That’s… awkward (alien.top)

I guess apple forgot that the iPhone SE doesn’t have Face ID… or maybe it’s a sign of a future iPhone SE with Face ID?!

Context: it’s an iPhone SE (2022, 3rd gen). Initiating name drop while the phone is locked results in the prompt asking for authentication, which is Face ID on basically all iPhones but the SE, yet it seems Apple forgot about that and the message for authentication still asks for Face ID, which the iPhone SE models don’t have.

I have never yet gotten this function to work. Maybe it’s not available in my country or some weird thing idk

    Just put your thumb on the button and try to unlock that way.

    From someone that works in software. Not a release stopper bug. SE users probably account for single digit percentage of iOS users. Maybe even 1%
