Typically my phone is unlocked before I’ve even fully pulled it out of my pocket. The muscle memory for thumb (or finger placement if it’s on the back) is a pretty low barrier to usability, and can be learned quickly.&lt;p&gt;Can you unlock your phone without moving it in front of your face? I can, if it’s sitting across my desk I can unlock it without picking it up or moving my head towards it. I do this regularly.&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you’ve forgotten how many usability compromises you’ve made in using Face ID, but I guarantee it’s slower.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mirthflat83</author><text>Sorry, it’s not. Face ID: Just pick up your phone and your phone automatically unlocks with your face. This experience is way superior than having to position your finger at a specific place every time you want to unlock it. Putting it on the back is even worse, you need to actually pick up your phone from the desk just to unlock it. I swear HN readers would create devices with the worst UX possible.</text></item><item><author>lwansbrough</author><text>Touch ID is an entirely superior technology and Apple is profoundly stupid for removing it. It doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be in the screen, just put it on the back. The lengths they&amp;#x27;ll go to offset the removal of Touch ID are astounding, from IR face tracking, to degraded biometric security, and now to requiring an Apple Watch to unlock the phone with your mask on. Talk about a Rube Goldberg machine.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>iOS 14.5 delivers Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch, new privacy controls, and more</title><url>https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/04/ios-14-5-offers-unlock-iphone-with-apple-watch-diverse-siri-voices-and-more/</url></story>
