    iPhone iOS 11.1.1 seems to have made Face ID slower when authenticating to apps?

    Anyone with an iPhone X seem to have noticed face ID authentication on apps seems slower tan before and also less accurate where you have to enter the passcode more? In my experience, I feel it worked much better before the update even though there was that "i" bug.

    Resolved Seeing infrared from FaceID in the dark

    Go somewhere truly dark, put a black wallpaper, brightness to lowest setting: am I the only one seeing the FaceID infrared blinking when turning on the lock screen ?! Tilt your phone so that FaceID does not see you or it will stop too fast

    FACE ID set up does not work on ios 11.1

    Iphone X Face ID Problems

    Having trouble getting the camera to recognize my face, it keeps asking me to move my iphone up and down. It never gets past the part where you put you face in the frame. Any suggestions?

    Require Attention for FaceID: on or off?

    Why leave Require Attention on -- if it makes it slightly more difficult for faceid to register. What is the real benefit of having it on? I don't see anyone forcing me to do anything with my phone or sneaking up on me while my eyes are shut and opening my phone -- so is there a reason to...

    My Face Unlocks My Brothers X

    My brother collected his white 256GB iPhone X this morning and first things first - it's beautiful! Definitely a fresh design and the screen really is excellent. He's spent most of the day playing with the portrait modes which are a game-changer for him and his business. Now, FaceID. For the...

    This video has over 450k views and is misleading viewers about FaceID

    Upon first look, it's a regular video. But, whenever the camera switches from the guys on the couch to their hands on the phone, note that the skin color sometimes changes and the hand holding the phone sometimes switches, rendering the video fake clickbait. HOWEVER, it's going viral and the...

    Face ID vs Touch ID

    So lets have this discussion. I want to see true points where Touch ID would be better than Face ID and vice versa. We all know Face ID hasn't been used by any of us yet so we can only take Apple's word for it to work as advertised. (Looking at those screaming how terrible Face ID is when they...

    FaceID with apps that use TouchID

    Does anyone know how FaceID works with apps that currently use TouchID for authentication? Will it "just work"? Or will developers have to add the functionality in which case I'll have to go back to manually entering my password until they get around to it?

    FaceID Multiple Users

    I read the security features for FaceID and the biggest issue I see for me is how it handles "changes to your face." It says if you change your face (shave thick beard off), FaceID will require a pin and then it will update your FaceID imprint. I often allow my family and friends to use my pin...

    Taking Photos: TouchID vs FaceID

    Like most of you, I hardly ever use my phone to take actual voice calls but rather use it as my main camera for pictures and video. Now there's been lots of talk of sensors and OIS, but it just dawned on me on the actually execution of these new iPhones in the wild and in every day situations...

    FaceID w/ helmets, etc?

    Apologies if this was commented on in others threads. If I missed it, would appreciate a link to that thread. I ride a motorcycle (full-face helmet), I snowboard (goggles / face mask), I have a friend who owns a body shop and paints cars with a mask on, I have a friend who works in a hospital...

    Craig Federighi FaceID non-fail

    During the introduction yesterday, there has been a lot on the "FaceID Fail", but when I saw it again, here is what I think happened. TouchID needs to have your passcode when you first log in to enable it It appears that during this demo, the phone was first turned on, and needed the passcode...

    FaceID vs TouchID

    Rumors of the iPhone Pro removing TouchID and relying on FaceID instead have me concerned. It took me a while to trust TouchID to the minimum level I do now. And I have bigger doubts in regards to FaceID. Most of the critics I pay attention to seem to be focused on how fast FaceID will be and...
