Face ID requires looking at the phone, and then swiping up. The swipe is what takes the extra time. It means that your phone is not ready to use by the time you look at it.
Touch ID lets you do the touch before you look at the phone. The phone unlocks while you take it out of your pocket, so by the time you look at it, it's already unlocked.
- Bahamut 9y agoYou have to fumble about for the home button and do an extra click for Touch ID - it's not much different, except it requires less precision/friction on the part of the user for Face ID presumably. Face ID should also significantly improve the UX around all interactions that used Touch ID prior (Apple Pay, authentication for third party apps, etc.).
