Although recently I have discovered that it doesn't work with face masks!
Imagine explaining this to someone in 2019: “Yeah, and we’re excited the new SE went back to Touch ID because it still works with the face masks we’re now required to wear!”

You know what else doesn't work with face masks? Human face recognition. There is a reason why robbers use masks.
Setting high standards, aren't we? :)

This is a great point.
If it’s sunglasses with a strong filter, or possibly unfortunate polarization, it may cause some issues I believe.
Bright sunlight reflecting off the glasses can cause it to struggle.

It worked for me even with Ski goggles. That was really surprising.
> Face ID is designed to work with hats, scarves, glasses, contact lenses, and many sunglasses. Furthermore, it's designed to work indoors, outdoors, and even in total darkness.
