I trust Apple likely did better, though they’ve made bad decisions before (Studio Display camera). My biggest worry is the lack of Face ID. I love Face ID so much. I know I can do the Apple Watch unlock, but I don’t want to. I just want my phone to immediately look unlocked to me. and Face ID did that the vast majority of the time. So I’m very curious to hear what the hands-on impressions from people are. Is the screen good? Can you notice or feel the crease? Is there anything else wrong? Is not having Face ID as annoying as I suspect? At least there’s something really interesting this year. It’s more than just faster and better cameras, which is nice. And having actual aperture blades on the pro is great. But this is more interesting.

I'm okay with the lack of face ID. Fingerprint unlock power button works perfectly well for me. Did they mention MagSafe? I'm not sure if they mentioned MagSafe for the iPhone Duo. That could be a deal breaker.

      I hadn’t even thought about that. I don’t think I could do a phone without MagSafe again.

  FWIW (and this is not directed to you specifically but anyone reading this) the police can use biometrics to compel you to open your phone without a warrant, but they cannot force you to give up your passcode. https://www.zdnet.com/article/biometrics-vs-passcodes-what-lawyers-say-if-youre-worried-about-warrantless-phone-searches/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/biometrics-vs-passcodes-what-l...

    This is partly why iPhones have a feature to disable biometric unlock by holding the lock + volume button (same gesture as emergency mode).

  Doesn't fingerprint mean that someone could knock you unconscious and unlock it with your finger? I don't know if I'd install my bank apps here.

    That's possible, but unlock doesn't work after death.

TBF they never should have removed touch id. It's bonkers that we can't have both with phones that expensive.
