Ahh, au contraire, my French friend!

Sit in a quiet place, have some café and give it some thought, and you will come to a different conclusion.

Some hints:

My Asian friends joke that we Caucasian Americans all look alike; but not for us.

A mother always knows its child, a friend knows their friends, even in hat and sunglasses.

My sunglasses are the identical frames as my normal glasses. My hat only covers the top of my head. It’s not using pupil ID.

Placing a small card over my nose and mouth...and the ID does not work.

My Cary Grant like chin is very unique

Apple, I believe, demonstrated how it worked, even with sunglasses on at the grand opening 2 years ago.

All this shows how detailed the Face ID really is. And amazingly fast. Perhaps a set of Jackie-O sunglasses and hat would be a problem...but then it’s works for nobody!

eSIM and SIM

My XS has a physical ATT SIM in the slot. Under settings it shows two IMEI numbers, one primary and secondary.

Out of curiosity, I’ll ask when at the Apple store. But I have no real need for knowing. I read that programming the e SIM means having the camera look at a QR code.

Yes, only 1 year. Whoops

Of course, that goes without having to say it.

Really made the right decision with the XS. Size is much better for me (smaller), and next to nothing lost in screen size.

The series 4 watch is slimmer and fits under my buttoned long sleeve more easily too.

Face ID has been flawless. Daylight, pitch dark, two different eyeglasses, under covers, up close, arms length away. And in various lighting conditions. Warm, cool and shadows.

Sweaty face, just out of the shower. , morning or night. Flawless.

Much better than finger ID. And works very well with apps that use it. Seems more apps use it than I felt that finger ID did.

Mostly likely your last paragraph is correct.

However, I have also observed this phenomenon on web page log ins: i have passwords for webpages in my password keychain. When I say, yes, use the saved username/password, the Face ID animation comes up.

Is that using Face ID? Previously I did not have to use Finger ID, in iOS 11 at least. So maybe this is a iOS 12 feature? This thought just occurred to me. So I just tried to used my iPad Finger ID ( now running iOS 12) on a stored web page login, and it now DOES asked for my fingerprint. That is new. And this is different than using finger ID for the various keychain IDs. Maybe I’m not explaining myself well to those that don’t use this feature.

So that explains my feeling that Face ID is being used more. But it may be linked to iOS 12.

What do you know on this?

However, I’m observing the use of the ID’s for safari web page log on’s (not apps) for paying my electric bill, credit Cards, etc. This seems to be new in iOS 12, and I, mistakenly perhaps, thought this was the greater use of Face over finger ID. It appears that Apple increase the sphere of usage under 12 for both.

Is that what you know, also?

In any case, a wonderful feature have on the iPhone X series

It depends. This has been my experience under iOS 11: one of two things happen. Either 1) I tap the username box on a website say of my utility company, and the safari asks if I wish to use the log in info stored in the keychain; I say yes, it fill in the info and no fingerprint required or 2) if it doesn’t know the password, it asks if I wish to access the long list of passwords I have; to access that, I need to use my fingerprint.

Under 12, in the first case, if I say yes, it uses the password and my Face ID to enter the info. So that is different.

No I haven’t seen anything obvious. But I haven’t try to make any observations either.

I did see the headline, but doesn’t this happen with every launch? That and battery life. I thought to let the dust settle a bit first, before over thinking it.

Never had that under 11. Maybe some setting was not flipped on, and is now for 12. Idk

Right, it’s doesn’t. I’m sort of glad that I didn’t need my fingerprint for every web page before. I assumed that once my iPad was opened, it was just allowing me access to my web passwords.

The Face ID is so much faster and easier, so it works well.
