> "(Quoting Stratechery) TouchID made it far easier to have effective security for the vast majority of situations, and FaceID makes it invisible.

> "(Quoting Tom's Guide) I’ve been using Face ID on the iPhone X for more than 24 hours, and I don’t need a stopwatch to tell you that it unlocks my phone slower than when I was using Touch ID on my older iPhone 7 Plus". This is not a “workaround”. This is how you’re supposed to unlock iPhone X. Starting with a tap of the side button is not how you’re supposed to do it — you’re creating a two-step process where you only need one. [...] The best way to use Face ID is to pretend it isn’t even there, and just swipe up from the home indicator." - https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/11/01/face-id-extra-s...
