Older people can run into issues at work too. My sister, who worked as a nurse until she was close to 70, often had problems opening hospital medication cabinets which relied on touch id. It was an annoyance for the tech staff, as apparently a number of older people had problems with the cabinets. I’m hoping facial recognition will resolve the problem. |
I haven’t had issues with Touch ID yet, but I do find that Face ID is quicker and easier assuming you remember to point the camera toward your face. It is quicker because Face ID immediately starts trying to confirm your face whereas with Touch ID it has to wait for you to respond to the prompt to position your thumb or finger over the Home button. If you don’t have the camera pointing at your face though, you will get the prompt to input your 6 digit passcode (or password for logging into an app).
