Personally I find FaceID far superior to TouchID - wet hands, gloves and so on used to get in my way, whereas FaceID rarely fails (apart from one pair of sunglasses). It's only now that masks are commonplace that it's become an issue.
So, for me "failing at design" is "winning at design" as far as that particular feature is concerned.
Given that, even if they had decided to change course in January, making a design change and scaling production to millions of devices was probably beyond this year.
- willis936 6y agoThe addition of FaceID isn’t the design mistake; the removal of TouchID is.
- nojvek 6y agoAbsolutely. They aren’t mutually exclusive. You can have both. Some phones have fingerprint sensor on back and face sensors on front. You can choose which way you prefer (or both). Other than Apple wanting to save cost, I don’t see why this wouldn’t have been possible.
