Now you need yet another Apple device to unlock your device. 🤦♀️Alongside “Unlock with Apple Watch” it’s even better.
What? If you have an Apple Watch, it does help because you use it for Apple Pay. Phone never leaves the pocket and face or touch ID not needed.Apple Watch does not help when you are standing in a crowded line at a store to check out since it does not work for Apple Pay. You have to pull off your mask to operate the phone in the one location where you do not want to pull off your mask in order to make your purchase. Plus, everybody around you is freaking out that you are removing your mask. Sort of defeats the purpose of Apple Pay when it is quicker to just insert your credit card.
No interest in Face ID and not required. My opinion of course...We don’t need Touch ID anymore than we need to bring back floppy drives. Move on. Move along. Literally nothing to see here. Face ID is a million times smarter, faster and more convenient. Finding one use scenarios where Touch ID is ‘better’ is not a reason to build all that tech into a phone again. That is all.

I own an Apple Watch, and even I don’t think that it’s an adequate substitute.You'd be surprised. People have been of the opinion that since they have an Apple Watch that they can use to unlock phones and computers anyway, we don't need Touch ID even on the Mac!
The confusion between 'me' and 'we' is strong, especially in owners of Apple Watch.
Isn’t the tech being there the very definition of innovation? How is apple falling further and further behind?I just don’t get it. The tech is there and it is stable. Apple still puts out high quality products, but as far as innovation goes, they are falling further and further behind.
he reasons for Apple's decision to scrap its initial plan to include Touch ID with the iPhone 13 remains unknown; however, the company may not have felt that the technology is mature enough yet to go mainstream in its flagship iPhones.
I hope Touch ID is kept in some form, it's good for visually impaired iPhone users and works well with VoiceOver. If you're not able to see then lining the phone up in front of your face to authenticate is difficult.
it was its best featureTrue. I remember Copy Paste coming with the 3G
Buy an Apple Watch? Are you serious???? Why should someone buy something they don't want or may not need just to log into their phone? FYI the UK is not the entire world. There are 50 individual states in the U.S along with serval other countries.
No. All solutions for under display fingerprint scanner (optical or ultrasonic) are still inferior to plain capacitive scanner.Is there any case for under-screen-touch-ID being better than iPad-Air-style-lock-button-touch-ID beyond "it's cool"?
The whole idea just sounds kind of hare-brained, expensive, and buggy; and now that lock-button is proven to work, pointless.
(I have no interest in a 13 over this 12 but I would upgrade for lock-touch-ID)
Me either. I absolutely hate face ID.I'm getting tired of waiting for Apple to catch up with the competition. My biggest bug bear right now is wearing face masks and not being able to authenticate Apple Pay in stores. I've never found FaceID to be more convenient than TouchID... Fix it.
