What feature is removed from the latest iPhones compared to the iPhone 6 plus, except for the 3.5mm port?

  For me the annoying one is the loss of TouchID. I find it a convenient system and I'm not super keen on the use of FaceID as a replacement. My hope is that now other phones have introduced touch sensors under their screens, that Apple will add that back in.

    I don't think that is going to happen. FaceId is so good on my X, I forget I have phone locking turned on at all. Now that they have it working in all orientations on the iPad, I assume the next iPhone will also work that way. Supposedly the iPad also unlocks in a wider field of view. Both of those items are the main complaints I see about FaceId. After using FaceId for over a year, going back to TouchId really does feel like a step backward anytime I have to use it on test devices or my iPad.

    Doesn't seem likely, but expect FaceID to get faster and more reliable. The recent version of TouchID was much better than when it was first introduced.

Apple could have been first to support an in-screen fingerprint reader but stopped development when FaceID was greenlit. It's doubtful they would follow others in including a redundant, inferior technology (their perception).

      >It's doubtful they would follow others in including a redundant, inferior technology (their perception). They said 4 inch was the perfect screen size. And now? They shunned wireless charging, dual sim, multi-tasking and many other things. Give it time. Apple will soon invent in-display finger print.

  Can anyone think of what features were removed from the iphone from the original one to the 6?
