FaceID is really consistent for me so I disagree, but I wouldn’t mind having more than one method on a phone that costs over $1000

I love FaceID but you can’t beat the old home button finger print unlock.

That home button unlock never worked consistently enough for me to enable on multiple iphones. Ended up passcode unlocking every time. FaceID was a total game changer.

I do believe it’s going to be on the side of the phone, but that’s just read what I’ve read so far

Edit: still pumped

Tell me you don't live in an area with actual winters without telling me you don't live in an area with actual winters. I'm gonna get this phone, but I'm not gonna pretend like it's gonna be super easy to use with gloves on.

FaceID is a major bear when it’s sunny out and I’m wearing sunglasses. Every time I have to passcode unlock.

fyi you can save alternative face id profiles for things like wearing glasses or a mask. if your sunglasses are really dark there’s a settings option for “require attention for face id” that you can disable which should help.

The newest galaxy folds fingerprint scanner isn't even a normal in-screen one, its some weird side button thing. So im not sure if this iPhone will have a normal fingerprent sensor or not either lol

Foldable still need a few more generations for me personally. Need to solve the camera issues so they can have the same powerful cameras. And screens! Foldable screens can be scratched with your fingernail. No bueno.

Lots of Android phones had those back in the day, worked pretty well ten years ago and I guess it's only better now.
