Well, to be fair, some blind people don’t really care if it looks normal. It’s an advantage that we have, that we could use a phone without needing to have it even remotely pointing towards us. But we must adapt. I can almost guarantee that Android manufacturers will adopt something like FaceID, albeit without the true security that Apple gives, well, not counting attention-mode being off for us… Even then they couldn’t take the phone without you at least hearing the unlock sound, at most hearing VoiceOver speaking. Sure, it’s a little painful now, but it will get better, as it did with TouchID.

Sorry to say this, but if you are using your phone inside a bag or pocket, you look really strange to sighted people. It’s not normal. Also, FaceID is much more secure than TouchID ever was.

same here, who ever had the stupid idea of doing away with the touch id and
replacing it with this stupid face id should be shot!
another thing, is that you could use the touch id, whilst the phone is in
something like a bumbag, with out having to actually take it out. this is
particularly handy if using the phone whilst on horse back for example, as it greatly reduces the risk of dropping the phone. but now you can't do that
with this pesky face id rubbish!

Hey guys,

OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Thanks,

Jed
