Hi Mark and Aul, Mark, thanks for your review and comments on iOS 14. Is that will be purchasing new iPhones from my wife and I when they become available, I am not gonna upgrade my current model. I do have a couple of questions, however. Will I be using face recognition on the iPhone 12? I’m guessing I would be. Are there any resources or books that you were anybody can recommend as I prepare to go from the 8+ to the iPhone 12. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Best regards, Les
