Hello Everyone, I submitted the following bug to apple and thought I'd post it here for your information.
Although this bug has already been confirmed and discussed by others, on the web, in Apple discussion forums, blogs, etc, I wanted to contribute to this conversation since, at issue, is an accessibility feature. Please feel free to use any or all of my bug report in your own submission to Apple. Mark [BEGIN BUG REPORT] Subject: REST FINGER TO OPEN INCONSISTENCY ON IPHONE 8 / 8 PLUS, ONLY NOTE 1: This bug only effects the Rest Finger to Open feature in terms of unlocking the screen. All other Touch ID functions, including Apple Pay, work perfectly. NOTE 2: I can only reproduce this problem on iPhone 8 / 8 Plus running the latest commercial release of iOS 11.x as of Sunday, November 12, 2017. NOTE 3: The bug only occurs after the device has been powered on for longer than 20 seconds. BUG DETAILS: The Rest Finger to Open feature does not work consistently on iPhone 8 / 8 Plus. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. >From the Settings menu, select General. 2. Select Accessibility. 3. Select Home Button. 4. Set, Rest Finger to Open, to ON. 5. Lock the display with the Power button. 6. Press the Power button to wake up the display. 7. Now, place your finger (with a registered finger print) on the Home button. Do not actually press the button but, merely, rest your finger on the button. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7, above, in order to experience the bug. As you can see, sometimes the Rest Finger to Open feature will work and sometimes, more often than not, it fails. WORKAROUND: The simplest workaround is to first lift, then rest your finger on the Home button, a second time.
