He was for FaceId in the abstract, but finds it doesn't work well in the concrete. But you can trust him, because he loves Apple kit. Additional anecdata note:

He was for FaceId in the abstract, but finds it doesn't work well in the concrete. But you can trust him, because he loves Apple kit. Additional anecdata note: I was against FaceId in the abstract, but find it works incredibly well in the concrete. My early skepticism has disappeared completely. I mean, I'm not saying he doesn't have issues with sunglasses and pool water reflection, but even trying to demonstrate the issue in a video it seemed to work a lot more often than he expected. I mean, he seemed to be surprised when it worked with "sunnies" and a hat repeatedly. I dunno. I've definitely found FaceID to be much, much useful than TouchID was. I suspect that will be true for most people. P.S. I know this is a video demonstrating the issue, but I wonder how much of his issue is caused by thinking of unlocking as a completely separate step. I just pretend my phone has no lock, and tap and swipe as needed.
