Face ID needs to be rock solid on this flagship iPhone before Duo owners try convincing themselves and everyone else how much more they like side button Touch ID.

Pretty sure most of the people buying a duo also wear Apple Watch.

No, the answer is Apple needs to put Touch ID on all of its phones.

Not 100% this is only on the 18PM, my 17PM has been missing my face a lot lately even on the latest 27.2 beta....

I’m seeing the same on my 17PM, both on 27.0 public release and 27.2 betas. I’ve reset FaceID once but it’s made no difference, I get multiple failed reads daily.
