iOS 16 Adds Support for Landscape Face ID

On supported iPhone models running iOS 16, Face ID is able to work in landscape mode, making it easier to unlock the ‌iPhone‌ when it’s not held in the standard Portrait orientation.

This feature does not appear to be implemented in the current beta, and there isn’t a lot about it on Apple’s website at the current time, but it sounds like it will offer a much improved unlocking experience.

Apple does not specify which iPhones are considered “supported ‌iPhone‌ models,” so it may be a feature that works on all iPhones that have a TrueDepth camera, or it may be limited to newer devices.
