Face ID, Touch ID, No ID, PINs and Pragmatic Security

I unlock the phone while it's still in my pocket, by the time it reaches eye level, it's already unlocked. And with a few muscles memory tricks, there's even a chance I have opened the right app without even looking in the fraction of a second it took me to take the phone out of my pocket.

I've actually never seen anyone doing that. I don't think that's a valid argument against Face ID. It's still faster than a PIN code and (seems) more secure than touch ID.

You've never seen someone unlocking their phone while they're taking it out ? It's fast, you might have missed it.

as fast as Face ID probably. I know I've seen people unlocking their phone by mistake in their pockets for sure.

I do the same even with PIN. I know where the keys are and have it unlocked before I'm looking at it.
