    Okay? I’m not saying it never works for anyone, I’m saying for a subset of users with certain conditions it does not work well. If you are a person who doesn’t wear glasses or has glasses that aren’t extremely high index, don’t have strabismus/eye alignment issues then great for you, I’m so happy that you get a phone that works I guess?

    But I’m telling you that it doesn’t work for me and there are reports of people with the same issues:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/mozq7z/my_face_id_suddenly_wont_work_with_my_glasses_on/

    https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/7bgs6g/faceid_fails_due_to_lazy_eye/ (old but the next two are the same issue from last year)

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255981605?answerId=261208009022&sortBy=rank#261208009022

    (Note the similar questions on apple boards).

    Now you’ve been told that it doesn’t work by multiple people (or do they not count because they’re not here to defend themselves). You sound like a shithead software developer who is convinced disabled people don’t exist so they don’t have to do the extra work of covering for edge cases. That is honestly probably what’s going on here, and could easily be fixed by just putting touchid in the new button to eschew faceid entirely for people that it works poorly for.

      Yeah, I figured you’d end up angrily transposing someone else onto me to attack that caricature. Seems you just want to find a reason to shit on this tech so you can prop up Android in a follow-on statement.

      If that’s the case, I really think you should make the switch.

      The mass users of iPhones have a better experience away from touchID. I think you’re forgetting how finicky it was around moisture and general wonkiness if the finger wasn’t placed in an ideal position.

      FaceID is better than it in every way.

        I have an iphone 16 as mentioned, regularly happens. Admittedly was worse on the iphone x I had before this, so they did something to improve it. Android sucks too you fuckin fanboy trash. No phone is truly unlocked anymore.

        “The mass users”. well fuck anyone who is different or disabled then. If it works for me then it doesn’t matter! And if anyone disagrees they must be a troll because apple can do no wrong.

        I still have devices with touch sensors including a 2019 macbook running arch. The touch id on there works great and is faster than face id on an iphone 6 years newer, doesn’t require a gesture, and doesn’t complain about my reflective glasses or misaligned eyes

          Holy shit. This level of anger is ridiculous. It’s funny watching you people fanboy while throwing accusations.

          Learn to use the tech and stop bitching.

              Jesus Christ. It’s crazy how you’ve fixated on me and decided I’m the person that’s been getting in your way of using tech the way it’s designed.

              You should probably get some counseling. Or an android. I hear they’re great and will definitely not allow others to hack your touchID.
