The premise still holds. Just because you don’t... Folks are still using their nose and whatever else tickles their fancy. And yes, people have and do use the body part you're eluding to. A friend confided in me that his girlfriend at the time (it didn't last) for kicks used his eleventh digit as her special touch ID. Talk about TMI. Some things you'd just rather not know about others. Again, it's all good. the point is we have options. Tomato Tommato. Cristóbal

I'm sure using my nose will be very reliable and since baring my chest in the winter to use a nipple or taking off my boots to try a toe doesn't seem exactly practical I think I'll stick with Face Id. Oh, sorry, forgot the cat's paw, but then again since I think cats don't have any use except for catching mice on a farm I think I won’t buy one for that purpose and I think my lab's paw is too rough and big for the home button of the SE. There is of course one more male body part which I am surprised wasn't even mentioned in the article, but once again, I'll keep it where it's warm in the winter and I also don't want to get arrested for public exposure. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cristóbal Muñoz Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2022 2:41 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Iphone 11 verses se2020 phones Well there you go. The beauty of options right? Different strokes for different folks. Then again, you can use more than just your fingers for touch ID. People do use their nose so they don't have to take off their gloves in colder environs. Then you get the more ... adventurous types that use even more body parts for touch ID. https://9to5mac.com/2013/09/21/touch-id-on-iphone-5s-can-be-used-with-more-than-just-your-fingers/ Cristóbal -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2022 11:07 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Iphone 11 verses se2020 phones For me Touch Id was always much less reliable than Face Id, but then again I live in northern British Columbia where first of all you have to wear gloves for at least 5 months out of the year and I also do stuff with my hands, gardening in the summer and woodworking more or less often year-round and when my fingers are full of scratches and cuts or covered in glue Touch Id is just not a good option whereas Face Id seems to be at least 95% or more reliable for me. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cristóbal Muñoz Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2022 10:47 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Iphone 11 verses se2020 phones I needed a second iPhone with dual sim capability and didn't want to shell out big bucks for one of the higher end iPhones. I poked around and came across some renewed SE 2020 64 GB iPhones on Amazon for $195. I figured I had Amazon's return policy in case there was anything wrong with the phone or if it showed up looking too rough. I don't know what made it "renewed," but it's working perfectly fine. My sighted wife says she didn't notice any scratches or knicks either. The battery's at 95% too. Hate is such a strong word. I mean, other than size and touch ID instead of face ID with a few extra features thrown in on the newer phones, they're all more or less the same. I mean the camera sure, but how good of a camera do you need for OCR? If anything, the SE 2020 is reminding me how much I miss touch ID whenever I have to annoyingly punch in my passcode on my XR when face ID doesn't work for the millionth time.

As Richard said, the iPhone 11 is mostly the same as the SE 2020 inside, it has I believe a slightly better camera and no home button, but apart from that and its larger size it would be similar in performance. Usually at this stage with only less than 2 months to go until the new iPhones are released I highly recommend people don't buy new phones unless they lost their phone or it was stolen or totally broke and they need a new phone immediately. It is entirely possible that most iPhone 13 models will be discontinued once the iPhone 14 comes out in September, but even if you are most likely not going to opt for the latest and most expensive phone, the deals on any existing phone will most likely only get better as September comes around. -----Original Message----- From: 'Louana Sterling' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2022 9:03 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Iphone 11 verses se2020 phones Hello all, if I bought a iPhone 11 would I be going backwards from the se2020? I have the 2020 but I hate it and I can get the 11 for 299 and don’t know if that is a good idea.
