The biggest gripe in that article is FaceID rarely working. I’ve used it heavily with 99% success. Even with sunglasses on. Maybe reset your facial capture? I did that with TouchID and immensely improved unlock rate.
Money quote: “lifting your arm up for FaceID to work is a pain in the ass” - According to Sprint retail employee. CNET was desperate for an article.
Not to defend Cnet, but: isn't the important statistic the false positive rate?
In other words, "recognizing me 99% of the time" isn't nearly as important as "recognizing when it's not me 100% of the time"... and there are already known spoofs out in the wild where it won't successfully recognized unauthorized access attempts.
