iOS as simple as that

I use mine to skip music

I have never noticed that and I almost only use swipe type. Literally used it to type this reply and noticed no lag

I almost exclusively use swipe type. Is so much faster. After you get use to it rarely make mistakes unless I pause mid swipe

Touch ID on the power button would be great just like the iPad Air I think it’s on

Me currently using a $17 CAD spigen case and have been using spigen cases forever now almost 10 years
