    I prefer the touch ID. It doesn’t require me to hold my phone up to my face all the time, whether I’ve washed my face or not, in the light or in the dark.

    I’m not even sure if Face ID is constantly collecting my facial data, it’s terrible.

    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.

    Unless it’s a new form of snappier and more reliable Touch ID, I think I’ll prefer FaceID. Even with Samsung’s slightly more secure Ultrasonic reader, it’s accuracy and usability is impeded when you have a screen protector on. So if it’s between an optical fingerprint scanner and FaceID, then I’d choose FaceID. UNLESS, Apple decides to be nice and add a fingerprint scanner onto the Lock button

    If it’s either or, no brainer - Face ID. Logging in to websites and apps, paying with Apple Pay, it’s just so much better and seamless. I wouldn’t mind having both but truthfully I don’t really care about it. Face ID works fine for me 99.9% of the time. The only instances it’s kinda iffy is when the phone is on a table and even that is getting much better with every generation.

    When I had an iPhone 12 the Face ID was slow and unreliable, and I wanted touch back. I just got the 15 and it’s quick and seamless, no need for Touch ID imo

    Do hashtags do anything on Reddit? Lol /s

    I don’t need Touch ID. I don’t want it. If others do, let them have it, but allow me to disable it.

    98% of the times the phone gets unlocked seamlessly with Face ID, i think that is a feature that you will not use

    Apple kind of “foreshadowed” that in-display fingerprint scanner will never a thing with iOS 16 where they moved the notifications to the bottom side of the screen.

    I’d want the Face ID to be kept but add fingerprint at the back of the phone like some Samsungs
