Do you use Smart Lock to keep your phone unlocked with trusted locations and or trusted devices? I just started using it and it is nice to not have to keep entering my pin everytime. My fingerprint scanner can take a few tries so can get annoying.
 
Other: I have nothing to hide from anyone. What you see is what you get. Also I am flat broke so welcome to my credit if you're hacking my bank account
 
I have FaceID.

Don’t need some second rate “Smart” Lock thing, my phone already knows it’s me.
 
Ok...so after starting using it on my Samsung A52s it seems the feature is rather unreliable. After a hour or so it stops working. Searched on Google and it seems to be a bug. Not specific to Samsung. Seems it affects Android in general.
 
I have some sensitive docs on my phone, such as financial details/numbers will make some people green with jealousy, how much I make in month, etc. You'd be surprised with some people what they will do to milk money from you, those closest to you, even. That supposedly "long-lost" cousin suddenly on my doorstep? Tsek. So no, I don't trust Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked for convenience.

So your one of those Charlie’s in traffic with AirPods hanging out of your ears?

No, in traffic I would have CarPlay.

I use AirPods when on the motorcycle though, but can’t really use Siri anything above 60.

Don’t get me started on using AirPods with an Android.. Just yanking your chain, as you were.

I mean he did say Music so it only makes sense you’d have something in your ears.

Could use your Watch too if you didn’t have AirPods in and didn’t want to get to your phone in your pocket but I can’t see the use case.

But to be fair in reality I would have whipped out my phone in the whopping 2 seconds to do that before I even thought about talking to Siri.

Modern technology. It’s a marvel isn’t it.
