Works fine, granted not as convenient as face ID but for an iPhone with decent specs(near same camera and cpu as an 11) for R3k isn’t bad. You can lose it and not have a heart attack.. can’t complain

Thats one thing that is amazing about iPhone, none of this Android OS update bs where barely old phones start not getting updates or very rarely at all and even then with many new basic features missing, the more budget phones completely missing the boat when it comes to updates and new software features. Right back to the iPhone 8 is still getting regular OS updates right along with the current iPhone 14 , granted some update features are hardware restricted but the majority are included, along with updated security patches.

I decided to start drinking instant coffee and I got rid of my Philips Airfryer and got a 11L Milex.

Thanks bro for helping me realise I can still make dumb and poor decisions some times, and that IT IS OKAY!

I would've started with the beard.

For sure, it’s just a very jarring experience to have to hold your finger all the time to authenticate things that are just transparent with FaceID.

Coming from Android it would feel like a serious step backwards.

Performance is fine sure, but user experience is greatly marred.

And I say this purely because I have an iPad with TouchID still in the mix and the entire usage experience is tarnished by it.

Can be more convenient in some cases. I kind of miss it. Having both would be ideal.

I wonder how many still have the [less secure] "Face ID with a mask" setting still enabled?

I'm done with Xiaomi. After this phone I am trying something else, but no ways I will spend 10K on a phone.

Getting tired of all the software bugs and issues with these wonderful devices and feels like with each update it is just getting worse.
