Personally, I find it's indicative of how poorly designed the iPhone is
that it needs to be so securely locked down to the point that it is.
It's as if Apple knows iOS is the most exploited mobile OS in the world.

"According to Bloomberg, Apple was initially going to give the new
iPhone on-cell touch sensors, but pivoted to an in-cell option,
similar to the current iPhone. An in-cell screen builds the touch
sensors directly into the display, while an on-cell adds a layer on top,
creating a thicker end product, which can be more noticeable
in folding phones where its display creases."
For years we were told Touch ID was inferior to Face ID. Why would they
equip a modern phone with a technically flawed security feature?

1. Where were you ever "told Touch ID was inferior to Face ID". Let's
see the quotes.
2. "inferior" doesn't mean "TECHNICALLY flawed". Face ID could be
considered superior merely for an increase in ease of use.
You're becoming as inherently dishonest as Arlen.
No, you're being dishonest as usual. We had many conversations about
this and people like the "expert" nospam told us repeatedly Touch ID was inferior because it could be duplicated. I don't even remember you then
so I don't know what you said.
