And people who live in colder areas where there are snow and have gloves are really glad about the face id because then you dont need to take off your gloves if you need to call someone.

Gloves that work with touchscreens have been around for years.

With a fingerprint passthrough? :)
Probably meant you could enter a pass code without taking your gloves off.
Having owned quite a few pairs of these, the quality and features vary widely (including, importantly, insulation against the cold and moisture -- not to mention how well the touchscreen compatibility actually works).
Yes but they are so thin, in my country it can get really cold.

I don't think they are all thin, nor should they have to be - the touchscreen doesn't have to detect your skin, the gloves have a material that is detectable by the screen.
