I agree - Touch ID is far superior to Face ID.
- walterbell 2y agoIt works well on iPad Air power button. Apple should include TouchID on all Pro device power buttons.
- 9x39 2y agoWhat do you like about Touch ID? I think I'd switch platforms before going away from Face ID, it's so trivial to authenticate without even moving a muscle that I don't even think about it. I have an older iPad with touch ID, and I simply turned it off because it felt like an anachronism in the experience.
- Cheezmeister 2y agoFingerprint vs Face shines while (for instance) having a conversation and, because you have manners, want to maintain eye contact while pulling up a photo of that thing you are describing, or to make sure that's just a robocall and not your wife with an emergency. It also shines first thing in the morning where your hair and eyes are so disheveled that even Siri didn't recognize you. Your thumb is probably still the same shape.
- kstrauser 2y ago> want to maintain eye contact while pulling up a photo of that thing you are describing Unless your eyes point in markedly different directions, I'm having a hard time imagining how you'd manage that anyway.
- apple4ever 2y agoIt doesn't fail as often as Face ID - you can touch the phone on table and don't have move your head to get it right (especially on the iPad). Its more secure because it requires an active action (touching) vs passive (looking).
- rubymamis 2y ago> you can touch the phone on table and don't have move your head to get it right This one. And like you said, it's much more reliable and faster than Face ID.
- apple4ever 2y agoTotally agree. When I upgraded from an 8 to a 13, I had more failures to unlock in one month than I did for the entire lifetime of my 8.
