The removal of the home button isn't such a big deal, and facial recognition technology already exists in some form on other phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8 but it feels more natural. The first thing you do when you pick up your phone is look at it — so why shouldn't your eyes open it for you? That being said, I wasn't too sold on using Face ID for something like Apple Pay; it was a nifty trick, but I much prefer using my thumb, as it's easier and less awkward to do in person.
