I’d love to have seen a point update with a solution to face masks.

Apple has a real opportunity to skip Face ID by verifying if the wearer’s Apple Watch is nearby. The Watch is already a secure authenticated device. When you put on the Watch at home, Face ID on your iPhone verifies you and passes on that security to your Watch. As long as you keep the Watch on, it should be able to unlock your iPhone even if you’re wearing a mask.

Finger print reader on my SE seems to be working fine.

I really wanted to see the ipad power button TouchID added to the iPhone 12 lineup. That alone would have been better than practically any other update for every single user

IPSWs are available for download directly from Apple's servers if you want to update through iTunes. Just updated my 11 Pro Max to 14.1 after downloading the IPSW from the links provided below. Everything is working fine.

I may finally move from 13.7 in the next week or two when 14.1.1 is out.

I haven't upgraded yet either half laziness and half waiting for bugs to get sorted out. Sounds like the health app has a bad bug. Curious to know if 14.1 clears up that particular bug.

I agree. The option should be there for user to decide if they want to enable the feature like they already do with MacOS.

I'd be happy if Apple gave us the option to use a trusted WIFI network as an authenticator.

I'm at home 90% of the time nowadays... and no one else touches my phone. I'd rather my iPhone stay unlocked at all times when I'm in my home on my own WIFI.

I realize the danger if you've got kids running around the house grabbing your phone. And the aforementioned police scenarios too. That's why it should be optional.

But for me, at home, it'd be perfect!

And if law enforcement wants to unlock your phone and you have your watch on, well, now you’ve just let them in, or a mugger wants to get into your phone, well, there you go...

I would veto this option, but if Apple makes this available as an option for those who want it, I’m not opposed.

how about for people don’t have watch? I don’t have watch and I am not going to buy watch.

I did switch iPhone 11 to iPhone SE though. Never fan if FaceID anyway

The fact that your phone is "nearby" doesn't necessarily mean that you are the one using the phone.

True. But you could get a notification on the watch (like the "double click for payment" notification).
There are multiple ways to solve this and it's amazing to me (and apparently others) that Apple has been so slow on improving this.
