I just want MACs to have Face ID

And I just want iPhones to have Touch ID (they could do it in the power button).

But for Face ID on Macs, I think that's because the display sides of those aren't thick enough for Face ID.

Yes it is. This is 100% the reason. There’s nowhere near enough surface area to get a unique finger print.

There are plenty of Android phones with very thin fingerprint scanners on the side.. They work well.

Some iPads already use TouchID on the power buttons so it's definitely something Apple can implement on the phones if they chose to.
