Personal opinion: Face unlock in the age of face masks might as well not exist. Ideally, both options should be available concurrently.

Yeah, both options would be best.

But "age of facemasks" depends on country. In mine I need to wear masks only in stores, public transport.

But in those places I also need to wear gloves, so both ways of unlocking phone are unavailable to me.

And still, Apple manages to keep their unlocking mechanism.

"Keep phone unlocked until I imminently enter and exit a store" would be an interesting feature.
