Apple discontinues (Product)Red iPhone 7, ups iPad Pro pricing
I can recall... they raised the RAM prices on the Mac ll and Mac llx prices mid cycle. To avoid the increase I bought 16k of RAM for $899... wooee, what a steal!mazda 3s said:I can’t recall the last time that Apple actually RAISED prices, mid-cycle. That just seems rather odd for Apple.

Rumor: Apple intends to replace Touch ID fingerprint scanner with advanced facial recognit...
Facial recognition that picks up the bloodflow patters of the face is already developed and used... dark glasses and even wearing a nylon stocking over your face can't fool it... a beard is no problem either... can't be fooled by a photograph...anton zuykov said:Apple will not "replace" Touch ID with facial recognition.
That is just virtually not possible, due to it being prone to problems, the touch id lacks.
At the worst case, they might ADD it to the existing touch id tech, but replacing it would just be like shooting your own arm, because sleeves of your shirt need holes for ventilation.
I mean, come on, how would you use facial recognition in the darkness? IR diodes? Ok, fine, but you would have to turn your phone toward your face precisely, so that the camera array can "see" your face. That is real convenient! What happens when your phone has happened to register someone else's face (by accident). Would it consider it to be false attempt or would it just ignore it?
There is just too many ways this could go wrong, while offering no discernible benefit over the existing touch ID auth tech.

Further delves into the leaked iOS 11 'gold master' reveal Face ID setup animation
Everyone stand and face the front of the room....SpamSandwich said:I still can't believe they went with Face ID... Touch ID isn't called "Finger ID" fer cryin' out loud.
They could've called it Look ID, Smile ID, Me ID or something else. "Face" isn't an action.

Beyond Rosetta 2 for Intel apps, 'Apple Silicon' Macs will run iPhone, iPad apps natively
What does Apple mean when they say, “ expects the overall transition to ARM will complete in about two years.”
Are they meaning that all apps will be native, or that they will have it figured out in two years?

Apple's Tim Millet talks A14 Bionic, machine learning in new interview
Superman has confounded them all by merely slipping on a pair of dark-rimmed glasses... a perfect disguise!tht said:
Wow, it's true, Batman's mask truly does hide his identity. All this time, I was wondering how people simply couldn't recognize him by his mouth and eyes.Lastly, Tim Millet took the time to address the issue of Face ID's incompatibility with coronavirus-limiting facial coverings. He says that while Apple could, in theory, make Face ID while you're wearing a mask, it likely wouldn't. By covering your face, you're removing the data the iPhone uses to confirm it's actually you -- and by doing so, the odds Face ID could be compromised increase.
