You don't think about it even when you see the spinning lock?

Finding the button with my thumb in my pocket was just impulse. Phone unlocked by the time I'm looking at it.

I have to start looking at my phone, watch the screen wake up, FaceID takes a minimum of a half-second? A full second? Feels like an eternity. Longer if I have a mask on but that's only recent, it used to not work with a mask at all.

I think that's my problem. There's nothing I can do to make it faster, I just have to wait for my face to be at the right angle so it can scan me. With my fingerprint, I was fully in control of how fast the unlocking process would be.

FaceID doesn't work if I yawn. Or if I sneeze. Or am squinting in the sunlight. Or if the phone is on my desk, fully readable, but not pointed at my face.

And, yes, all of these cases happened in the past month. I miss the TouchID. It was simple and I can't recall it ever failing me.
