It also depends on the model. The newer iPhone you get, the better the scanner is.

And, in case you did not know: it’s a 3D scanner, based on a technology similar to Microsoft Kinect. Presenting a 2D photo of your head won’t work. Presenting a 3D printed, but uncolored copy of your head would not work either.

This! Switched from 11 Pro Max to 13 and the change is very noticeable. Even if I’m wearing a bike helmet, the 13 still recognises my face instantly. I can also use Face ID if my phone is sitting horizontally (watching Netflix) these are the things which were either lacking or not as good on the 11 Pro Max
