that’s a valid stance. i’m glad it works for you with the combo of both. i prefer just face ID so i’m okay with the oval. i don’t find it intrusive anyway. whatever works for each person. sorry you’re being downvoted. i think it previously seemed like you didn’t understand the difference. i thought that but i see that’s not true. i’ll upvote to even out lol

I don't really get it. Don't most people use cases anyway?

People on the iphone sub go crazy over dumb shit like this. Youll see people talk about trading in their phones just because of specific colors.

Oh, so weird how I can all of a sudden view your profile again. Anyway, I hope the lesson on how to Google was helpful to a "tech savvy" person such as yourself. Seems a basic lesson but I'm willing to offer it for free

I guess if I were an iOS user I'd be used to that, but in 13 years I've literally never once had to Google for a walk through on how to find a such a trivial parameter with Android, because they usually are put right where you'd expect them to be.
>Litterally that simple.
You know what's literally simpler?
-
not requiring a password input for free apps by default on the Appstore
-
putting an AppStore setting parameter in the Appstore settings menu, not somewhere completely unrelated
-
not arbitrarily moving the toggle to a new sub-menu everytime the OS is updated.

I did? News to me. Maybe you should learn how to use your iOS device.

The only reason I'd use fingerprint over FaceID is if I'm wearing a mask, but those days are behind us and FaceID also works with a mask anyway because it's able to
Fingerprint scanners don't work with my touch-friendly gloves that I do still wear, though

theres no way to troubleshoot, cuz unless your fucking stupid, theres no way to actually fuck it up. Ive seen like 5 examples of actually messing it up, not the users fault.
To send files, you use google. Or airdrop, Or text. Nope, definitely not multiple ways to do things, lmfao.

They’re trying to convince people to buy an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max instead of a regular 14 because the 14 Pros are the only ones with dynamic island. It’s a question of which iPhone, not iPhone vs Android

Yup, dumbed down, and since there's only one way to do things, there's no way to troubleshoot.
When I'm having an issue with Android, since there's multiple ways to do things, I can usually maneuver around it.

I certainly hope not, though someone is trying to convince me that the dynamic island is worth it because it lets you login with your face ID in the dark... like ok, you do you, but that's a ridiculous reason to claim it's worth the loss in screen real-estate.

So you're just ignoring the fact that you can have both face id and finger id at the same time, like I already mentioned? I've never had to turn on any lights or anything silly like that to login to my phone with a biometric in the dark.
Like OK, if you ONLY want to rely on logging in with your face, then yeah I guess an iPhone might be your best bet, but I know I'm far from alone in preferring to have both face and touch id settings active.
If my phone ever failed to log me in with my face or finger, then I might maybe understand why one would opt for the oval, but as things stand, it just makes no sense to me.

Sometimes I get amazed when I wake up in the middle of the night to pick up my phone and it unlocks automatically with FaceID for me. Would definitely much prefer the convenience than a few more pixels in that area

I mean yeah, it’s lipstick on a pig. But literally no one is choosing an iPhone over android because of the dynamic island.

>Wanted to share some files over Bluetooth between my Android and iPad, but the iPad couldn't do it.
Use any other third party app. Becuase apparently anroid users are alright with downloading third party software for fixes. Apple users just use airdrop, text, or google cloud.
If thats your contasnt experience, would hate to see you use android lmao. Apple makes some of the most dumbed down settings, and everything for user experience, if you cant figure it out, thats pretty sad.

Then use a mac emulator. https://github.com/topics/apple exists.
