Interesting, I have a lot of criticisms for Apple, but Face ID is not one of them, it is absolutely flawless for me. I wonder if you wear glasses or have facial hair?

No I don’t. I can’t open it during the night when I’m under the blanket for example

That comment is so Hacker News.

What does that even mean? I know people not on HN who have the same complaint. I also dislike Face ID, it often fails in very dark or very bright situations, it’s never a feature I don’t need to think about. Touch ID on my previous iPhone, however, never failed.

I'm honestly suddenly having issues unlocking my iPhone 17 Pro in broad daylight. Feels like it doesn't work in the sun anymore. No hair, just eyeglasses.

I've found you can do one of two things to some door this:

1. Turn around and face the other way. 2. Make a visor with your other hand on your forehead.
