I think the teleportation feature has been postponed to 2164, do I get a Macrumors' article as well ?
The idea of TouchID coming back is almost too good to be true! Can't wait for the failed FaceID to fade away!
How about while yawning? Laughing? In the dark on my nightstand? In my pocket? Laying flat on my desk 2 feet away? While angled toward a checkstand paypoint reader?
FaceID is just a failure. It works in so many fewer situations than TouchID. Just because a tech is cool and impressive, doesn't mean it's practical or an improvement.
I don’t understand all this hype about TouchID coming back. I just sold my 12 Pro and currently using a 7 Plus, and TouchID just seems such a step backwards compared to FaceID. Also I don’t understand why they’d implement TouchID with FaceID, it’s redundant 
Where do people get this stuff from? We've spent years getting rid of fragile components?
We've spent even longer looking for new use cases and new materials to cover those use cases.
Let them research and experiment - that's how we ended up where we are now anyway.
Owning an 11 Pro Max, and an iPad Pro 12.9, I'd go back to TouchID in a heartbeat. I'm getting a bit hacked of with having to position my face in the right position for the iPad, and getting "Camera Covered" messages. I liked being able to unlock my devices without even having to look at them.I don’t understand all this hype about TouchID coming back.

All that I want is a foldable iPhone. The good news is to know that as I have anticipated, Apple is on the right path on this. The bad news is that we have to wait 3 years for that to happen.
Kuo pumps out a Touch ID rumor every year. It’s probably an easy paycheck at this point
I am very skeptical about Touch ID coming back to high end iPhones.
A foldable phone seems like a throw back to the clamshell vs. candy bar phone days. Now if you are talking about a phone that folds or rolls up like a piece of paper ok, let's hear more.

You can really claim anything is “going to happen” if you also also claim “Apple changed their plans” after it never materializes.
This just in: In 2023, Apple will introduce a phone with Sound ID that unlocks when it recognizes a user cutting a fart.

Touch ID is so dead that Apple put it in the iPad Pro and Air, and the MacBook Pro and Air, and the Magic Keyboards
If Apple putting Touch ID on a bunch of new devices is any indication, it will be back on the iPhone at some point.
This should definitely have been at least the interim solution. I am frankly flabbergasted that Apple has not addresses the issue of masks at all this year. They had more than a year to do something about it. They have done NOTHING (I don't want to hear about unlocking with Apple Watch - haven't got one, don't want one). Face ID was not even mentioned during the keynote and it is barely mantioned in the promo materials for iphone 13. It's absolutely clear now that masks are not going away any time soon. There needs to be a method to quickly authenticate with masks on. Apple not doing anything about it for 2 more years is a major fail.
