On the previous iPhones with Touch ID, we were able to unlock our phone without pressing the home button after getting recognized by Touch ID.
I’m missing this feature on the new IPhone X with Face ID. I would love to be able to unlock my phone without swiping up.
What do you guys think about this?
Dude, you've made your point (numerous times), I see no reason for you to keep chipping in here.
This is a community board and discussion/debate should be welcomed, not shot down and ridiculed. Just step back and let the discussion happen.
Dude, you don't tell me what I can or can't do. Get it Dude? As to your point about this being a community board. You've got this all wrong. Yes, it's called Apple Discussions. But it's not a debate chat group. It's sole purpose is for people who have issues to have a place where other users can help them. Ask a question, find a solution. It's in the TOU you agreed to when you joined the forum. So no Dude, this is not a debate forum. If you want one of those, I'm sure they're out there, but you've got it all wrong with this one. And there is no reason to debate this topic. iPhone X is operating as designed, so if you or anyone else doesn't like it, leave feedback for Apple or go to another platform. We don't care.
Seems the advise is all one-way, given you just contradicted your own advise.
I appreciate the pointer early in the thread to the apple suggestion site, and took it. And, I get that the community here can't fix the problem.
What I don't get or appreciate is the judgemental, preachy and sarcastic response to people who were trying to clarify whether there was a way to achieve what they are seeking. Rbrylawski is guilty of this especially, along with Allan Eckert, echoing their own views and deriding the newcomers.
It's clear Apple isn't here, because the discourse from this "support community" with the tagline "we don't care" doesn't live up to their ideals.

The Terms of Use to which we all agreed when we registered are pretty clear about the fact that this is a user-to-user support forum. Apple's participation here is minimal. If you wish to get support from Apple, use the Contact Support link at the top right of every page.
Disagreeing with someone is, despite what you might have been told, not the same as deriding them.
I used to work in a room with about 6 people who deemed content acceptable based on whether it had accurate information, and they also provided answers that were already documented in a knowledge base or another discussion. Otherwise who do you think deturmins if a question is "Answered"?

Except for Host's who monitor the posts for acceptable content. Otherwise, you are correct, Apple isn't reading these posts.
Even the hosts don't monitor, unless a post has been reported to them for review. Anyone with 150 points or more can report a post for review. A host will then look at it, and decide if it violates ToU, and may take no action, edit it, or hide it.
The problem is stairing at the iPhone waiting for the unlock symbol.
This is unnecessary as you don’t need to wait for phone to show the unlock symbol before you swip up.
Try swiping up before your phone is unlocked and it’s faster.
So it comes down to your choice which is...
swip up vs. press button
Agreed! Apple loves to go backwards in technology! It bothers me so much that now I need an extra step to unlock the **** phone. Then what's the point of Face ID???!! On my Note 8 I look at the phone and my Irises unlock it and take me straight to the home, all other iPhones same thing this is an error on the X and taking tech backwards. Totally bothers me!
Having the option to turn off the required swipe up off would DEFINITELY be nice. I'm ok with the face ID conversion required with the X (I think so far anyway), but I'm not liking the added swipe up sign in process of this new $1500 phone. Feels awkward and like a step backward not forward in the UI!

It's not necessary for YOU to tell other's what they can or can't respond to. When you buy this forum, you can make the rules.
Your Logic is wrong if touching home button while holding the phone is a step then looking at the phone to unlock it is a step also how on earth touching home button and swiping up is the same swiping really is inconvenious
For Apple to serious to consider as an ‘option‘ in accesability. The user wants instant access to the phone. The security is only ‘needed’ for other than owner....
as many update are on iOS 11, this should be able to put in minor update release.....
I get the point about your answer, and i agree to. But in the matters of fact you still have to wait about a seconfd before the scrreen turn on and recognise face. I the case of touch id you can just pick up your phone while touching the id. Than after its arrieved in front of your eyes u can just do your job tap it right away.
🙂 i hope this answer can help.
Surprised about these emotions. Anyway; thought these devices are about continuous improvement. If in the past user would need 2 actions, now I would expect single action (look at the device). How difficult can it be to add that option to the settings of Face ID. Than someone that would like to stay as it is today, can still do that
Does apple read these, or still to report somewhere else?
(I could have sworn this was a "Support Community". Precious little evidence of either being shown.)
It not about how "arduous" swiping is. It's about how much users are "delighted" when using Apple products.
