Sure, Face ID is neat, but it cannot replace a good old fashioned passcode

Apple give users the choice of using biometrics or passcode for an easy unlock, but other operations on the phone still require a passcode. Apple also communicate to their users that Touch and Face ID can both be temporarily disabled by five quick taps of the home button (or power button on the X) should they be coming up to a border checkpoint, so I'm not sure that the charge of 'deliberately confusing and misleading' sticks.
