I'm not really an apple user, but the bit where they mentioned "The facelock feature fails 1 in 1,000,000 tries" and then failed on first attempt is probably something none of us will forget.
That was pretty funny, but I think the 1 in 1,000,000 failure rate mention was about security, not execution, so a false negative in this situation probably helps the point. @tbodt
is still betting against the 1 in 1,000,000 in his comment though 🙃
It may be true that 1 in 1,000,000 people can unlock your phone, but what about carefully constructed adversarial examples? If you do research on breaking machine learning, see if you can get the lab to pay for an iPhone X to experiment on.
Also, 1 in 1,000,000 means there's on the order of 10,000 people out there who can unlock your phone.
I don't think that's what they meant. There is a 1 in 1'000'000 chance that somebody else could unlock your phone with their face. It still will fail much more often on your own face, though ;)

No one can escape demo-failures. Not even Apple.
