100%. I once bought a refurbed iPhone with broken FaceID and I absolutely sent it back.

FaceID is honestly one of the best features on an iPhone. There’s nothing else as good out there that I’m aware of.

Last years pro is better than this years standard model. That’s been the case for several years.

I’ve turned it on several time but always shut it back off. I just find it distracting, it doesn’t add value to me and I don’t like the parasitic battery drain. Maybe I’ll come around eventually.

Agree, the 14 pro/pro max is better than the regular 15. Better panel with pro motion and better camera hardware. If you look for a deal you should be able to pick one up for the same or less than the equivalent size 15 and I’d recommend trying.
