Hello everyone.

I am an android user myself, currently using a Google Pixel 7. Not perfect, has several issues but still does the job for the price.

My a week ago my gf wanted to buy a new phone. She had problems with different android phones in the past so I advice her to buy an iPhone for its stability and overall great camera performance.

We got my girlfriend an iPhone 15 Pro. Her first iPhone, she loved the experience for a few hours.

A couple of hours after taking brand new phone out of its box, Face ID stops working, it says Face ID is not available.

I google, I read reddit and apple forums, even YouTube and watch videos. Everyone says the same things;

  1. Clear the camera (its a brand new phone)
  2. Hard reset the phone
  3. Delete Face ID and add it again.

She hard reset her phone more than 10 times within 7 days she used the phone. Always works for a few hours after the reset and then stops working again.

Apple is useless as fuck when it comes to this issue, I have seen a hundred different posts on the forums, telling people to do the same thing over and over.

At this point I believe this is a hardware issue not a software, but I could be wrong since it works for a few hours and then stops working each time.

So here I am for your opinions/experience. If any of you have had the same issue and fixed it in a different that we have not tried, could you please let us know?

Apple service is superb. Just make an appointment at your nearest Apple Store or service Center. They will either fix it or replace it.
