"Face ID confirms attention by detecting the direction of your gaze"
So to the argument that police can force you to open your iPhone if secured with TouchID, is this perhaps more secure? If you refrain from looking at your phone?

Follow you until you make a phone call, or do something that requires you to unlock your phone. Then multiple people descend on you and grab you and your phone.
However you can disable TouchID and FaceID both by pressing the power button five times in quick succession, after which it will require your passcode.
> After initiating power off/Emergency SOS by pressing and holding either volume button and the side button simultaneously for 2 seconds.
This seems effective "on paper, but not in practice." Even if you're innocent, it is one of the most nerve-racking experiences to go through.
In the heat of the moment, what if you used an old 5s method to deactivate TouchID instead of whatever method works for the X?
I would prefer it to be a double-tap on the power button, or at the very absolute worse, a triple tap. Two buttons simultaneously five times? Impossible to do under any sort of external pressure/duress.
Power button 5x on any other phone.
You press either one of the volume buttons on one side of the phone while also pressing the sleep/wake button on the opposite side.

If history is a guide, this will be a new normal that will carry through to future hardware as well.
Unfortunately, (myself included), we are so conditioned to look at your phone when it is out in our face that you would have to actively train against this "reflex".
