Hello Portia, Happy Early Birthday, to you. Your mom and grandma sound like very nice people who love you very much.
As it has been quite some time since I last posted to the group, I thought I would chime in on this thread. 1. I use both iPhone 8 Plus and iPHone 11 on a daily basis. I am not a fan of Face ID; however I acknowledge that many people love the feature. I use the Attention Aware option, which makes iPhone 11 more secure. 2. I love having a Home button. While I use iPhone 11 daily, my experience seems slower because of a lack of a Home button. Just my experience, only. 3. I recently purchased an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Smartphone with an in-display sonic Touch ID sensor Home button. I absolutely love, love, love it!!!!!!!!!! I think it is one of the most amazing pieces of technology I have ever encountered. Simply stated, the sonic Touch ID acts just like a legacy home button without having to reserve any of the actual device’s hardware real estate. It just works. As I have absolutely no intention of starting any kind of debate between those who prefer Samsung hardware to those who prefer Apple, I will say that I truly hope that Apple will implement an in-screen / in-display Touch ID sensor on the next hardware release of iPhone. However, as to your question, I would always choose an 8 Plus over the S E because, unless I am mistaken, the 8 Plus has a larger display than the S E; screen size is extremely important to me. If you are not concerned with display size, then, assuming you cannot wait until the next release of iPhone in order to see if it does or does not have a Touch ID sensor, the S E sounds like a winner, to me. Again, Happy Birthday and know that whichever device you get, it will be well worth the money.

Hi all, My mother is thinking of having my grandma give me Amazon gift cards towards an iPhone 8 for my birthday next month, as well as helping to fund it herself. Does anyone still use one? I cannot afford one of the phones with Face ID, and could hardly get my old iPhone X to recognize my face half the time, hence why I gave it back to T-Mobile about a year and a half ago, or maybe it was two years… lol. But anyway, between the iPhone SE 2, and the iPhone 8, which one would you guys recommend? As I said, I am looking for something with Touch ID. Not just cause of not getting it to unlock hardly. That is part of it, but the other reason, is I have Cerebral Palsy in my whole right side and so having something with Touch ID would be easier for me. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
