    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.

    Touch ID, definitely. Not giving up my SE3 for that reason; having the phone unlocked quickly and easily while I’m removing it from my pocket is so convenient. Why Apple can work it into the power button like they did with the iPad, I have no idea.

    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 prefer Face ID I recently switched from an iphone 7 to iphone 15 and I find it very convenient. Gives more space for a bigger screen while having the same size that fits in my palm.

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

    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.

    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

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

    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.
