I've been using the iPhone X for two weeks, and Face ID is a problem
Hollis Johnson
The iPhone X has a beautiful design, great OLED display, fast performance, and the best ecosystem out of any smartphone brand.
But I can't get used to Face ID.
Face ID uses Apple's TrueDepth camera system to accurately scan your face and unlock your phone.
Technologically, it's far more advanced - and supposedly more secure - than the Touch ID fingerprint sensors used in the iPhone 5s all the way to the iPhone 8.
Practically, however, Face ID is more limited than Touch ID in my experience, and it feels like a regression.
I've never had to unlock an iPhone with my PIN code as often as I have with the iPhone X, despite Apple's fancy Face ID feature. As a result, it's been a pretty frustrating experience, and I can't wait to switch my SIM card back to my iPhone 6s Plus or the office Pixel 2 XL review unit, which I've been hoarding because it's such a good phone.
Check out why I just can't get used to Face ID on the iPhone X:
