Which Apple iPhone as you,Eric obviously stated
incorrectly as there wasn't an iPhone7S, so I'm
presuming you meant either the iPhone6S or
iPhone7+ or quite possibly the recently introduced iPhoneXS

Yep. Dependence on technology that only works
some of the time can be a real headache. Oh, and
Face ID can’t contend with a totally blind
person the right way (it’s that stupid
attention filter). Still, having a passcode is still the old fallback.
Btw, I run an iPhone 7S here. I don’t have the
funds to upgrade any further and if the phone
ceases to be of use, I will end up buying a
tracphone at the local Walmart for about $50.
Then I can port over my number and call it good.
Sure, the iPhone has a lot of neat features, a
very secure (mostly) App Store and all of that,
but it’s way too pricey to continue upgrading.

cursing when I was standing there in the cold

out the good old key and of course fingerprint
doorlocks have all but disappeared.

in my other message, it only works well if your
little fingers don't see a lot of manual labour.
