For example, when doing something which occupies one's hands (say riding a bicycle, perhaps a tandem as the "pusher") the combination of voice and face are quite handy.

How are those you using > face ID managing this? If you've put it on a stand (many inductive chargers around $20-$30), just rolling over and looking at it can suffice. Indeed, if you've left it in "requires attention mode" opening just one eye suffices! There's an apple video/commercial which featured that, and I was sure it was fake, but it works fine at my desk (my bedside charger is flat ... and since my cats like to play with vertical things, I'll probably keep it that way). https://youtu.be/1eQ6n9uZ8Ls is the commercial, sadly it is not very accessible. ....I even thought of > getting a sighted person to help me set it up in the detailed way it > wants, but is that even possible? > I would think so. Might take a try or two. Note that if you fail to unlock the phone enough times, it will require the passcode. I mention that, because being too close to the sleeping face might result in a lot of inadvertent unlock attempts. Some experimentation is probably necessary. Also, the face recognition gets better over time (viz, it will fail, you will use the passcode, it will learn that particular angle is OK)..I find some sunglasses work well, others not at all and some only after several manual unlock cycles. No doubt it's a combination of how opaque (perhaps polarization?) and shape. I've come to prefer it. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
