But All I Wanted was Touch ID

2020-10-14 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone, Well, I was wrong. I truly thought that Apple would include a fingerprint sensor on at least one of its devices in the iPhone 12 series. I watched the entire presentation and could not help thinking, at its conclusion, "But all I wanted was Touch ID." I am so disappointed.

I will tell you that the 10R is the most solid phone I've ever owned all around. So if you want a larger screen than what the SE has to offer, don't throw in the towel until you take a good look at this phone. Battery life is awesome, and it's only $499. On 10/14/2020 8:30 PM, M. Taylor

Hi Mark, Thanks for posting this but Jefferson Graham got at least one of his facts incorrect. About pricing, he says "The iPhone 12 doesn't sound that steep at $799. But if you decide to spring for extra storage and Apple Care, as many do, that will bring it to $1,298." The cost of an iPhone
