How often do you have wet fingers when unlocking your phone?

IMO faceid, when it works the first time, is generally easier or feels easier to use but touchid works without me looking at the phone which in a way is actually easier and in a lot of situations faster.
It's highly insecure and relatively easy to fool. It's useless with wet fingers. It's useless with gloves. It performs poorly if at all for people with finger injuries that left scars. So how is this anyone's best idea?
Face ID is far from flawed. Using Touch ID on my work iPhone 7 seems ancient and silly. Face ID works without having to do anything.
the future is multiple forms of security. Apple will introduce a phone at some point with both methods of biometrics to be able to use multiple checks for different things. You might just use whatever single option suites you for login, but you might use both for your bank login, etc.

I work with a mask covering my face so Face ID fails for me for most of my days. Just because someone has a situation (eg wet fingers) that makes the tech not work for them doesn’t mean it’s bad as a whole.
Now Bc of my work i would much prefer Touch ID. But also Bc of the many situations where I’m not facing my phone.

That's why Apple is investing in ultrasonic fingerprint readers.
Sound waves penetrate below the fingertip surface into the subdermal layer and solves all those problems. Even if your fingers are dirty or don't have a much of a fingerprint, your finger's vascular structure still exists. The vascular structure is also far more unique than fingerprints.
Checking again on this. Can the new iPhones be unlocked via FaceID when held in landscape?
I’ve just jumped from years of Touchid to faceID on the iPhone 11 Pro - to me this thing blows touchid out of the water.
When filling out passwords on web pages I usually press the field and move down to touchid - not any more. It’s instantly used faceID and dang it’s fast!
They did say the stuff about angles but might need AI time to work stuff out?
Today it instantly unlocked me with both shades and a cap on - if that’s not impressive I don’t know what is

Hate to break it to you, but TouchID is never coming back. Time to move on, next you’ll be complaining about the headphone jack! FaceID is far superior than any silly underscreen fingerprint scanner lmao
Don't tell me. Tell Kuo and Gurman.
They have a perfect track record. But maybe you're right, but probably not. LOL.
