Australia the risk here is tiny, if there was a mandate I will wear one. If the government that had guided us through this so we’ll say it isn’t essential I won’t.
How do you know for a fact apple can get rid of the notch without creating bigger chins or foreheads that would be even more controversial?
I'm sure you'll remind me and I'll be celebrating right there with you but don't gloat until it comes true or we'll both look like butt holes together when someone looks back on this board in a few months.
The internet is a weird place. You and I each have product desires but bicker over who is right and wrong for some future satisfaction for a product we both want. There has been mountains of pundits hedging against TouchID that I find it incredibly irrational to think Apple would take a feature that is no longer 'premium' as it's only in the base iPad, base iPhone and soon won't be on the premium MacBook Pro thanks to miniaturization of FaceID making its way to apple's premium laptops and you and I will still be here on a forum waiting for TouchID to happen.
well, you will because I've emotionally moved on from it ever happening but will gladly celebrate with you when it does.
May the victor get Touch ID along with the loser who also gets touchID and we both win
let's just be apple customers and not fight with each other. We're all human, I don't get any satisfaction from you being wrong.
They should have included one this year. With face mask usage , a finger print sensor is really needed.
I wear mine correctly at all times when I am out, I never have it under my nose.
I have a 2016 SE. The problem isn't the display type, but the manner that Apple implements the screen dimming. Your computer screen probably flashes LEDs on and off over 1000 times per second to simulate dimming. A desktop monitor might do 10,000 times per second, or even use DC dimming which doesn't flash the LEDs at all. The iPhone 12 mini has the lowest flicker rate of around 272 times per second, which causes eye strain for me. That's not a feature of an OLED or IPS display, it's just the manner which Apple chooses to implement it. While I hope that I can get a 13 mini with a screen that doesn't irritate my eyes, miniLED by itself isn't a fix. :\
Thanks for the info. Just it seemed the flicker issue arose with OLED.
Sorry to hear that's an issue for you. I think you could be in trouble then, especially considering there won't be a 13 mini! haha. 😆
It’s a hassle when you wake up in the morning in bed,when wearing certain sunglasses,certain hats,masks and at certain angles..that’s why.
touch ID is definitely easier to use.
Thank you for the gut rumbling laugh. It'll take years to trickle down to the "pleb" models.
Removing the finger print reader from the phone is a very strong contender for stupidest Apple product decision in recent memory.
Some stiff competition in that category aswell.

If you're referring to face shield it doesn't provide adequate protection.
I guess it will depends on how much surface area the under screen reader scans. If it does something like the bottom third, functionally it will be the same.
Clearly, you don't understand how long it takes to test, implement and scale. Apple has changed things in the past, but pretty sure, that they didn't look into their magic 8 ball and see that a pandemic would hit. I mean they had a hard enough time with their supply chain getting parts at the beginning of the pandemic. They can't just scrap what they had and go from FaceID to a much more error-prone (and more expensive) under-screen FP sensor in the course of a couple months....
