So...you only wear your gloves around other people?

Just think a little bit can you? When you enter a supermarket were you touch a lot of things such as gates, the cart, basket, and so on .... You really think it is a good idea not to use any protection?

When walking outside when I don't have to touch anything, I do not need to wear gloves. I do wash my hands and other precautions when I get home.

If you're not around other people, why are you wearing a face mask?

Hmmmm. Why would I wear a face mask during a pandemic when walking in public?

Enjoy your evening because it is pointless talking to people who cannot figure out basic things like this.

Says the guy who thinks it's simply a matter of money to have both a touch and Face ID system. *eye roll emoji*

Im pretty sure the evidence suggests wearing a face mask doesn’t help.

The issue you describe is no different to the one faced by those that have models of iPhone prior to the X. If the users wear gloves they can't use TouchId.

In that instance i'd imagine they just use passcode instead of cutting a hole in their gloves.

Most my gloves don have capacitive fingertips so can't enter the pin, either. I've tried a few capacitive gloves but they suck when it comes to accuracy so I end up removing them anyway.

I actually do have compression gloves without fingertips. They're the easiest to use ;)

If I just cut the tips myself, the fabric frays/unravels ruining the gloves. :p

Yet people in hospital who deal with patients do wear them and some government like Australia is even handing them out for free.

Also the US government is sponsoring companies like GM to produce more face masks. The same thing happening in Italy.

It is cool that the media says it does not help. But I think the media is BS based on what I am seeing.

I got a face mask so I am using it. Better safe than sorry.

Experts tell White House coronavirus can spread through talking or even just breathing | CNN

A prestigious scientific panel told the White House Wednesday night that research shows coronavirus can be spread not just by sneezes or coughs, but also just by talking, or possibly even just breathing.

You’d need one that covers your eyes too.

Bla bla bla bla bla. I am wearing a face mask, end of story.

Now I am not coming back to this thread again.

The point is that Apple should have offered this by default (even if there was no coronavirus) considering this is not something new as Android phones have this for a while now.

So I am being screwed by Apple their greediness.

Then maybe you should start voting with your money and buying Android phones that have the features you want. Then you aren't supporting greedy Apple anymore. But we all know that's not going to happen, you'd rather complain about insignificant issues online.

Not funny (to me), but the epitomé of pathetic.

Oh I agree 100% it’s pathetic.....The replies back and forth made me laugh out loud though.

MR has gotten steadily worse over the years with some of the silly arguments, and most of them annoy the hell out of me. This one however was different, it was so far off the scale it turned into humour. All in all, I think @bpeeps summed it up perfectly in post #47.

You would think there are more important things to worry about than being inconvenienced by having to use a passcode in certain circumstances until this is all over

unfortunately there isn't an end in sight at this moment.... agree entering the passcode is such a pain.
