But it also causes daily slowdowns, which range from the cancellation of trains to the inability to access your iPhone quickly. Blame it on… Face ID.

Update to iOS 13.5.1

Fortunately,with the update toiOS 13.5.1, Apple has provided a very simple solution to this technical problem. The screen automatically displays the numeric keypad to enter the unlock code, instead of launching the Face ID detection which usually occurs. But not all iPhones are eligible for this version of the software…
