iPhone 13 pro Face Id

Is anyone else finding the Face ID not as responsive at times on their new iPhone

I think my 12 pro was better. Wife got it and it never failed. I’ve had a few failed on 13 pro

It’ll still be learning/updating. Your 12 had months of updating to get it spot on.

But it not miss a beat on the wife and she only just got it. I don’t recall it having issues when I first got the 12 pro

No. Why would I ? Gorilla glass is bomb proof.

I’ve always had. Screen protector but no case. As I did scratch my screen on the 11 pro somehow.

No I have a case. And I hate it. But the case I want isn’t in stock yet.

A work colleague had this on one of their old phones. He just deleted his face and went through the process to re-learn it and then it was perfectamundo.

I’ve just set it up again fingers crossed

They've combined the dot projector and flood illuminator into a single unit on the 13 so it's at least possible this hardware change has resulted in a slight difference in performance.

I think it has effected the performance

Might take my phone back then I case I’ve a dodgy one

I restored my phone from my 11 pro and it reset the face id anyway. Sounds like you may have a faulty phone.

Have you a screen protector.
I am seeing people saying it effecting the 13 pro if there a smudge where sensor are

The FaceID on my 13 Pro Max is very slightly less reliable than on my 12 Pro Max. I’m going to give it a little more time to ‘learn’ though.

Out of interest have you a screen protector?

I do, i'm using the Spigen EZ Fit tempered glass protector. I have always found them to be the best. It’s definitely not that though, as the protector goes around the camera/FaceID module perfectly.

I actually reset FaceID and did the scans again, holding the phone in a more natural position the second time and it now seems to be working as it should. I think I may have held it a little too far away when I did the initial scans.

funny enough I discover yesterday the Face ID works at the distance we set up at better. Whilst in the past it didn’t matter. As I tried my wife 12 pro which was mine and it works what ever distance. So the changes Apple made to make the notch smaller had effect it

I agree, it does seem slightly more distance sensitive than previous FaceID models. I’ve actually had them all: X, XS Max, XR (current work phone), 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max. The flood illuminator and dot projector are now in a single module.

Personally I think it a bad move

Blame all the morons foaming at the mouth over the size of the 'notch' for that one.

Yup

Rooky007 · 9 Oct 2021 at 11:22

Seem to be ok now took screen protector off

The problem isn’t the shattering though, it’s the scratches. Without a screen protector they get ruined with fine scratches everywhere.

i have ordered a screen protector from
Amazon that says it for the 13 pro just to see if it makes any difference to my 12 pro. In case they was altered for the camera but can’t see that.
