Yes and no. I've got the "attention detection" on which is supposed to ensure you're looking at it, and in the first, what, 12 hours of having the phone, I've had 0 problems unlocking it. One of my first tries was swiping up while riding my bicycle. I glanced down as I did so, and it was unlocked in the time it took me to take a glance down. TOTALLY seamless. Even with a bike helmet on, on a moving bike, with the phone at a totally non-optimal angle.
I've also found, with it sitting on my desk on a stack of cables I brought in to ensure I could sync and power everything during the transition (lightning to USB, lightning to usb-c, apple watch magnetic charger, you get the idea), that it would unlock just from a swipe, without even having to tilt it towards me.
After I've played with it a bit, I find you can be off by far more than you expect -- maybe 20-30 degrees from 'face to face' with the phone. And you don't have to be close.
It doesn't work in the lying-flat-on-my-desk use case, but if i pick it up and swipe up, it's unlocked. Period. I don't even have to think about how it's angled, or if i I'm looking at it, or what the angle is, or what the light is.
I'm VERY impressed. I thought the #1 thing I'd miss would be pressing the home button while it lies on my desk, but it hasn't been an issue yet. and the transition to swipe up instead of home button press took 0 minutes. I thought it would take me days or weeks.
