TBF I never had any good luck with Apple's TouchID (which most people seem to love) - some of us just have hands that are incompatible with the technology. So while the many for whom it worked flawlessly lamented the loss of it in favor of FaceID, I was cheering.
- reaperducer 7y agoIt's seasonal for me. Spring and summer, TouchID works flawlessly. Once the air gets dry in the fall and my skin starts to get gross, TouchID struggles. But I guess that's to be expected.
- kalleboo 7y agoFor me it was the opposite - I think it was the humidity in the summer that messed with TouchID
- soulofmischief 7y agoI find that the slightest modicum of oil on my skin is enough to stump my sensor.
- altec3 7y agoI'm in the same boat. I never could get TouchID to work reliably or fast enough. To the point where I never even bothered to have it on. FaceID on the other hand has worked great for me, and only doesn't work if I have a motorcycle helmet or goggles on, which is understandable.
- fetus8 7y agoOk, I feel seen. I had trouble with TouchID on the 5S, upgraded to a 6S, and a 7 and continued to have trouble. It never reliably worked for me. I partially blamed it on oily hands, but my fingertips are fairly scarred as well. As soon as FaceID was revealed, I jumped ship to the X series phones and can't imagine going back. It's crazy how much more reliable FaceID is for me than TouchID ever was.
