    I responded to either one of your comments here, but I can say that FaceID is pretty damn good for what it is, and it will not unlock for any of my coworkers while in a cleanroom. FaceID uses more than just the camera, as it can see through sunglasses.

      in that situation, its FaceID still works most of the time

      I don’t know what to tell you. I had one for 3 months and ended up selling it because it was so awful. Not just FaceID, so many different (and very basic) things. If I was so much as wearing sunglasses, it simply would not unlock, which makes sense, because it can’t see my face.

      for what it is

      Why not just use something that’s better? That doesn’t require a giant hole in your display?

      it will not unlock for any of my coworkers while in a cleanroom

      What are the chances everyone in your cleanroom has the same eyes as you? And what are the chances that there are hundreds of thousands of people somewhere who do, or that someone could simply fake your eyes to unlock it?

        Valid points, honestly. I have the iPhone because it’s what work provides me. So I made it work for me. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        My personal device is the Pixel 9 Pro XL, for what it’s worth.
