There's nothing _wrong_ with touch ID. It's just that FaceID is way better. It is faster and more seamless, it can work even if you are wearing gloves.
Plus, it lets the phone not display sensitive notification details until you are the one looking at the screen(with attention detection on, the default, you have to be really looking at it), only then it will display the details(including actual messages, depending on how it's configured). This is great in many scenarios.
- rimliu 7y agoYes, all this. And also face id does not care which finger you use to slide and if any of them is sweaty or wet.
- kalleboo 7y ago> it can work even if you are wearing gloves This is a tradeoff though, as FaceID doesn't work if you're wearing sunglasses.

- mensetmanusman 7y agoTwins I know can unlock each other’s phone. Also, little kids can unlock parents phones for some reason. Would love to see internal presentations on the math behind this reason. Did they accidentally make a genetic discovery algorithm?
- lunchables 7y agoI have an iPhone X and have no problem unlocking my phone when wearing sunglasses.
- marvin 7y agoIt doesn't work when wearing a balaclava, motorcycle helmet or ski googles, which is slightly annoying, but in those cases you'll likely wear gloves anyway. Sunglasses work fine for me.
