By “removed” do you mean “occluded”?
If you have access to the screen but not to the sensor array, you can use a passcode. This is obviously very difficult to do when the phone’s in your pocket, so that’s a very small regression in usability there, but that seems like an extreme edge case.
- mgleason_3 9y agoPretty sure I mean removed - at least on the iPhone X. "The full edge-to-edge screen means no more home button. No more home button means no more Touch ID" >> extreme edge case OK, maybe. Though I think TouchID has become so quick and natural that we forget it's even happening. For me it's almost automatic as I pull it from my pocket. Maybe FaceID will get to that point also. But I think I'm safe in predicting, at least in the beginning, memes of people looking with zombie like stares at their phones trying to get them to unlock.
