Face ID vs Touch ID

[Jimmy James]

Good thread. Consolidates the issue in one place and there has been more meaningful discussion in here than elsewhere.

I think Face ID would work great for me. I'm also a Touch ID holdout in the meantime. We'll truly find out soon enough and I suspect it will be better than the negativity in this forum suggests.

I wish they would also do location based or based on being connected to an Apple Watch similar to Samsung’s offerings.

Trolling..? There are clear and conflicting reports that say they tried or that they were always all in on faceid. Now reports suggest they are years ahead of android due to faceid. Regardless of why, this is clearly their direction now. They may add back in the future because eventually you will likely use multiple technologies to verify identity.

somewhere i read that faceid was the priority and the alternate was touchid under the display.

My Glock will serve me far better in that situation than TouchID.

my glock and i agree!

My point exactly.

My point exactly.

i would be happy with faceid as you dont have to worry about keeping the touchid sensor clean. the one on my 6s plus is always getting dirty.

It will be very interesting to read from those that get the iPhone X, and face ID. Those that did not get it, and got the iPhone 8 or 8+ will learn a great deal from you for the next years offering.
