Sorry if I wasn't clear -- it's because I don't have to do anything.
The fingerprint sensor requires me to put my finger on it.
FaceID just works without me doing anything. I don't even realize I have to authenticate, and then have to do something in response -- it just does it.
- godelski 1y agoIf the fingerprint reader is in the right place it feels like you aren't doing anything. Just like with FaceID where you looking at your phone becomes second nature so does your hand placement when pulling your phone out of your pocket. If you haven't had a phone like this before it's hard to explain. But I can tell you from personal experience that it is less effort than FaceID, which is my current daily driver
- crazygringo 1y agoThere is no such "right place". As I already explained, it's totally different if you're pulling it out of your pocket vs. picking it up from a table. Vs. holding it. I've had devices with fingerprint sensors on the back and on the edge. My finger is never naturally "just there". Even pulling it out of my pocket, where it comes the closest. Most importantly, my finger does not sit on the fingerprint sensor the entire time I'm using the phone, the way my face is nearly always visible to it when authentication is necessary.
