Apple iPhone’s Face ID Vs Touch ID Comparison: Which Is Better And More Secure?

At the recent iPhone event, Apple unveiled a new feature called ‘Face ID’ which allows users to unlock their iPhone simply by looking at it. Face ID is not an additional security mechanism to the way your phone already works. 

It’s a replacement because the iPhone X does not have the home button necessary for the fingerprint-scanning Touch-ID system. Unlocking your phone with your face isn’t exactly new. Android has had the feature for a while, and Samsung has used a special iris scanner since the Galaxy Note 7. But Apple is doing things very differently.

Since Apple announced its Face ID feature for the iPhone X, there have been a lot of questions about its security compared to a fingerprint-sensing, phone-unlocking Touch ID. So, in this article, we take a look at Apple’s Face ID Vs Touch ID comparison, detailing which one of the two is better or more secure than the other.
