John GruberI’m surprised the setup process for every new iPhone still asks whether you want to use FaceID with a mask when 99+% of people aren’t wearing face masks any more. There are lots of features that a small percentage of people use, but they don’t get asked in the device setup process.
KatAuntieNYC@gruber Still masking here in NYC. I'm happy to hear that it's part of the setup, but what I really want on whatever phone I get to replace my iPhone 7 is Touch ID.
@NycAuntie Why do you want Touch ID? Honest question!
@gruber I use my phone a lot in the transit system. Touch ID is quick and easy, compared to messing with Face ID. I really don't want to enter my passcode in a crowded public setting. Touch ID is perfect.
TortugonalYou don’t need to enter anything with FaceID. You just use your phone. You don’t need to target any specific TouchID sensor—literally just tap anywhere on the screen while looking at your phone. I think your concept of FaceID is mistaken
@tortugonal How is that easier than touching the home button on my iPhone 7 and having my phone unlock immediately?
@NycAuntie To each their own. Most importantly, no number codes involved in either. With FaceID, no need to aim for a button—touch the screen anywhere. Mostly, functionally, it’s almost the same
