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.
Look at Samsungs ultrasonic ones. They need film screen protectors to work properly.I feel like and under screen fingerprint reader would be a more ergonomic solution?
No, it's better that you can't see it all day long, because it's not healthy to stare at battery percentage. It is anxiety inducing, and for the most part, uninformative.Why good? To hard for you to flip a switch if you don’t want to see it?
It absolutely is exactly because of user experience.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.
iPhone 8 or 7 I would say. The iPhone X was released within about a year or less of both of those phones. Rumors do suggest the non-Pro phones would keep the notch.When was the last time that the iPhone have a hardware design lasted only 1 year?
They just updated the notch on the 13 line, I find it hard to believe they would update the very next year.
Nah, 7 and 8 are essentially the same on the outside.iPhone 8 or 7 I would say. The iPhone X was released within about a year or less of both of those phones. Rumors do suggest the non-Pro phones would keep the notch.
I thought about those but I thought the XR and 11 were even more similar, at least material-wise. The iPhone 7 is made of aluminum on the back but the 8 is all glass. It really depends what you're focusing on I suppose.Nah, 7 and 8 are essentially the same on the outside.
Perhaps we can say the XR is one of them, but the 11 is still very similar to it.
The general design is still very similar from all the way 6 to 8. I agree that the XR and 11 are essentially the same with an additional camera lens.I thought about those but I thought the XR and 11 were even more similar, at least material-wise.

Your argument and reasoning is ridiculous. The space above the cutout is utterly useless.. as opposed to just covering that area and making a miniature notch?? At least the pill shape cutout has a bit of elegance to it…I prefer the notch. The area above the pill hole is utterly useless, no functionality at all. This design also make the camera hole much more visible to the eye than the notch.

Let's hope they keep the approach of the notch getting smaller and smaller & move the bar above the notch line:

The notch is horrible. I went from the 11 pro max, back to the 8 plus. I just got the new iPad mini, so I’m going to give the iPhone 13 mini a try. I wish they would have kept the iPhone mini one more year with this new design. I hate the notch…finally, a phone that is worth upgrading from my 6s. Makes me vomit each time when I need to see current massive stupid notch
I’m not a fan of Face ID, but I guess it wouldn’t be all that bad if you could unlock the phone in portrait mode…Because smart phones are typically manipulated with one hand. Do you think it would be manageable to reach the fingerprint sensor as large as these phones are with your thumb? Try doing that, and you’ll find out that it’s not very easy to do. That would require almost 2 hands to do that.
Face ID is far more convenient for many different applications, and I don’t suspect Apple has any plans just to ‘throw it away’.
I always thought the Apple logo on the back of the phone should have become the new Touch ID sensor..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!

Face ID is not the problem, the front camera and other sensors are. Face ID is easier to hide under the screen.Why is it so hard for a trillion US dollar company to figure out how to remove the notch completely without any gimmicks left behind, they had the notch for 4 years.
Just get rid of FACE ID, it’s the problem. Just like how you APPLE thought 3D Touch & TOUCH ID was the problem, DO IT, for a change.
