  • I can’t argue that having both wouldn’t be nice… But I if I had to choose only one, I’d give up FaceID in a heartbeat to have TouchID back in some form.

    When I ask daft Siri for directions while driving and she responds, “You’ll need to unlock your iPhone first, but I don’t advise doing that while you’re driving,” it’s very unsafe (and technically illegal in some states) to be forced to make direct eye contact with your phone… On my old iPhone 6s, I could place a finger on the home button while the phone remained in my pocket. I know CarPlay is probably the answer, but some of us just don’t have it in our vehicles.

    Considering this scenario, TouchID has probably saved a few lives, but I doubt FaceID has.
