pls dont kill me.....

im just curious, in 2023 what exactly does ios have over android.

the only two things i can think of is the longer support and apple ecosystem.

otherwise androids just have far far more features than ios does.

can anyone help me understand if theres more to it or if thats it.

I have never liked FaceID. Feels like a downgrade to me. After how many years, I still find it to be a poor user experience. Waking phone with the same button used to authenticate fingerprint is a far superior experience.

I could see FaceID making sense on a desktop. Not a great experience on a phone. Far less smooth than fingerprint readers.

It makes no sense to only have face ID or a min 6 number passcode. I borrowed my boyfriends iPhone for 2 weeks and absolutely hated face ID. I love using my phone while lying down, it was annoying having to sit up just to unlock my phone and get into some apps etc

You actually have to sit up just to get FaceID to work? That's pretty lame considering it was touted as being so convenient.

Yeah, unless it could be because my double chin is terrible when I'm not sat up 😂 but I'm pretty sure the phone can't read people's faces when it's in horizontal mode
