Not difficult to figure out how it works. It will involve your face one way or another. I prefer to use my thumb, more convenient. But hey the tech world decided bezels are evil so this is where we’re at.
I don't think that's fair. It's not the "tech world", it's more the "people who post on tech message boards and news sites world" that decided bezels were bad. If you ask me, they're actually quite useful for some things. Like having somewhere to hold your phone.
Without having used it, I'm not overly excited by face recognition. I haven't seen how it's going to work in the situations I use TouchID for my phone. Particularly Apple Pay. If anyone can sort out the inherent problems with it, it's Apple, but I'm thinking TouchID isn't likely to go away soon.
Actually it was "tech world" who created so much buzz/noise when Xiaomi showcased the Mi Mix last year. With that amount of noise, Samsung/LG AND Apple all decided to join the bandwagon almost at the same time, though their release cycles are different. So here we are in 2017 with LG G6, Samsung S8/S8+ already less bezel phones, with iPhone Pro set to join them. Sony & HTC will most likely join this group next year.
Apple is really an unpredictable company. They introduce Touch ID with the iPhone line up and incorporate it with Apple Pay. Apple then introduces it with the Macbook Pro line up. Now they are going to eliminate it like the headphone jack was summarily eliminated in iPhone 7. Apple appears to have no apparent vision on what technology they want to use in their products. Why should anybody buy an Apple product? They have no consideration on how these changes will effect their customers. Apple keeps making lame excuses (such as room for the battery and/or waterproofing in the iPhone 7), always raising prices on these products. The customers have to absorb the cost of Apple's tech changes with things like dongles and bluetooth headphones. Apple claims they are future minded. Not so! They just do not have the midas touch anymore. I am really disappointed with Apple lack of innovation. They are just money hungry. This iPhone 8 will probably sell like hotcakes because of the following Apple seems to have. Apple is the piped piper and the customer are the rats. Sorry, that is how I see it.
you might be on the wrong forum then.
I doubt they will get rid of the technology. If it is not visible ( i.e on the back) then it is probably integrated into the phone.
And how the fck are we going to use the Apple Pay without ToucH ID ? You bring your iPhone close to NFC POS and lean your face over the damn phone? That would be fcking ridiculous!

You mean there's a difference?
