Well, see my use case of using it in the dark and the phone needing to increase brightness to maybe work vs. an IR projector just working regardless

And 2D imaging is easier to fool and 3D. That's just like a fact all you need to do is think about for a sec to prove, and can google if you want further verification

Not only that but in other poor lighting (dim, bright, odd shadows) conditions 2D fails significantly more often than 3D

It's like super neet 2013 tech apparently works flawlessly 100% for the time for you. But that is not the majority experience and most Android users don't even bother with 2D facial recognition due to the issues in reliability and responsiveness, let alone diminished security. Some Pixel users being the outliers since they have proper facial recognition

Sometimes I get amazed when I wake up in the middle of the night to pick up my phone and it unlocks automatically with FaceID for me. Would definitely much prefer the convenience than a few more pixels in that area

So you're just ignoring the fact that you can have both face id and finger id at the same time, like I already mentioned? I've never had to turn on any lights or anything silly like that to login to my phone with a biometric in the dark.

Like OK, if you ONLY want to rely on logging in with your face, then yeah I guess an iPhone might be your best bet, but I know I'm far from alone in preferring to have both face and touch id settings active.

If my phone ever failed to log me in with my face or finger, then I might maybe understand why one would opt for the oval, but as things stand, it just makes no sense to me.

The only reason I'd use fingerprint over FaceID is if I'm wearing a mask, but those days are behind us and FaceID also works with a mask anyway because it's able to

Fingerprint scanners don't work with my touch-friendly gloves that I do still wear, though
