Touch ID was MUCH faster and more convenient.
TouchID is faster by maybe a second. For me, at least, FaceID is fast enough. As for convenience, I agree that TouchID is more convenient because you’re taken directly to the home screen after authentication whereas with FaceID, you still have to swipe up to get to the home screen.
