I got the iPhone 10S around launch time, and while of course face id technically works with VoiceOver, I find its much less efficient and time consuming than touch id. It seems to take more effort than it did with touch id.
At least a few to several times a day I have to manually enter my passcode. This was rarely the case with touch id, maybe with touch id, I might have to manually enter my passcode a few times a week rather than a few times a day. I have to concentrate a little bit to get face id to work where as the touch id "just worked," it was kind of like breathing you never had to even think about it for a nanosecond. I wish someone did a study to see how much longer it takes VoiceOver users to unlock the phone with face id instead of touch id. I would be shocked if it the same or faster. It probably takes, I'm just guessing, an extra 1-3 seconds on average to unlock the phone. I find it also is a much less natural movement to have to pull the phone pretty far from my face to unlock it as opposed to using the fingerprint. I am curious if the rest of you have this experience, or if you have gotten face id to the point whereyou think its just as efficient and does not take any longer than touch id. I'm not sure if Jonathan Mosen still reads this list but he has mentioned as an example and data point that he does not miss the touch id and he does not find the face id to be less efficient. I would hate to go backwards but I find the face id to be at least a moderate annoyance when I was used to touch id working nearly perfectly 99% of the time.
