I totally agree— I like the notch better.Looks worse than notch

Because that would be an absolutely terrible user experience for iPhone users, that’s why.I still don't know why Apple don't just throw away FaceID and pop the fingerprint scanner in the power button just like on their iPads.
lol its the fastest of all biometric logins sooo while I am sure there is a reason Apple isnt doing it, it sure af isnt about user experience.Because that would be an absolutely terrible user experience for iPhone users, that’s why.
The iPhone 13 is my first FaceID device and I LOVE it. Especially this winter, it’s been terrific to just life the phone and access it without having to take off gloves. I know that some people don’t like it because it’s terrible when on a desk and you just want quick access, but that feels more like a gripe to me after using FaceID for over a month.I still don't know why Apple don't just throw away FaceID and pop the fingerprint scanner in the power button just like on their iPads.
13 Pro Max is my first notch phone. I thought I would absolutely hate it, but I don’t really notice it. Still, it would be super cool to have a full screen phone without a notch. When I do notice the notch, it’s a bit of an eyesore, IMO.Still not getting why there’s so much notch hate, I hardly notice it
Why good? To hard for you to flip a switch if you don’t want to see it?Good.
Like the chin on the iMac, the notch is now ICONIC to Apple’s designs. I don’t think they’ll get rid of it anytime soon until they can put the camera under the screen.I don’t think that the iPhone 14 (Pro) will look like this. Apple is making the notch their recognizable aesthetic. Look at icons that depict iPhones and now the new MBP design, that will will be around for years.
I’d bet on a smaller notch. They shrink the notch on the iPhone 13 Pro and will shrink it even further (and maybe make it less tall).
Yes that pill shape looks far better than a smaller hole punch featured on every cheap android that actually takes up less space. Seriously? Just for the sake of having a ‘distinct’ look? 🤦♂️
No offense but some of you are completely brainwashed by Apple’s branding and marketing, so much so that having a wider hole on a phone is somehow better than a smaller one.

Unless you have an apple watch - I have been very pleased with the unlock with watch feature.Yes and faceID in general is pretty terrible especially in the age of masks.
Because it’s more natural to have a fingerprint sensor on the front of the display for unlocking & manipulation. The technology wasn’t ready yet to embed a fingerprint sensor under the display, hence why they likely chose to use the rear of the phone for a fingerprint sensor as a temporary work-around.Google and Samsung had it right a few years ago. Fingerprint sensor on the back, where your index finger naturally rests when holding the phone. Why they got rid of that in favor of finicky under display sensors makes no sense!
All I know is I used a Pixel 3 for a couple of years and loved the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. It was a natural way to access the phone with a finger. No, it wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t unnatural and my 6S never felt “more natural” than my pixel. In fact it was just the opposite as the rear sensor felt natural and made a ton of sense.Because it’s more natural to have a fingerprint sensor on the front of the display for unlocking & manipulation.

And it wasn’t as manageable as you think with the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. If you have small-er hands, and trying to unlock the phone one-handed was not always easy. You would have to hold the phone with two hands to reach the rear unlock sensor on the back of the phone, which is just even more cumbersome.
