[NFBCS] purchasing a new IPHONE should I get one with or without a home button

As a low vision user, I am thinking about the iPhone SE. I do not know if I want to be bothered with typing in a password every time I have to use my phone with a mask, which is common.

My eyes are also constantly moving, so I don’t know how well it would work. Probably I will have to turn attention awareness off.

There is the difference in the home button vs face ID, but also enhanced image descriptions in iOS 14 will be better on the 10s and up because of additional chip capability.  I've not tested out a comparison between models to know if that alone makes a compelling reason to suggest people opt for the higher end models.

You can effectively use either.  I use my iPhone seven when I am out walking my service animal as I can easily stop and put bookmarks in an Audible book.  This is because the touch id can be easily activated while face id can't work with my mask on.

Should I get the Green IPHONE 11 Pro Max 512 gigabyte  model without a physical home button or an IPHONE SE2020 that has a physical home button? Which one would be most recommended to purchase. I want too know which phone is easier to use as a totally blind IPHONE user. Please let me know.
