Seems like the face unlock works alright again, I don't know why it didn't work well. Perhaps it wasn't a software issue at all. I am not sure if there was another software update in the meantime that might have fixed the issue.

iphone 12 and 13 is same design language. if you check iphone 11, its curved but since 13 they use that stronger bezel. iphone 12 on 128GB is like a 10/10 deal. you'll never feel any pressure doing projects. 64GB on iphone 13 will leave you want...
