So this has been true for everyone that I’ve asked to try but next morning, try and focus on how close you’re holding your phone when Face ID doesn’t work. Because it’s most likely that it’s just too close to your face (because you wear glasses and prob check your phone before putting them on) Otherwise there should be no reason your phone “doesn’t recognize” you in the morning. Your eyes being a bit puff or whatever doesn’t impact it.

I don’t believe it’s that Face ID doesn’t recognize you in the morning, it’s that you’re holding your phone way too close and thus it won’t work.

(I don’t mean to come off rude or condescending btw just genuinely trying to help 🙂)

IMHO Siri has always been broken in the sense that it has never been ready for prime time. Sometimes it works, other times not. Maybe improved AI can solve the problem. IDK.

I’m also pretty certain the loudness measurements are inaccurate if you’re not using Apple headphones or the Apple dongle. How would it be able to know the sensitivity of every headphone’s driver via analog input? Even if it could detect the headphone’s impedance, the sensitivity rating is more prudent to determining overall volume level, and that rating is variable depending on the headphone model, and can even vary depending on the content you’re listing to.

Also, if you’re connecting your headphones wirelessly, you can often adjust the volume on both the phone, and the external receiver, separately. In this case, the phone volume should be set to max and you can adjust the overall volume from the Bluetooth device itself. In these common cases, the phone can’t accurately judge your headphone’s true volume level because it’s not controlling the level at all.
