Reply to comment by cjc323 in Under-screen Face ID patent describes what could be a next-generation Dynamic Island. by SUPRVLLAN

Literally. When I reach for my phone in my pocket, my thumb goes to the underscreen fingerprint reader and by the time my phone is out, my phone is unlocked.

No waiting for faceid to recognize and no repositioning of my hand. Just boom, unlocked. Not that faceid is bad or anything, fingerprint reader is just more convenient imo

Careful. Reddit is filled with FaceID fanboys that will defend it to the grave. I’ve gotten downvoted to hell for criticizing it.

I just wish Apple would give us both. I routinely wear a headset and sunglasses at work and faceid refuses to work. At night/morning time, my double chin is so prominent, faceid refuses to work. But my finger would work 95% of the time

Yeah they literally have the technology to do both idk why they haven't. Even if it was just in the pro models, I feel like that could inclinate people to buying it alone.

I setup alternate appearance in the settings with all my disguises.

Would just be easy if they let us use our fingerprint. My $200 Android unlocks so much faster than my $1100 iPhone because it has a finger print scanner I can press while my phone is still in my pocket

Maybe you should do a rescan. I've never had an issue with FaveID on my 14 pro with sunglasses, headsets, hats, n95 masks.

Could be worth a shot. It struggles when I’m flying with a headset on, mic in front of my lips, and sunglasses

I also have a 14 pro but at night in bed, the faceid has trouble unlocking and most of the time I have to type in my passcode. I wish we’d get both options, at least for the pro series.

Add another FaceID scan in the dark. I've never had an issue, even when taking my 14 Pro Max off the magsafe stand at weird angles in the dark it's already unlocked before I can even notice.

Not exactly related but I've got a Huawei mate 30 Pro and it has both of them. It is so convenient to use (if you are willing to sideload Google and stuff) as it has proper face id too (unlike Samsung) and an optical fingerprint sensor.

I would love a Huawei phone honestly

I'd say go for it if you don't care about messing around with it, any of the mate xx pro will have face id and optical sensor. Mate 50 pro is amazing but it's also pretty expensive for the cost of messing around.

It's ownership. FaceID is Apple's way of doing it. You're on an Apple device. You're an Apple user. It's a whole identity. I got those vibes on the 4S when they were cracking down hard on jailbreaking and introduced stuff in hardware to make it near impossible. I jumped ship, never looked back. You want to have that kind of attitude as a company and I've got no use for you.

The only time it's inconvenient is when you're wearing gloves. But in many situations where you're wearing gloves you're also wearing things on/around your face that will make face ID fail, so same same.

FaceID was fucking horrible during COVID.

What do you do with all the extra time you save from not waiting for face id to unlock your phone?

Face ID is instant though. Plus you don’t have to do anything for it, so id say it’s more convenient.

For the fingerprint reader I just grab my phone. I don't do anything extra either. And it doesn't have to be pointed at me to unlock

Well, no. By definition it has to see your face. If it can see your face you can see it first, and at that point it isn't unlocked. By default you also have to swipe up after unlocking. That is even more work.

One common use case for me is handing it to my passenger while driving. Face id would require me to put it in my fov, which counts as distracted driving. With touchid it unlocks as I slide it out of my pocket.
