Can't help thinking Face ID is something Apple had to do, not something they really wanted.
Reading fingerprint with/through the touch screen [1] sounds a better alternative if they ever get it working well enough.

- designcode 9y agoFingerprint login is a pain. Still has lots of times when it doesn’t work. Rather just not have to do anything to get into the phone !
