Thumb print vs face

I have had this iPhone 12 Pro for nearly a year and certain features are notably not improvements from my 8s. They are much worse.

I much preferred the thumb print to the Face ID. With glasses and contact lenses and a myriad of other issues, the Face ID is annoying. The thumb print or finger print is was much better.

Please bring that feature back or have it as an option.

They cannot just bring it back on existing FaceID devices. Those devices do not have the fingerprint scanning hardware necessary for touchID.


No FaceID capable device has a fingerprint scanner, and no touchID device has a FaceID camera. I would imagine including both hardware devices in an iPhone would make the phone substantially more expensive.
