Hopefully the iPhone 12 resolved this and brings back touchid. I have a feeling I’ll be forced to wear a mask the rest of the year at least.
Apparently, Apple is already addressing this, this is from the beta of iOS 13.5

Got the SE 2020 also but still have my 11PM to use at home. Once we don't need masks anymore I will switch the SIM and keep the SE for backup.I’ve sold my iPhone 11 Pro and bought a new iphone SE. couldn’t be happier. Mask wearing is the new norm here and I suspect it will be for a while.
Not comfortable to key in PIN for opening the phone lock or bank apps. Touch ID is the way to go, for now.
Not from any reliable sources.There are definitely rumors of the 12 pro having it.
It's a real shame that some locales are stipulating the wearing of masks when out. If you're healthy, the WHO only recommends that you wear a mask if you're treating someone with COVID, at which point you shouldn't be handling a phone anyway.

Otherwise wearing a mask creates plastic waste and depletes the stock of PPE for those who actually need them.
I'll stick with my iPhone 8 for another year I think!
If you were out and about and contracted the virus, you could spread it freely for over a week before having symptoms. If you wore a mask during that time, it’s less likely you would spread it to others. If we all wear masks in public, we’re protecting each other.
Can't believe people are selling 11 pro phones for a SE, mask or no mask.
You are thinking about the unlocking. Apple thinks about the security, that is not allowing anyone other than you to unlock the iPhone. That's even more important. I'm sure someone would find a way to unlock your phone. For example, I take your phone out of your pocket and the watch authenticates it, while _I_ am holding it in your hand, not you.Like the topic says... Face ID sucks in pandemic when wearing masks is advised.
I've been thinking, could Apple make use of an Apple Watch as a method of authenticating an iPhone?
For example, say you put on your watch, and you can authenticate the watch by FaceID while unmasked, at home, wherever it's safe.
For those of us who aren't regularly going shopping in busy supermarkets or huddling together on public transport, its not an issue. I haven't got an iPhone with FaceID yet as I am still using an 8+, but I can't see it being an issue later this year.I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy any brand new iPhone that has FaceID since masks are going to be with us for a long time to come

Yes I don't get the selling or trading either. I just bought it to use while out, but I still have my PM to use at home on Wi-FI and to swap the SIM back into once masks are over.Can't believe people are selling 11 pro phones for a SE, mask or no mask.

And Apple made a change where when you look at your phone the phone decides _immediately_ that there is a person with a mask that cannot be recognised, and puts up the passcode immediately, so it's much faster now.

I purposely bought one a few weeks ago. It’s really not that big of a deal to put in your passcode. It literally takes 2 seconds.I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy any brand new iPhone that has FaceID since masks are going to be with us for a long time to come
