If I can't one handed text and not have to slide the phone up and down in my hand to text I don't want any such phone!

My two and coming up on 3 year old iPhone 8 suits me fine. It also has Touch ID, which is a better UX then Face ID (grab phone with primary text hand and boom it's unlocked before seeing your face).

I worry about this as my 6 is on its second battery and slowly dying. Apple Pay really needs to make the Express Transit feature - where confirmation is already "done" for your selected (read: default) card - available for all transaction types by default.

It doesn't solve the unlock delay, but it would make most other things people use FaceID for much quicker.
