Hi, Everyone, I guess to each his/her own! I personally like the larger phone and have a 7+. When I have to type a long message, I use a Bluetooth keyboard, and sometimes I dictate as well. When I first bought my 7+, I wasn't sure how I would handle the larger screen, but I really like it.

one thing to consider is the new Back Tap feature. If you have a newer phone without a home button, you could get the Back Tap double and triple taps to activate the home screen and bring up the app switcher. This would be a way around for anyone who has anxiety with the lack of a home button.

I don’t think there has to be a lot of light in the room for face ID. I say that because I can use it if I am in bed at night with no lights on, at least none that I’m aware of, in the bedroom. So if it’s dark at night, and there are no lights, then I guess that must mean Face ID doesn’t need
