iPhone 12 Pro Max Face ID Failing Issue
I’m not 100% certain that this occurred right after 14.3 release but it is happening frequently enough now to be noticeable. Intermittently waking and unlocking my 12 Pro Max is sluggish with Face ID just hanging and sometimes failing altogether resulting in the password field popping up. Again... -

Revised 14.2 for iPhone 12's (Face ID unlocking WITH face mask on? - Bug??)
I updated the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the new 14.2 build last night. Install was fine, no problems from what I could see. Was at the store about 1 hour ago, face mask on, sunglasses on, winter hat on.

iPhone 12 Pro Face ID suddenly unlocking iPhone 12 Pro even with mask
Hi everyone! I am wearing the mask in the attached picture, and today, my iPhone 12 Pro started unlocking even with it on! I have not done any Face ID registration with my mask on. I wonder if this is because my mask does not cover my chin? Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been... -

iPhone Face ID stops working
iPhone X, iOS 13.6. A short while ago Face ID stopped working. Attempts to set Face ID up again result in the message "Face ID Is Not Available. Try setting up Face ID later." The camera appears to work just fine. I've gone through a couple of iOS updates and the problem persists. Apple customer...- Yigal Arens

Other Do you miss the home button?
I have an iPhone 11 waiting for pickup but I'm really on the fence about getting rid of my iPhone 7. I love the idea of a better camera and all the latest tech... but lately it seems that Apple is trying to drive the train forward while adding "features" that people aren't hungry for.

Require Attention for Face ID: Two Independent Settings?
I was looking through Settings > General > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention and noticed that “Require Attention for Face ID” was enabled, even though I have the same setting disabled in Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Do these settings operate independent of each other? Is there any... -
Sticker to Cover Front Facing Face ID Camera due to Privacy Concerns?
i have attached a photograph of these little adhesive stickers that are for sale for iPhone 8 and older iPhones that cover the front facing camera. I am wondering if any kind of sticker is available for sale for the iPhoneX, iPhone XS/Max and iPhone XR. I don’t plan on using the Face ID...- HappyDude20

iPhone XS Max App Store not recognizing my face?
Live my XSM and Face ID works lightning fast on every single app EXCEPT when I download apps from the App Store. It fails to recognize my face around 50 percent of the time and only accepts my face when I move it around. Anyone else has this issue?- Fanboi4life

iPhone iOS 12.1.1 problems
I just upgraded to iOS iOS 12.1.1 and lo and behold Face ID stopped functioning in the same way. What I mean is this: When I got my iPhone Xs ‘brand new’ (3 weeks ago) I could use Face ID while wearing a hat and sunglasses. This is WITH the Require Attention setting enabled.

iPhone X Face ID fixed?
a bit of background: I got an iPhone X in December last year, and it had a bug where after an interval of between perhaps a couple of hours up to a day or two, Face ID would stop working. Turning the phone off and on again would make it work again until at random it would stop. I had figured... -
The future of the mid-market iPad.
I have an idea for a mid-market, $500-600 MSRP 9.7 inch iPad with the shrunken bezels, Face ID, and Pencil 2 compatibility. Currently we have the Pro line, the Pencil 1 supporting iPad, and the high-storage Mini 4 on life support. I propose replacing the Mini with this proposed model under the...- NOT..BLUE..ENOUGH!

iPhone X Is it me, or does Face ID suck? [MERGED]
So I have to be honest... I finally broke down and got the iPhone X... I'm coming from a 5s... So it was kind of overdue for me to get a new phone... While I think the new iPhone X is cool... I have to admit ID is pretty horrible compared to the touch ID. It's a step backwards. There were so... -

iPhone X FaceID and eye safety
FaceID is like having the camera’s flash flashing in your eyes every 5 seconds. See the youtube video below. Notice how although I have the iPhone brightness at lowest level to accommodate for the dark environment, the "flood illuminator" lights up in full intensity, blasting the retina with IR... -
Face ID & home screen
Is it possible to set up the iPhone so that as soon as the Face ID is unlocked, it will take you straight to the Home screen (with icons)? Currently my phone remains in the lock screen (despite the lock pad is unlocked) and I have to swap up to get to the Home screen. Thanks in advance. -
FaceID - create a second ID in iOS12
Here's a new trick in iOS 12 that you may know about but I didn't, so I'm sharing. The most annoying aspect of iPhone X for me is that it doesn't recognise me without glasses. I set up the ID with glasses because it's even more annoying not to be recognised *with* glasses. I need to punch in...- macgabe

iPad Pro with FaceID
iOS 12 for iPad with its new gestures really have me wanting a new iPad with no home button and FaceID. I love the new home gesture but can't get over having to place my finger on the slow touchID button on my iPad Air 2. Is anyone else excited for a bezel-less iPad Pro?! -
