    I prefer the touch ID. It doesn’t require me to hold my phone up to my face all the time, whether I’ve washed my face or not, in the light or in the dark.

    I’m not even sure if Face ID is constantly collecting my facial data, it’s terrible.

    I recently set up an old iPad mini 4 I had laying around, after using FaceID only devices for the past few years. I forgot how fast it is to unlock and get right back to where you were, without having to do the awkward hold the phone up to your face move or tilt the iPad at an angle to get the right capture.

    It was so fast in comparison, I thought the device wasn’t getting locked when I pressed the sleep button and had to try waking it up with another finger where it prompted for the PIN.

    Face ID is nice, but I’ll stand by TouchID being superior for seamless just grabbing a device and authenticating before it’s made it to your face.

    Do hashtags do anything on Reddit? Lol /s

    I don’t need Touch ID. I don’t want it. If others do, let them have it, but allow me to disable it.

    Unless it’s a new form of snappier and more reliable Touch ID, I think I’ll prefer FaceID. Even with Samsung’s slightly more secure Ultrasonic reader, it’s accuracy and usability is impeded when you have a screen protector on. So if it’s between an optical fingerprint scanner and FaceID, then I’d choose FaceID. UNLESS, Apple decides to be nice and add a fingerprint scanner onto the Lock button

    Apple kind of “foreshadowed” that in-display fingerprint scanner will never a thing with iOS 16 where they moved the notifications to the bottom side of the screen.

    I think they should add it to the power button like the iPad Air 4/5 and the iPad 10th Gen. :)

    Face ID totally replaced it, if anything it should be both, with Touch ID being in the powerbutton

    I’d want the Face ID to be kept but add fingerprint at the back of the phone like some Samsungs
