FaceID works in the dark so I suspect something else was going on with your friend and his garage door opener. Perhaps an iOS software bug; I did have FaceID refuse to recognise me once when it was new. Stories like that definitely make you question the reliability and provide a good chuckle for those still using TouchID.

I was almost sold on the stereo recording, but we know how that went. So I'll be able to hang on to my finger print iPhone 8 for a couple of years. By then maybe they will have advanced face ID since they are forcing face ID on us. On 9/23/2018 6:05 PM, M.
