I have an iPhone 8 for jogging and iPhone 11 Pro Max as my daily driver. Both have Apple Pay and the iPhone 8 with TouchID is so much easier to use in this mask-wearing world when using Apple Pay and general unlocking of the phone!
It’s not(ch) fine. 😊
Security risk of people seeing your code in public. Complex passcodes are difficult and time consuming to type in especially if you're in a situation that requires frequent locking and unlocking of the iPhone (changing music, going back and forth between some task and the phone, directions, etc.)
But you drop another 700-1000$ on a new iphone..
Jesus , how could we lived in the iphone3g -iphone 5 era ?!? Did people saw often your password on those years?!
Just use your pass or learn faceid with your mask put on
I wish they'd some day put Touch ID on the phone in addition to Face ID. I'd just like to have the option, and not just because of masks.
I will probably get the iPhone 13 (a.k.a. 12S) since I have the 11 now and I've been upgrading every two years ever since I first got an iPhone.

I guess it's a good sign of getting rid of the notch at some point.. Wonder how long it will take to get there.. 2023?
My iPhone X is gonna look just like this years iPhone. Even more reason to wait. 2023 is the year to upgrade.
Please dont spread corona
Yes, they could see your password... hence the introduction of TouchID and other such technologies. You practically can't buy a smartphone anymore that doesn't have fingerprint unlock.
I prefer Touch ID for a myriad of other reasons outside of just the whole mask thing, I just think it was better for my usage and worked in more situations such as when wearing sunglasses or not looking at the screen dead on.
Just make the phone slightly curved in the back to be flush with the highest point of the notch and nobody will notice. Plus, it will fit smoothly in a pocket. Just a thought.
120Hz, TouchID on the home button and a smaller notch with the same design would sell me. I was absolutely tempted to get the 12 Pro this year, but the lack of 120Hz kept me from the Pro and I went with regular 12 - which is a great phone.
I have no intention of buying an iPhone 13 to be honest. My 12 is on a 2 year contract anyway and is plenty good enough until 2022. I’m probably in the majority though on that.
They say this every year. I think the notch will still be there for a few more years until they can eliminate it entirely.
Touch ID and I’ll upgrade from my X.
Couldn’t give a monkeys about the notch. The way I use a phone these days, even my creaky old battery leaves me with 50% at end of day. You see less notch the less you use your phone ;-)

As someone who lives in a cold climate, FaceID is much more useful than TouchID that is useless with gloves. The widespread use of masks will hopefully soon be a thing of the past, winters not (until climate changes takes that away from us).
In 2023 or 2024 they will remove the notch and put the punch hole camera and call it REVOLUTIONARY!
The perfect phone for me would be iPhone mini with no notch, touch ID on the side.

It will be bigger than what we just saw with the 12
For pros
120hz
Touch ID
Always on display
Wearing masks is quite common in some places around the world even without a Pandemic, having the option to use whichever you prefer would be ideal.
Before Face ID, passcode was used. And now, it is some how unacceptable? I like Face ID and use it when possible. However, I don''t remove my mask in public just so I won't be inconvenienced with my phone.
