Which iPhones have Face ID that work in landscape?

I watch a decent amount of videos on my iPhone, and there’s nothing worse than trying to unlock your iPhone in landscape with an iPhone that doesn’t support Face ID in landscape. 

You have to do that tilt gesture with your head while looking like an idiot to unlock your phone, or you have to turn your phone back to portrait mode to unlock it. You can also meet in the middle and do a slight head tilt and turn your phone at the same time, but the problem is you're eating fried chicken, and your hands are covered in refined oils.

Trust me, I’ve been there.

To avoid this, make sure you buy an iPhone that supports Face ID in landscape. Any iPhone 13 or later model on iOS 16 or later will support it.
