It's a hardware thing not IOS but Face ID is miles ahead of any Android alternative. Like it's so much better there is no comparison.
Source: made the switch to iPhone this fall, after 13 years of Androids.
I can't be the only one who hates face ID. I wouldn't mind it if Apple added a touch id somewhere :/ I love the touch id on my Samsung AND I can use my face to unlock my phone as well. I like having the choice rather than be forced to use one over the other π€·
iOS needs a trusted devices feature like android has.
Apple Watch works great to unlock iPhone and iPad, especially love it while skiing and I donβt have to touch my phone or take off my facemask,goggles and helmet!
Yeah, but Apple being Apple the restriction it to Watch. I wear a Garmin. They should really let me specify any device.
This is a very Apple move, prioritise Apple device sales over customer freedom, choice and enjoyment. They are notably bad at this compared to Samsung, Google etc
Apple can provide cover for this restriction by touting their T2 security chip and underlying architecture that enables their chain-of-trust. It just so happens that they're the only company that is authorized to use those chips, so it's a very wink-and-a-nod excuse at best.
