This sounds like a UI race condition and actually gives me more confidence in the iPhone (unlike the Pixel, the unlock state isn’t tied to UI elements).

Unless of course you can do this long after it locks…



The issue is that it happens after the phone has locked, not that the PIN dialog happens to briefly flash before being bypassed.


Very strange. I’ve always used Touch ID when available so I can’t say I’ve experienced the issue myself.
