Face ID automatically kicks in no need to move your thumb. That means lifting your phone from the desk or tilting your head (at least without changing settings).īut if you’re already looking at the phone, it’s much faster to log into apps that used to require a fingerprint.
You might see that your cousin had sent a message, but Face ID needs to recognize you for the message to appear.

And I have to avoid squinting Apple says eyes need to be fully open.īy default, full notifications don’t appear on the lock screen. I have to remember to hold the phone several inches back for Face ID. I’m nearsighted, so I hold my phone close when checking in bed without glasses. It also works in the dark – if you align your face just right. It’s also more convoluted to close unresponsive apps with a combination of swipe, hold, press and tap good thing I don’t need to do this often.įacial recognition works fairly well for unlocking the phone, even if you’re sweating and shaking during a run. I’m used to the home button on the right – and tried to swipe there. It can still be confusing while watching video horizontally, as the swiping edge moves to the new bottom. I knew I’d mastered it when I thought an old iPhone was defective because I couldn’t swipe. Swiping up used to get you settings in the Control Center now you swipe down from the top right instead. Instead of pressing the home button to return to the home screen, you swipe up from the bottom. Most of the changes aren’t necessarily better – just different, forced upon me to accommodate a larger display and other forward-looking gizmos.įortunately, the new gestures are mostly simple. I followed that with a Netflix marathon on the couch. I read an e-book and listened to podcasts. I bought three sandwiches, popcorn and a ruler with Apple Pay. In my 10 days with the iPhone X, I tried to fool its Face ID feature. With no more home button, this mostly means replacing presses with swipes and the fingerprint ID sensor with facial recognition. NEW YORK (AP) – The future of the smartphone, as Apple calls its new iPhone X, means breaking old habits.
