Apple

If they made a version of the iPhone 13 Pro with Face ID and Touch ID, that would be my ultimate device.

I prefer that they remove the Face ID and leave only the touchID

Touch ID is the reason I still use an SE model. I doubt putting the Touch ID under the screen would preserve the reaction speed. I’ve seen phones with the screen button on the side with incorporated Fingerprint. With the background that iPhones are getting thicker again, this could be an acceptable solution.

I think having both would be nice, no?

one of the side buttons (power) could be made to have the same function - if they wanted to

Apple being Apple

It needs to come back and be alongside Face ID

Can someone please give me an example where facial recognition is better than fingerprint?

I liked Touch ID, but FR is so much better.. I’m ok with them never bringing it back

Not on the screen!

Face ID totally replaced it, if anything it should be both, with Touch ID being in the powerbutton

I think they should add it to the power button like the iPad Air 4/5 and the iPad 10th Gen. :)

It’s worth mentioning that touchID delivers false positives more often than faceID, it’s just less secure

There’s definitely an argument that having both world be ideal but Apple being Apple that would push the pricing higher. Personally I enjoy FaceID. Touch ID is convenient in bed when reaching over to look at something on phone on bedside table without having to properly pick it up as with Face ID you need to be looking straight(ish) at the screen and have attention. Also I’m using my Quest 3 with pass through and can use phone well like that but obvs FaceID won’t work so I’m back to code entry there.

Having had Android phones with top-notch fingerprint scanners and now a 15PM for a month, I prefer the fingerprint scanners. Face ID is fine too, and it’s only a slight preference, but I would prefer an iPhone with touch ID (as long as it was in a sensible place - Androids tend to have it on the back where your finger naturally falls when you hold the phone, no need to reach for the screen)

I had a phone with face unlock only during the pandemic and it was a pain when wearing a mask. Having both is essential, IMHO.

I want both. Touch ID is useful when not looking at the phone. Like when the phone is on the table

It’s gone.

I think face ID is better

They're providing the same solution and it's unlocking the phone... well how phone unclockimg beign developed in the last years i don't think a fingerprint would be neded. They both have pros and cons and i think we're doing well with the faceID as you can unlock the phone with wet or dirty finger...!

They already tried to move to solid state buttons, so if touch id is incorporated into power button with haptic feedback that would be a better implementation, without losing a lot of space inside under the screen.

Please no. Face ID is flawless

I used fingerprint Scanner in android phones for years but after switching to iPhone I don’t miss it at all

Touch id was so much better tbh. Face id doesn’t work most of the time for me

FaceId is leaps and bounds ahead of touchId and forever will be. One of the reasons why I wouldn't even consider Android phones is the lack of it. The reasons why I went with iPad Pro over any other model was the faceId, it's one of the best additions apple every made and I don't get how anyone who used it could think placing your finger in some spot to unlock your phone was ever better.

It’s would be great to have side mounted fingerprint scanner, they are better than underscreen ones

I am not against it on principle but I never ever missed Touch ID. I however miss Face ID on my iPad Mini having to touch the power button every time.

Apple really spoiled us out of nowhere with Face ID. Truly an example of a feature no one was asking for and we were content with just touch, but it’s so good it made even the awful notch worth it.

I can honestly say I miss 3D Touch more than I miss Touch ID. Does that mean they should bring that back?

One plus to TouchID is you can save 5 different fingers, so if you want multiple people to have access, it's pretty easy to do so.

Both my iPhone and family iPad are like that.

Have TouchID, but have it on the back of the phone. On display readers just aren't as convenient or as accurate.

It's always nice to have both. The pandemic showed us the shortcomings of FaceID when we use a mask. Having TouchID means we have another method of authentication that suits our needs.

The iPhone already has a big ass lock button, why not slap a fingerprint scanner on it. I could do with both Face ID and Touch ID. Just don’t use the glass coating on the scanner like on the iPad, the thing barely works.

TouchID is better than FaceID IMO. It only unlocks the phone if I want it to. If someone steals my phone, I don’t want it to unlock because I’m looking at the screen when they take it. It also works better in bright sunlight, or if the phone is close to your face e.g. when lying in bed

Face ID should remain the standard sensory unlock, but it would be a good idea to add an underneath the screen Touch ID sensory unlock feature. either have both or just Face ID in my opinion.

I personally don’t believe we need Touch ID anymore, I prefer Face ID

FaceID by far is so much better.

FaceID is more secure in theory. With TouchID, if you’re asleep, all someone has to do is place your finger on the sensor and they’re in your phone. FaceID needs open and moving eyes although some people look enough alike to fool it.
