If you want to open a notification, for instance, you have to tap it then Touch ID to open it. With Face ID, it’s already open when you tap.

I cut Twitter loading on 8 Plus because lol http://Twitter.app . Anyway, if we’re watching that’s 2 sec vs 3.2 sec from cold start.

Read the entire twitter thread for more effect, but I can see Face ID being faster than Touch ID in general as Face ID is one less action.
