Face ID Not Working [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

1P_Dave If I may can I make a "quick" analogy for you. Let us say that you lease cars instead of purchasing. Your dealer tells you (again and again) how great the new model is with all these great features. So you go ahead and lease the new one. Not long after you realize that things aren’t working like they should. Critical features aren't working. Also some features have been removed that you've always used.

The dealer tells you to bring the car in, after looking for awhile they say they can't fix it right away. Their solution is to take your old car back but you will still keep paying for the new one. A month passes and nothing. Another month and they tell you they are working on a fix. 2 or 3 more months go by with the same answer and your still driving your old car.

What would you do? Just wait silently hoping for an update whilst still paying the price you were paying for the new car? If so than you are a better person than I.
