Not only is TouchID considered more secure, but it’s also more convenient than FaceID, making it a must-have for the iPhone 13.
Don't Use Face ID: Why a Passcode is More Secure
Rumors have it that TouchID could be making a return to Apple’s smartphone lineup with the iPhone 13, bringing back a sought-after feature to the device. While FaceID has proven to be simple to use, concerns over its security, plus the added convenience TouchID offers users, have left many wanting to see the biometric system make a return.
“Apple's decision to remove fingerprint authentication was primarily based on form factor,” Ray Walsh, a privacy expert at Pro Privacy, told Lifewire in an email.
"The company preferred not to put a fingerprint scanner in the frame or on the back, and for that reason it ditched TouchID in favor of FaceID. However, it appears that Apple has now developed in-screen fingerprint sensors that are fast enough to make them usable on the iPhone 13."
