First Look: Apple's bionic iPhone X with Face ID (Has small segment showing TouchID speed vs FaceID)

That first video comparing the speed of Touch ID and face id is very interesting. I wonder if you can swipe up on the X as you lift it up before the screen comes on to getting to the home screen even faster?
thanks for making a gif out of it. I did note in that video he unlocks his phone without a swipe by just looking at it. How is that possible? Is that to be enabled somewhere?
Yes, when the screen comes on you can immedialy swipe up. Face ID then will unlock the device after its successfully scanned your face.

supposedly (it is a rumor website here) there will not be a second gen face ID in upcoming year's model.

It will be improved in some way, i dont think Apple will simply use the same sensor without improvements gained from experience.
All I can say and theorize is that Touch ID under the glass would be the slowest to use of the 3.
Neither the current Touch ID button nor Face ID really need your full attention, but an area under a screen without some tactile response would require you to actually look for the area and press it.
If you do that you might as well just dump the button, like Apple did early on in iPhone X dev, and glace up at the camera.

Yes you can, as you take it out of your pocket you can swipe up, then it hits ur face and ur in...

No, he swiped up before the phone was up to his face. So you can still swipe up when it’s locked and asleep.

Another note, we don’t want it to unlock without swiping up. Then we would never see our notifications. The whole reason for the swipping up gesture.

At 0:52 seconds, is something wrong with the screen to the right of the sensors? Looks almost like dead pixels...

I think its the IR, cameras seem to pick it up. Seen it on a few videos today!!
Here comes numerous Face ID lag threads #faceidgate
Apple INTENTIONALLY slowed down Face ID etc etc.

Is it the blinking IR sensor?
Disregard, watched it. I see what you're saying but every phone is different and it could be glare or something. Just look at your phone when you get it and decide.
Exactly what is attention detection on the X? You can toggle it off, and faceID still works from what I have read.

If you dont have to look at it, how would faceID work? Does it just recognize part of your face to unlock?

Yes. It just recognizes your face and doesn’t necessarily need eye contact. By default, you need eye contact for it to work.

I guess we all knew the Touch ID will be faster, especially if the swipe up gesture is required.
Only if there is a way to disable it, or maybe future software update to give us the option to. By then we can really find out which is faster.
The plus side is you can easily unlock your phone in cold weather without having to take off your glove. I visited NYC last winter and found it very annoying, especially if you have to enter your passcode while surrounding by hundreds of people.
