iPhone X Use iPhone X without Face ID?

But you couldn't use it with wet hands. Or with gloves. Or even dirty hands. So, no, Touch ID was not better. It was different, at least.

And it’s funny you mention I can’t use Touch ID with wet or dirty hands and gloves. Hell even if the phone unlocks I still can’t use it with those.

The capacitance screen is much more tolerant of wet fingers (same with oil) than the TouchID. With Touch ID just washing you hands will keep it from working. Hoping for both on the XI (???).
