“Oh no, the .3 seconds difference is going to turn my life inside out!!!” **** that’s. Fine with me. I’ll take a 1 in a million risk that a 1 in 50,000 risk.
My iPhone 6, which is what I'm upgrading from, is incredibly slow with Touch ID compared to my girlfriends 7Plus. I presume FaceID will get better over time with more optimization, but in reality there's a lot more going on with Face ID than Touch ID so I'm not surprised it's a fraction slower.
Solution to this is that if the GIF bothers you, don't purchase and/or use an iPhone X
Given how many of my acquaintances don't use any form of passcode or anything (despite my repeated nagging)... it is largely a moot point for them.
You obviously haven't spent time in the iOS beta threads with all the people whining about the .3 second home button delays....
Looks about the same to me. Pretty awesome considering it's first generation. Can't wait for Friday.
The difference looks negligible to me. It's also a first gen product being compared to a second gen product. It think with the added security and features Face ID brings, I'm fine with a milliseconds difference in speed.
Unknown if he was initially looking at the 8Plus to get his finger properly located and then looked at the X. The finger on the sensor before he turned his eyes to the X would unlock the Plus quicker. What needs to be done if that's the case is turn off attention detection on the X.
also in that video the more secure option is on..you can use face ID to open without directly looking at it and the guy said it would be quicker that way
Well now, that’s just the clincher. That irrefutable videographic evidince quite clearly proves that the iPhone X is a complete and total disaster.
Just what the hell are Apple playing at with this car crash of a phone. First they put that notch on the bloody thing as if it’s a cyclops with a black eye.
Now, now it’s quite clear that it’s going to be slower and less convenient than Touch ID, which they should never, NEVER, have tried to improve on.
I’m far too busy/important/successful/famous/self obsessed/cockwombleish to wait around while that stupid toy of a phone unlocks.
Hello, is that mr Alphabet, could you put me through to your Google department please. I’d like for you to furnish me with one of your sensible, grown-up telephonic devices. What? My bank details, why do you want them? Surely you still have them from when you scanned the email my bank sent me when I set the account up?

.... Meh, it’s a slow day and I’m out my trousers on morphine, what can I say

I think either is fine... The fact that a 1G FaceID is almost as fast as the current iteration of touch ID is kind of neat
Yeah, TouchID is faster. Is anyone actually surprised. They had since the iPhone 5s to perfect TouchID and it's on its second generation of hardware. If anyone can recall, the TouchID speed for the first few iterations of phones that had the tech in it was pretty slow. FaceID will only get better and faster over time. As it stands now, it's impressively fast when stacked against TouchID, which has been fine tuned over years. FaceID is brand new this year.
