I kinda doubt that it now works "100% of the time" I've worked on a lot of iPhones for a lot of people and I've never seen one work "100% of the time."
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Since then it works as advertised, but be aware that "as advertised" actually means that it only works about 80% of the time. One of the drawbacks to how accurate it is, is that the fingerprint sensor will only accept "perfect" input. That means dry, clean fingers in a perfectly balanced (humidity wise) environment.

Not so much with my primary finger, but after a period of time the secondary finger will NOT be accepted. Let's say I use my left thumb for the primary fingerprint. I'm right handed. If for whatever reason I try to use the right thumb, it will not accept it and open the phone. So I delete the right thumbprint and register it all over again. All is well for awhile and then it's back to not recognizing the right thumb. Absolutely baffling and annoying. Time and again, so it's not like it's a fluke or dependent on which update iOS has at the moment.
