Macbook Pro (2023) With FaceID - Selling Your MBP?

[Born Again]

So thinking ahead - we will get a macbook with face ID. It's coming likely in 2023.

Many of us who just bought our new 2021's would you consider selling?

Anyone else holding out for this update with FaceID?

 

[Sanpete]

Wouldn't use it, so no. I'm old fashioned.

 

[miamialley]

I couldn't care less if the current one had it.

 

[bsamcash]

I’m not as interested in having Face ID in a computer as I am a mobile device.

 

[TheGenerous]

I am face ID

 

[JonTa]

Notchless is the only thing I would upgrade for

The fingerprint ID is working really well on the new 2021. It's fast and accurate, far better than the fingerprint ID on my old ipad, and I see no reason to change just for a new login method.

I'll get it when I need a new laptop, not because I need face ID.

No. TouchID is a superior biometric authentication system in the context of device driven by keyboard / trackpad.

If FaceID was the one feature on why I am selling my M1 Pro Max, then chances are… I am the type of user who never needed an M1 Pro Max in the first place

I'm plenty happy with Touch ID so Face ID wouldn't make me upgrade specifically.

I mean, if I could trade Face ID for Touch ID on my iPhone 12, I would in a heartbeat. (side button touch ID)

No, I wouldn’t sell. The 16” is already more than I need currently and I’m not really a fan of Face ID for the computer. Touch ID works perfectly well. For my use—currently, I can’t imagine what new features would be introduced to make it tempting. I guess we’ll wait and see.

I do agree with you though, I also think the next upgrade cycle will be in 2023.

Oh, they'll come up with something!

Of course not. Face ID is irrelevant to me.

There is no point in Face ID, I can already unlock my MacBook Pro with my Apple Watch after hitting any keys on the login screen or flipping open my screen. It is simply no need to touch the Touch ID at all.

I'd update only if my current laptop is not meeting my needs.
