Hi David, Just curious, what is a Windows convertible?
Face ID seemed good in theory, but in practice, it drives me crazy. With Touch ID, when picking up my phone or getting it out of my purse, I could have it unlocked by the time I had it in front of me. With touch ID I can't even start the unlock process till it's in front of my face, and then, at least several times daily it takes multiple tries to get it unlocked. I suppose if one had the fingerprint sensor as an alternative, that would be OK, but it doesn't sound like that's even going to happen.
