Absolutely agreed with this. I’ve been using the Vision Pro for nearly a year and I am constantly needing to use my iPhone when in the headset (yes, most things are easier and faster to do through a grainy video feed of my iPhone’s screen than in visionOS itself). It’s a pain every time since I need to wait for Face ID to fail and then key in my passcode. I’m open to other solutions to make this experience better, but Touch ID as a second biometric option on the phone would do the trick.
