    Not doubting you, but is it really that big a difference from sticking your finder on a reader for half a second?

      Yeah that's my point, it doesn't really make unlocking your phone any better. I just imagine it's easy to get accustomed to

        Interesting. The thought of facial recognition on my phone has always freaked me out, but I guess they have my fingerprint and everything else about me so what can I really say?

          another technology which would be miraculous if it wasn't being wielded by Capital.

      I've used both iPhone types. Using a finger can be finicky if your finger isn't clean or isn't in the correct orientation. Of course it's still really nice to use. Switching to Face ID just makes it even easier, especially if you have raise to wake on. It unlocks without any interaction.

      It works better and faster.

      I think the best fingerprint was the iPhone home button, where if the scanner was working good for you, the unlock/screen on would be invisible to you.

      The facescan works that way more often.

      The goal of security would be for it to be no problem for those permitted but be a walk for those who shouldn’t access.

      If it can reliably recognize a partially obscured face, and with voice commanda, might actually be really helpful during winter.
