This might be naive, but would you recommend being on iOS Beta to get security patches earlier? Also do you prefer Touch ID or password/passcode unlocking?

Personally, I would avoid Touch ID. In my opinion, a good security feature should work even when you are asleep or unconscious.

TouchID has the issue that a law enforcement can make you unlock your phone. In short cops can get your fingerprints, which is on you, but not compel you to say or do something.
