After a long hiatus, Apple has released another commercial. This time, he focuses on the new iPhone X again and focuses on one of the biggest innovations that the flagship brought in the fall – the ability to unlock the phone using a 3D facial scan, i.e. Face ID. The one-minute commercial highlights how easy it is to use Face ID and what it would be like to live in a world where multiple locked things could be unlocked using this method.
The main slogan of the spot is "Unlock with a look". In the ad, Apple points to the fact that Face ID is easy to use and what it would be like if Face ID could be used to unlock other items of daily use - a school environment was chosen for the needs of this spot. You can view the commercial below.

Video content aside, there's no denying that Apple didn't score points with Face ID. There are really occasional critical responses to the whole system, and most of the time it seems that there are users with a new function or a new way of unlocking satisfaction. How do you feel about Face ID? Does it work reliably in your case, or have you already tried it and couldn't unlock your iPhone with your eyes? Share your experience in the discussion below the article.

For me, faceID as a way of unlocking the phone is a step backwards. Yes, I understand that thanks to it, men can have a display even in a place where touchID would normally be, but using faceID is still limited. Sometimes a person just doesn't catch the angle at which the phone is in relation to the face and the faceID shakes the lock that I'm unlucky. It doesn't work in landscape, which annoys you if you have a wide phone, for example in the car or you're just watching a video, you pause it and the phone goes to sleep in the meantime. In the same way, waking up the phone with TouchID and getting to the desktop with applications was simply faster, with one press of the Home button. faceID is slower. If the phone is lying on the table, you need to lean over it or pick it up, focus on it, swipe your finger up and hope that the angle was right, the phone was not too close, or too far, or tilted. If, for example, a flyer with with a drone, the mobile phone holder directly covers the faceID area and thus getting into the phone means waiting for long seconds every time you fall asleep until faceID decides that it really prefers a code. In the same way, one cannot simply glance at the phone, placed slightly to one side, to see if an incoming e-mail makes sense to read right away. Again, take the phone in your hand, wake it up, focus on her with your eyes, wait a while and most of all instinctively don't swipe - at that moment the notifications would disappear.
I understand why Apple made FaceID, but it personally holds me back, the probability of successfully unlocking the phone is not very high, and I miss the inability to unlock the phone horizontally.
Personally, I would appreciate a fingerprint reader under the display much more.
I used to have similar reservations as Mirek S. After using this phone for a quarter of a year, I want Face ID on both my iPad and my laptop. There is no more natural and reliable authentication. Face ID definitely doesn't work by having to stare at it. It takes from a relatively large angular range, so even in the car in the holder is not a problem. So for me, I have to state that the theoretical assumption, which I really had exactly the same, in the end has little to do with practice.
And at the same time, together with the fingerprint reader, it is one of the best
exploitable ways to get into the phone. Just a complex number
the code doesn't really replace this. Apple should stop inventing bullshit
focus on making basic software functions work for him, such as
unlocking the display on a year-old phone with a new operating system.
