    Pixel 5 is the best phone ever made. It was small and light yet durable, and had a flawless rear fingerprint reader and a headphone jack.

      Recently switched from a 4a (literally what you just described – it even actually has an aux port) to an iPhone 13 Mini.

      The Mini is a better size. Better build. Better standby battery life. Better performance from the A15. No fingerprint unlock is a loss, but FaceID is… fine.

      I would kill for another Mini.

        I mean we’re getting into Apple vs. Android there and I will vehemently disagree with you on all accounts if you want to go there.

        The thing is made of glass, which is as fragile as can be, not to mention way too heavy.

        And FaceID is absolutely atrocious if you wear anything on your face, which I often do, like sunglasses and helmets, or if you’re laid on your face.

          Do we use the same software ? I can wear a neck gaiter, a beanie, glasses and faceid will still work (if the gaiter doesn’t cover my nose)

            How secure do you think faceID is when you can cover your entire face and still unlock your device?

        With FaceID you can wear gloves, which is very importantes to me. So it depends on the usecase
