Face id to me is an anti feature driven by the desire to eliminate a hardware component.

Particularly with the old school LG back of device sensor, I could have the device unlocked by the time it exits my pocket.

Face ID may be good for driving and Ubers, but my phone is not always pointed at my face.

I’d love if they put TouchID on the power button like on the iPads
