I just switched from a Google Pixel 5 and while I still use Apple Pay, I've gotta say that fingerprint + scan is way faster than {double tap + faceid + scan}. The friction of Apple's approach is _almost_ enough to make me pull out my card instead depending on how well FaceID is working that day for me.
- wenc 3y agoI wonder if the friction comes from holding the phone too far away when you're doing the Face ID scan. I double-tap and Face ID scan right in front of me first, then I hold it out and tap on the reader. It always works and there's hardly any delay. Fishing my credit card out of my back wallet takes 2 seconds longer. That said, nowadays I use my Apple Watch and that's even faster -- double click the side button, and tap. (No Face ID at all)
- kajecounterhack 3y agoFor me it's: 1. Long hair can sometimes get in my face, making FaceID unreliable 2. Camera angle in the "tap" position is not the angle it needs to be in for the FaceID unlock. I often double click then try to tap my phone, only to remember that I need to FaceID unlock.
- wenc 3y agoI can’t speak to 1 but for 2 the routine is auth first, tap later. Double click, hold up to face, then hold to reader. Also two things: if you’re willing to accept a less secure Face ID you can turn off attention (1). And if you’re paying for transit, you can turn on Express transit if supported on your provider — then it’s just tap, no need to auth.
