A modern smartphone should always have some sort of fingerprint sensor for authentication.

The 1/2 mask trick doesn’t work for you all? It works pretty well for me as long not using disposable mask

for me is normal disposable surgical mask most of the time around 70% can face unlock. don’t even need 1/2 mask. just slightly use my hand cover the mask area or something don’t even need to do anything it will face unlock liao.

but when using cloth type mask only once in a blue mood can get to face unlock.

Apple's target customer is anybody looking to get a smartphone heh. You're long overdue for an upgrade!

In this Covid era, any kind of fingerprint sensor would have been welcome. Pulling down your facemask to unlock your phone multiple times over the course of the day can't be much fun...I have no idea how X and 11 users have been managing but I guess I'll find out this weekend when I get my 12p. A sensor built into the power button isn't even new tech, Sony's Xperias have had it since 2015. I recall using it on my old XZ Premium and it worked flawlessly.

Haha yes long overdue. Was waiting for the next design iteration following the X series since 11 was last of it's kind, so will probably be upgrading to the current 12 series.

I can only guess, Apple is going for the under screen fingerprint reader technology. Read somewhere they got some sort of patent going on.

I mean register alt Face ID using 1/2 mask

I'm guessing when the pandemic hit, it was too late to incorporate TouchID into iP12 without massive delays, and potentially missing the 2020 year-end shopping season....

Oh well....I read some online leaks TouchID will be back for the 2021 edition so I guess that's that

True. Same situation for 120Hz ProMotion too I suppose.

But too early for 2021 leaks already la even if have also hard to confirm, don't pin hopes on it

I think the TouchID and 120Hz leaks are credible for 2021 edition, but we'll see....

Ya, it works best with cloth mask. Disposable mask use hand cover the mask

I go outside your house wait

There not be Touch ID on the power button on the top end iPhones. That’s for sure. Apple will only implement in-screen Touch ID but only if they can achieve performance and quality of Apple standard while also making sure yield can meet the volume.

Disagree with this statement. Why would Apple wants to implement something not as secured as Face ID?

I wait for tear down then I share .... a lot ppl don’t know yet bro



Very big for you bro.
I changed from X > XS Max (really bad upgrade)
XS Max > iPhone 11 Pro Max (Super big upgrade)

You jump from x > 12 sure very big for you!



I agree with you, they are blurring the lines between the normal 12 and the 12 pro series. Really good choice regardless of which you choose to go with.

My upgrade path was like you,

Why you’d say X to XS Max was bad upgrade?

Because I loved my X enough that I actually went to do the battery replacement, thinking that I can use 1 more year. Then my mum’s contract was due. She asked me if I wanted any phone. Then I reluctantly upgraded. XS Max improvement not much compared to X, other than the screen BB size. I was quite sad over the upgrading as I don’t see much improvements. When I changed from XS Max to iPhone 11 Pro Max, oh boy, I think it’s the best iPhone I’ve ever used.
