iPhone Duo Reviewers Really Miss Face ID

Reviewers criticized the iPhone Duo's side-button Touch ID, saying an intentional pause on the Lock Screen makes unlocking slower than Face ID. Apple said the delay lets users check notifications and matches the experience on Macs and iPads.

• Apple added an intentional pause to every Touch ID unlock on the iPhone Duo
• Marques Brownlee and Joanna Stern called the lack of Face ID the biggest loss
• Workaround: wake the phone, swipe up, then touch the sensor
• Unlocking via Apple Watch proved faster than Touch ID
