FaceID works great but I miss TouchID for one unique reason : with Touch ID, the Apple Pay UX is pure genius : just take your phone in your pocket with the thumb on the button. Place it on top of the payment terminal. You are done.
With Touch ID you have to prepare the phone by unlocking it before making the payment. Which means that you have to stare at your phone while you are interacting with the merchant. It’s odd and unnatural.
Well, it’s not that bad neither really important but the initial UX was wonderful in its objectification of the phone as a convenient payment method.
(And don’t talk me about Apple Watch, payment experience is terribly unnatural as it means making weird moves with your wrist).
- cnity 4y agoI wonder if you could fingerprint hand movements. Then you wouldn't even have to strategically place your thumb.
- h3daz 4y agoI just double-click the right-hand side button in my pocket, then double-check this is the correct card - thus unlocking the phone by me looking at it. Do it everyday without issues
- what-the-grump 4y agoFaceID, sucks. It pulls attention away from whatever I am doing and forces me to fully stop. I hate it so much that I am seriously considering using a pixel 3 as a soft token/rsa fob. I have dozens of mfa codes 5 apps, requiring me to stop, look at my phone wait for it find my ugly face so I can click ‘yes it me’, in Okta, MS Authenticator, Duo, Google Authenticator, Symantec VIP, is ridiculous. I want my freaking 6s with a phone jack. /endrant
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoI’m suspecting FaceID on my phone is also unlocking itself after I’ve locked it on its way back to my pocket. I’ll take it out, pay. Lock it and pocket it. Then later hear it’s started playing music or find half typed gibberish messages or random phone numbers because it’s been activating in my pocket. Never happened on any iPhones I’ve owned till I got the 11 with FaceID
- neither_color 4y agoFaceID is also still terrible if you need/want to wear masks, even with the updates it still doesn't recognize your face half the time. Likewise, the FaceID with mask recognition may work to unlock your phone but then NOT work to open the APP whose notification you clicked on in the first place.
