The iPhone 13 is shaping up to offer some radical new changes from Apple, including a model with no ports or holes at all. And now a new survey suggests a belated upgrade in the age of facemask wearing.

As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple recently sent a survey to some of its customers asking a series of questions. One of them concerned Face ID and Touch ID.

The survey asked if users were satisfied with Face ID. For users who answered "no," the survey included some follow-up answers to share with Apple. These include "security and privacy concerns," "I don't like having to pick up my phone to use Face ID," "It doesn't detect my face in all situations," and "I prefer Touch ID."

The last response speaks to rumors that Apple may bring back Touch ID in the iPhone 13. This could be done either by integrating a fingerprint sensor into the display or by embedding a scanner in the power button. Apple did the latter for the new iPad Air 4 and it worked really well.

Even though the COVID-19 vaccine will be available soon, health experts recommend wearing face masks in public for the time being. Also, it is annoying to have to punch in a passcode every time you want to use your cell phone when you are out and about.

In what may be bad news for iPhone shoppers, Apple's survey also asks if current owners use the various items included in the box. These include Apple stickers, a SIM removal tool, and a USB-C to Lightning cable.

Apple has already faced backlash this fall for not including a charger with the iPhone 12. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will unplug the charging cable (so to speak) in the next model.

Then again, at least one model of the iPhone 13 is rumored to be ported. In that case, the USB-C-Lightning cable would be pointless. A 20W power adapter would add another $19. In other words, the portless iPhone 13 could be the only phone in the box.
