I recently set up an old iPad mini 4 I had laying around, after using FaceID only devices for the past few years. I forgot how fast it is to unlock and get right back to where you were, without having to do the awkward hold the phone up to your face move or tilt the iPad at an angle to get the right capture.
It was so fast in comparison, I thought the device wasn't getting locked when I pressed the sleep button and had to try waking it up with another finger where it prompted for the PIN.
Face ID is nice, but I'll stand by TouchID being superior for seamless just grabbing a device and authenticating before it's made it to your face.
