As I mentioned in my original post, it would be pointless for me going backward when the future is Face ID. If I buy the 8 my experience will be short lived, as theyll never be made again... so I’d be selling it due to Face ID only to be buying it again I future.. dammit Apple, why couldn’t they continue the same formula as last year with with 2 systems.
I get what you're saying, but your logic is seriously flawed. Why subject yourself to something you don't like now just because you might have to deal with it in the future?
I prefer TouchID over Face ID as well, so you know what I did? I got an 8 Plus. There's no reason why I can't enjoy this phone for 2 or even 3 years. At that point, who knows what my options will be? Preparing for the future is one thing, but there's nothing stopping you from enjoying what you want now while you can.
