Face ID flawless

[Jjayf]

Face ID works all the time. It works with a hood, it works with a hat, it works with glasses, without glasses, with sunglasses, with a hat a hood and glasses.. it works in bed, it works at night, it works in a chair, in a car, on the bus..

When I set it up, I did the first scan without glasses, and the second scan with glasses. Maybe that’s the difference? I’m happy with it.

I agree with you, my FaceID is great too! Barely ever failed on me. I set it up with glasses on for both rounds, but still works flawlessly without them. It learns your face over time!

It works only some times when I just woke up in bed, but I hope it is learning and will improve over time.

I was at work today and was showing my boss my new phone. We both have white goatees as we are both in our 60's. I showed him Face ID, and the phone opened right up for him. I closed the phone and he tried again, and got right in. secure you say, I think not.

I did both my original scans without any glasses on. Doesn't matter as far as I can tell, it works perfectly when I have no glasses, reading glasses, my polarized sunglasses, etc. Even worked when I was yawning, haha.

With the machine learning process, the facial recognition will become more accustomed to your face over time through memory optimization.

Flawless? Ehh I wouldn’t say all of that.


But I am enjoying the hell out of the phone. Had it for a little over 24 hours. I’m more impressed with the display/battery life

Mine is not unfortunately. I setup my face id with my bangs from my hair that goes to my eyebrows. Once I pulled my bangs back with a hair clip and tried to use face id it wouldn't work. I tried over and over. It won't work like that. It works when I wear sunglasses but for some reason my hair throws it off.

It would have worked better if the hair was pulled back / glasses off etc so it can just learn the face.

Once calibrated adding a different hair style, glasses, even a hoodie, worked.

Just happy I wouldn't have to shave a beard off first.

Try setting it up again with your hair up. Or, try first pass hair up and second pass hair down. One set up mine works in all conditions so far.

I have a tinfoil hat and it doesn't work with that.

Show me a video of this happening.

I think its awesome that you and your boss are both 60+ and still working. This is not the culture in Asia...so props to USA.

This is a joke right, who in the hell wants to be working at 60. The American system has a lot of faults an this definitely is one.

I’m curious that if you use FaceID for sometimes (a month or so) will it gonna be unlock withyou boss face again ? Since it can learn you face over time it should be more accurate right ?

I disagree on Face ID being anywhere near flawless.

It's a mixed bag for me. For the most part it works id say about 80% of the time. There are times when it just won't work, I'm not in the sun or standing in a weird place and sometimes it just won't work. But after I put my code in it works fine in the same exact place, annoying to be honest!

Maybe...but it's cool to have the option available if you do.

It's kind of iffy for me, seems to fail maybe 1 in 5 times. I've tried to re-register using different angles, but no go. Sometimes it just takes a while to recognize me, other times it flat out fails to recognize me at all and asks for a code. Even when it does work it still takes longer than touch ID.

But I do love the technology and look forward to them improving it. I thought I'd miss touch ID, I do but not as badly as I thought I would.
