method?
