It also depends on the model. The newer iPhone you get, the better the scanner is.

And, in case you did not know: it’s a 3D scanner, based on a technology similar to Microsoft Kinect. Presenting a 2D photo of your head won’t work. Presenting a 3D printed, but uncolored copy of your head would not work either.

Works better than Touch ID ever has for me.

The only time i am ever prompted to enter the Passcode these days is when i try to unlock my iPhone when it is on a night stand and my face is not directly in it's line of sight or when i boot up after an iOS update or phone restart.

My iPad Pro 2nd gen has Touch ID. I really wish it had Face ID instead.

Well it’s used for authentication for everything. From Unlocking the phone, unlocking Apps or buying stuff in the AppStore or if you use ApplePay.

The low light performance is incredible, because if I’m not wrong it completely works through infrared and not the camera it even works in complete darkness.

Since the iPhone 12 I think it even works with medical masks on if you use them. Even with glasses and an medical mask I can unlock in an instant.

Only thing that you might miss is unlocking without looking directly at your phone. So for example if you have your phone laying on the table and it’s not facing you, you either have to unlock via passcode or take the phone in your hands. Or if possible put your head above the phone.

the only time faceid regularly doesn’t work for me is if i have my head buried in a pillow in bed. that is the only time i wish i still had touchid.

other than that it’s pretty seamless. there are occasional failures but it’s pretty rare. low light is not a problem at all.

Face ID works excellently for me. It’s not too fussy about angles, or the fact that my face can change from full beard to clean shaven, or be anything in between. With or without glasses or sunglasses not a problem either. I prefer it to fingerprint, but I never had a problem with that apart from it being inconvenient if wearing gloves.
