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.

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.
