Early look at the setup of face ID

Unfortunately no. FaceID can only enroll one face at a time.
This makes me wonder if it's a technical limitation (your face has more data to store than fingers) or a security feature.
Course it is.looks about as 'difficult' to set up as TouchID.
It’s quicker. Even versus one finger setup it’s quicker, and I only have one face.
Quicker than TouchID too.Course it is.
Course it is.
Uhm no.
TouchID enrollment process always left me perplexed.
I can totally see people (elders, not tech savvy, etc.) struggling with the various commands and steps.
Oh well I’ll go ahead and admit it: I too did it wrong the very first times (in terms of timing of the on and off movements of the finger).
FaceID looks definitely more accessible.
I'm sure they tested facial hair but I wonder how much facial hair lol.. I plan to set it up clean shaven and then not shave for the month of November. Let us see!
That’s the thing, it learns ur face as time goes on. I think it said every so often when you unlock it, it compare’s to what it has on file and adds the new face data to the face print. So it will add ur growing facial hair each week.
currently I and my wife have each other's finger print on our iPhone's so we can open each other's phone to access photos etc. What happens now when both of us receive our X's? Is there an alternative like a pass code for each of us to open the other's iPhone X?
you would have a pass code like you do now on your current devices but yeah you wouldn't be able to open each others phones using face ID
