iPhone 13 May Revive Touch ID

&gt; Although Apple has not included Touch ID on a flagship iPhone since the iPhone 7<p>I’m confused. My iPhone 8 doesn’t have facial recognition and it makes me put in my passcode when my hands are wet after doing the dishes, but unlocks on touch otherwise. Am I misunderstanding some very specific tech branding thing that I missed?

I‘m sticking with my iPhone 6.<p>I like to listen to podcasts for falling asleep, while charging it. And simply connect it to my 20 year old Hifi system. I fail to see why using a y dongle for connecting a headphone plus the charging cable would make my life better.<p>I like the form factor, too. I guess the only other choice would be an iphone SE.<p>I once spend a few bucks on a new battery. Otherwise, it is a perfectly fine phone, used (too) many hours a day by me for years and it‘s still almost pristine. It just works. I don‘t see why one should throw it on a dumpster. If it was a bit faster and had a bit more memory it would be the perfect phone.<p>But if they come with an upgrade, have a headphone jack would be the killer feature.

I am surprised the article does not mention it, but IMO a key reason to reintroduce touch sensor is to facilitate unlocking while wearing a mask, as it looks that this may not change either as a requirement or a social norm for quite some time.

In the meantime, I&#x27;m back to using 4 digit pin on my iPhone 12 pro.<p>I tend to dislike features that increase difficulty when &quot;texting under the table during class&quot;. For example removing physical keyboard, the face must be seen to unlock, and predictive input babysitting.
