My first thought when I heard that Apple were ditching fingerprints for face recognition was that the lag would be infuriating after getting used to picking up my phone and unlocking it as I did so. With the sensor on the back, it became a natural thing to do and meant my phone was ready and unlocked before I was looking at the screen.
They are describing face unlock working equivalently well, which would mitigate my concerns a lot.
The presumed lack of a headphone port is annoying though. I know it's an oft-stated thing, but still. I just wish anyone was offering a phone with a second USB-C port on top as an alternative. It'd be useful in other ways too.
My main issue with wireless headphones is that I swap between 3+ devices regularly and I have never found any good wireless headphones that handle that as well as just swapping a cable, as counter-intuitive as that is.
There was a time I said I'd never buy a phone without a physical keyboard (mostly solved by bigger screens and swiping virtual keyboards), and later a removable SD card (solved by storage size outpacing my storage needs—on a phone at least), so I assume this, too, shall pass.
