Touch ID on the side button of the iPhone Duo: Is this a step backward compared to the trend?
Touch ID on the iPhone Duo might end up being frustrating for some users, based on media reviews that came out today. Multiple reviewers found Touch ID to be slow to unlock, which can be jarring coming from Face ID. According to Marques Brownlee, Apple added an intentional delay to "every single" Touch ID unlock. After you touch a finger to the side button to unlock, it pauses on the Lock Screen. If you keep your finger there, it continues to the Home Screen. It's technically smart.
