      No, you can’t, because that isn’t a good analogy. Those two situations are not at all the same, but I’ll humor you.

      The analogy you’re making is like saying only the company who makes doors is allowed to change the lock on your door, and they’re allowed to just stop offering the lock-changing service whenever they want. They also conveniently put a mechanism in so that whenever a third-party locksmith comes, your door falls apart. Your only option is to buy a new door, doorknob, frame, and hinge because your lock is worn out.

      That’s a bad comparison because I wouldn’t let a random Internet stranger fix my phone either, but I would allow an actual locksmith to change my locks.

      If you swap the faceid, you still need to unlock the phone with your passcode to re-enroll faceid.

      I guess that’d be more like you changing the outside doorknob.

      No, but Android world allows more environmental friendly tech reusability and the freedom to employ any locksmith’s locks, instead of using only one dictator’s certified lock. While I would not want to compromise secure face unlock camera, I sure as hell want to to be able to employ any maker’s screen, battery, speaker, back cover and so on. The rotten fruit company disallows this environmental sustainability.

      If not for Europe’s market size, Apple would not have implemented USB-C either, despite having USB-C on all their other devices.
