Just one anecdote, but I've reliably used fingerprint unlocking since the iPhone 5S all the way up until a few days ago when I switched to an iPhone 13 mini. Facetime doesn't actually feel more convenient to me.
Oh - I thought I was going to be providing you with one counter-example, but I've just thought of something which means I'll have to switch to agreeing with you. When it's raining and my fingers are even slightly wet, it's all over for fingerprint unlocking for me.
- mft_ 2y agoYou misunderstood; the previous poster was talking about in-screen fingerprint sensors, not those found in older and SE iPhones.
- red369 2y agoI'm late seeing your reply, but thanks for pointing that out. I did miss that when replying. And also, thanks for not making me feel stupid for not reading more carefully! HN is better than most of the web for giving benefit of the doubt, etc. but still... thanks.
- CrimsonRain 2y agothe non-screen finger print ones are quite good except during rain or if you are wearing gloves. I wish iphones came with both faceid and a finger print on side button.
