„Other Apps“ in Face ID settings
What does the setting in Face ID > other Apps mean? Do these apps get access to something? Or is it just authentication? Why should you not want to allow FaceID for an app?- Skyrunner1

Face ID - Skip the Lock Screen
Some of us fly by the notification screen very often. I very much want Apple to implement THE OPTION, I stress the option of allowing a similar scenario to Touch ID's "rest to wake." Wake > Look > Home Screen. A completely hands free path to the home screen seems awesome. -

Face ID Passcode Entry Lag
I don't know how many of you are experiencing this issue but when FACE ID fails to identify you can swipe up and it shows "Face ID" and then there is a transition lag to the "Enter Passcode" screen. However, I noticed that due to this animation lag I sometimes swipe up twice when the "Face ID"...- powerbuddy99

iPhone X control center swipe from the top, will that annoy you?
It's a lot of extra work to swipe down from the top of the screen currently on the iPhone 6 and above, and even more annoying if using a 6 or 7 Plus. Using the iPhone X this will be manditory to access control center, this seems as unnecessary as removing the home button just to have a "cool... -
