    Really disappointed that they got rid of Touch ID completely. I prefer using a fingerprint to unlock my phone over having it unlock, whether I like it or not, every time I pick it up and it sees my face. Sometimes I just want to see what time it is. If it unlocks every time, then it becomes a slight hinderance, in my opinion.

    • Did yours ever work 100% (or even like 75%) of the time monospaced? I never had great luck with it and now it's "dust in the wind" technology...

    • yes, Touch ID works 90% of the time. only issue was when finger was wet ... not really understanding the downvotes here either, it's just an opinionmonospaced
    • ^ same. the only time it didn't work was when finger was wet. otherwise I like it and prefer to just check notifications without unlocking the phoneGnash
    • You're doing it wrong. Looking at it doesn't unlock it and go to the home screen you have to initiate the swipe up. If you just wan to look at time just tap it.ArmandoEstrada
    • I like the touch id thing very much. works on my macbook too. How's the face recognition with beards?Morning_star
    • I'm in the habit of my thumb landing on the touch id as i pull my phone from my pocket. face id can't do that. :(imbecile
    • @Armando, thanks. I'm not doing anything wrong, btw, since I don't use an iPhone with Face recognition. Requiring a swipe ALSO is a hinderance.monospaced
    • Great news then: you don't have to upgrade your phone, your iPhone 6 still does the job.raf

    • SE is newer than 6. In fairness, 5s is doing great on iOS 12.raf
    • I’m on the 8. It’s not even a year old yet.monospaced
    • But when I am ready to upgrade in a year or so, I know there won’t be Touch ID.monospaced
    • I'm not even ready to say good bye to the headphone jack.raf
    • The headphone thing is so annoying. Plus, the new macs need a DONGLE to connect the flagship iPhone, or their own lightning headphones. Makes no sense.monospaced
