Well yeah if you press it, but you could just touch it to unlock the phone and see your notifications
That’s not what I meant, I just meant faster unlocking before swiping up to the home screen.So you can never see your notifications?
The improvement will be an incremental update, which should be no big deal as this year is an “s” release. The “s” release is generally not a big deal. Apple generally saves the most exciting improvements for the third generation release.Don't recall seeing any rumors indicating we will see improved Face ID this year and I'm not expecting it, but if it DID show up, I'd be much, much more likely to upgrade from my 8.
Any indicators it's coming this year? I'm sure Gen 1 is fine, but we all said that about Gen 1 Touch ID and now nobody wants to deal with Gen 1 Touch ID because Gen 2 is that much better, so reasonably expecting the same performance delta for the next generation of Face ID.
Idk. Touch ID was an S release feature wasn't it?The improvement will be an incremental update, which should be no big deal as this year is an “s” release. The “s” release is generally not a big deal. Apple generally saves the most exciting improvements for the third generation release.
Nope. Theres a setting ’Rest finger to open’. Just resting it wouldnt unlock it unless you have this setting ticked.Even if you didn’t and you woke the phone by pressing the home button it would unlock
I don't think a 2nd gen FaceID is probably going to happen.
You’re probably right, and that could be a major differentiator for those who might want to upgrade from the 2017 iPhone X to the second GEN iPhone X, if the improvements are signifcant enough with the second GEN Face ID. And if there are no improvements that they don’t discuss for Face ID or are discovered later on for hands-on reviews, then I see all the more reason for first GEN iPhone X owners to keep their device assuming there is nothing major aside from that.

You're right, I completely forgot that you have to swipe up.its not like Touch ID. you dont have to swipe up to open the phone. faster Face ID will just be able to unlock faster but you still have to swipe up.
resting your finger on the touchid instantly opened the phone which was annoying to me.
They won’t allow it even with faster faceid. You’ll bypass all your notifications which most people don’t want. They might make it an option but I doubt it.If they don’t upgrade Face ID then I see no reason to purchase the 2018 X model. That’s the only thing that bugs me about the current X; it simply isn’t fast enough and is kind of clunky with having to swipe up to get to home.

They might make it so if there’s no notifications then it will jusy to the home screen
im sure they will improve face id. its going to be an "S" model, this is the kind of upgrades "S" models bring

Hope so. Haven't really heard any rumors about a key/large S update feature. Sure hope just releasing the bigger screen model isn't 'the' feature for the year.
To Me, this is the most important factor when I upgrade this year. I really don’t care about just having a larger display and bigger battery for the 6.5 iPhone X, I want to know what Apple core feature with Face ID has been improved in some form or another. If they did make improvements, I expect them to at least demonstrate or discuss what they have excuted with this new future of biometric security.
I’m actually thinking the 2017 iPhone X will be discontinued from their lineup, with the introduction of the 2018 iPhone 5.8 Being in place, with a possible lower starting price point.
I don’t think they will discontinue the X. They didn’t discontinue the 7s when the 8 cam out. They sold them for less. They didn’t discontinue the 7 when the 7s came out. Historically speaking it isn’t likely.
