How is using face id for payments not a fluid motion? Double click on the side button and it’s ON to make payments, no need to do anything else. While on Touch ID you have to first initiate the payment and then unlock with a finger (2 steps)?
With Face ID you have to take your phone out, double click, then hold it up to your face and wait for it to work, then hold it out to do a contactless payment. With Touch ID you just take your phone out of your pocket with your thumb on the home button and pay instantly (you don’t have to initiate anything).
I must have bad fingers cos Touch ID is more miss than hit. More often than not, I'll just type in my password on the Mac. The Touch ID rarely works faster.
As for iPhone, the Face ID works (for me) soooo much faster and reliable than my finger ever did. I don't miss Touch ID for a second.
That's what I thought too, but you actually don't have to do the face ID when it's next to NFC reader. You double click the side button, while looking at the phone - it lets you choose which card you want to use for the payment, ONLY THEN you tap the phone to the NFC range, you don't need to look at the phone anymore after you unlocked it with a double click.
Yeah you don't need to do them at once, but with Touch ID you could authenticate in one smooth motion to the NFC machine rather than having to go up to your face first.
