It's a hardware thing not IOS but Face ID is miles ahead of any Android alternative. Like it's so much better there is no comparison.
Source: made the switch to iPhone this fall, after 13 years of Androids.
I can't be the only one who hates face ID. I wouldn't mind it if Apple added a touch id somewhere :/ I love the touch id on my Samsung AND I can use my face to unlock my phone as well. I like having the choice rather than be forced to use one over the other ๐คท
I have never liked FaceID. Feels like a downgrade to me. After how many years, I still find it to be a poor user experience. Waking phone with the same button used to authenticate fingerprint is a far superior experience.
I could see FaceID making sense on a desktop. Not a great experience on a phone. Far less smooth than fingerprint readers.
It makes no sense to only have face ID or a min 6 number passcode. I borrowed my boyfriends iPhone for 2 weeks and absolutely hated face ID. I love using my phone while lying down, it was annoying having to sit up just to unlock my phone and get into some apps etc
You actually have to sit up just to get FaceID to work? That's pretty lame considering it was touted as being so convenient.
Yeah, unless it could be because my double chin is terrible when I'm not sat up ๐ but I'm pretty sure the phone can't read people's faces when it's in horizontal mode
