Check out this video comparing the Face ID speed of the iPhone XS to the iPhone XS Max and iPhone X.
On its iPhone XS page, Apple says "the advanced Secure Enclave and new algorithms make Face ID even faster." To test this, we woke up each device while looking at it, and measured how long it took to recognize a face and unlock. All three devices were cleanly restored to iOS 12.0.
Surprisingly, all three smartphones were extremely close in speed. The iPhone XS Max finished first with an average time of 0.639s, followed by the iPhone XS at 0.650s, and the iPhone X at 0.661s. We did not measure the time it took to load the homescreen following a swipe up which could affect the perception of how fast Face ID is.
