I hate the freaking Face ID... With my iPhone 7 unlocking was second nature. Almost never had to enter the pin.
With the iPhone X I found my self, entering the pin at least 50% of the times. Usually when I'm in bed and this thing can't get a good shot of my face (because my face is smooshed into my pillow) or when I'm at work and I have the phone flat on my desk.
They can try to defend Face ID as much as they want but it's a total UX nightmare.
- Aloha 9y agoI'm having exactly the opposite with FaceID - it works brilliantly and more consistently than TouchID
- jakobegger 9y agoIt really depends, I guess. Touch ID often failed for me. Every time my hands were ever so slightly damp or sweaty, Touch ID failed. Face ID almost always works. It works while running, while cooking, when wearing gloves, and even in the bath tub. It does fail when I‘m wearing a dust mask, but it‘s probably not a good idea to bring the iPhone to the workshop anyway.
- rconti 9y agoFaceID only fails for me when laying in bed and my face is half covered by the pillow. It works brilliantly while riding my bike. Yup, sunglasses, helmet, looking down at the phone while moving 15mph, flawless. TouchID also almost always worked for me but failed when my hands were wet. My wife has endless problems with TouchID on her phone.
- malyk 9y agoFace ID works perfectly for me every time. Sunglasses, hoodie, beanie (the unibomer look, basically) and it works perfectly. The only annoyance is when it's laying flat on my desk and I want to turn on some music when it isn't currently playing, but I can just tilt it 30 degrees and it opens. The swiping gestures on X also feel really great over trying to double click the home button all the time.
