Face ID has been fantastic. I currently have an 11 Pro, and previously an XR and I’ve not had any more misfires than I did with Touch ID on the 5S, 6S and 8 that I owned previously.

The Covid mask mandates were a little rough until they pushed out that update enabling Apple Watch authentication, but the newer models don’t require that. They can do an initial unlock with the face obscured (but not payment or other more sensitive authentication).

That said, I miss Touch ID in two specific scenarios

1. The option to go directly to the home screen by tasting your finger on the haptic home button.
2. Quicker Apple Pay authentication using the same technique

But the overall gains far outweigh those two losses.
