I'm positive that Apple won't pull a Microsoft stunt where they'll acquire something and toss it to trash later on. But yes I would like for the Touch ID sensor to remain on the front. Facial recognition can be easily defeated with a selfie unless it's a 3D sensing camera like what Microsoft used in their Surface PCs for Windows Hello authentication. If they can't really make the Touch ID at front, the back side is probably where they'll put it. ?

I find fingerprint sensors are better on the back. That way when you pick it up (at almost any angle), and it then rests in your hand, you middle and index fingers naturally rest on it and by the time your looking at your phone (if its fast enough  mine is not quite), it will be unlocked and ready to use. IMO Its especially bad to have it on the front with large phones (and especially with phones with cases....) cause then you need to shift the phone down in your hand to have it usable unless you have really large hands.

If you place your phone face up, then it can be annoying -- especially if you just want to check something (or turn on the screen for that matter) without picking up the phone. 

 

I do have large hands, and so I like to keep my pinky wrapped under the phone (where the charger is) to support it as I use it one-handed, so that naturally places my thumb in easy reach of the front TouchID.

And thats the problem with phones.  Everyone has different ways with their phones.
