iPhone SE has Touch ID exclusively and if rumors are true, there is an SE replacement planned for 2022 that seems like it will be Touch ID only as well. Why don't you just purchase one of these?
Lazy designers. They even dusted off iphone5s case design so it can be used in ip12. If Apple didn't have a following this large, they would be innovating. Since they know people will buy anything from them, you get this. Lucky for consumers we have choice.. don't buy it or just need to look beyond the fruit.
really its so far ahead than Kuo predicted the iPhone X 18 months before anybody knew about it
Why "max"? The 12 Pro should get it as well. Pisses me off when the "max" monstrosity gets better components.
120Hz not coming to the iPhone 12 this year is not due to Apple being "unable to innovate". It is not coming because the current suppliers of such displays can meet the lower volume everyone else combined needs, but cannot meet the tens of millions that Apple would need.

I agree 100%!! Android flagships are seriously pushing the technology envelope, take the xiaomi mi 10 ultra ($865) as an example; this phone is a beast!!!
I'm sorry to say but I am slowly waking up from my long-cast Apple spell and all of the sudden the mobile technology world seems full of possibilities...
Differentiation. FaceID is essentially contactless so (ideally) faster and less intrusive solution to biometric authentication. In practice, I still find TouchID to be superior in certain situations.
12 will be delayed so long 13 will release first
There were rumors that won’t happen until 2023, if true, Apple is nuts, but I believe it, it seems they only care about innovating when it comes to the iPad these days.
It may be larger than the old power button, but the new Air is still only 6.1 mm thick, which is thinner than any iPhone currently being produced (with the thinnest being the SE at 7.3 mm) so it wouldn't be a stretch to include it on future iPhones.
Because Apple does not want to ship 120Hz, they want to ship ProMotion. This variable refresh rate is not possible without LTPO panels.
There’s currently only one company that manufactures these panels for phones: Samsung Display (LG display only has a watch display line dedicated to making the Apple Watch displays). Samsung can’t manufacture enough of these panels this year for a product as big as the iPhone and these panels have to come from somewhere. People seem to think that Apple can just snap their fingers and that the panels magically appear.
Also, Apple “can figure this out” for sure because they literally invented LTPO technology for this purpose. For every Galaxy Note 20 Ultra+ Max or whatever Samsung sells with LTPO display technology they literally have to pay royalties to Apple for.
LOL, you think “copying” the iPhone 5S is like opening the CAD and making it bigger.
What Chinese smartphone manufacturers have had for quite some time now Apple plans on getting next year. Maybe USB-C with proper data transfer speeds next year too
If these rumors are true, we’ll have reached a point where we have iPhone models spanning 5 release years that cannot be differentiated except for small camera and performance improvements.
I think one of the biggest “issues” is that iOS is designed so well that the iPhone experience is no longer improved by new models.
Although this would never happen, Apple and Samsung and others could easily justify an every-other-year release schedule for their phones. There is simply not enough that can be done to drastically improve hardware year after year.

This is typical Apple rumors reaction. Some competitors have a bunch of features with obvious tradeoffs, which partially explains why their products don’t succeed as Apple’s.
Instead of thinking in the obvious reasons why they don’t implement them, some people firmly believe that it’s because they have “lazy designers” or they purposely make the bare minimum product.
Reading some of those comments you can understand how almost every competitor is so unfocused.
