    I prefer the touch ID. It doesn’t require me to hold my phone up to my face all the time, whether I’ve washed my face or not, in the light or in the dark.

    I’m not even sure if Face ID is constantly collecting my facial data, it’s terrible.

    It’s always nice to have both. The pandemic showed us the shortcomings of FaceID when we use a mask. Having TouchID means we have another method of authentication that suits our needs.

    The iPhone already has a big ass lock button, why not slap a fingerprint scanner on it. I could do with both Face ID and Touch ID. Just don’t use the glass coating on the scanner like on the iPad, the thing barely works.

    98% of the times the phone gets unlocked seamlessly with Face ID, i think that is a feature that you will not use

    If it’s either or, no brainer - Face ID. Logging in to websites and apps, paying with Apple Pay, it’s just so much better and seamless. I wouldn’t mind having both but truthfully I don’t really care about it. Face ID works fine for me 99.9% of the time. The only instances it’s kinda iffy is when the phone is on a table and even that is getting much better with every generation.

    Apple kind of “foreshadowed” that in-display fingerprint scanner will never a thing with iOS 16 where they moved the notifications to the bottom side of the screen.

    Unless it’s a new form of snappier and more reliable Touch ID, I think I’ll prefer FaceID. Even with Samsung’s slightly more secure Ultrasonic reader, it’s accuracy and usability is impeded when you have a screen protector on. So if it’s between an optical fingerprint scanner and FaceID, then I’d choose FaceID. UNLESS, Apple decides to be nice and add a fingerprint scanner onto the Lock button

    I’d want the Face ID to be kept but add fingerprint at the back of the phone like some Samsungs

    I love FaceID, and when I tried to use Pixel as a secondary phone, I started loving FaceID on iPhone even more.

    The only benefit I see of Touch ID is that I can also add my SO’s fingerprint for easy access.
