Let's be clear here. Assuming you have capacities gloves that work with the X, then Face ID represents a far better solution in cold weather. Just raise the phone, look, swipe up and use. No fingerprint nonsense needed. Those stuck in the stone-age of having to use buttons and fingerprints to unlock phones are just in denial. Eventually they'll be forced to adopt the tech because whatever Apple do, everybody else does after first bashing it.
I was defending FaceID in the cold with my statement.
