iPhones are not made for people who work outside for a living. They are far too fragile and temperamental.
The NYPD is going to be pissed less than two years from now when all these iPhone 7s are throttled "for the their benefit".
Ya' know, 'cause the batteries go bad on iPhones for people who actually use them often. And the are people sitting in offices in California know what is good for police officers in New York City. And somehow those distant people have control over those phones whether is the perceived age of the battery or one of the many of the required updates.
Unfortunately I’ve never really owned an iPhone, but I sure hate that Apple is successful.

Just kidding, I haven’t had a ticket in a loooong time. But police could do some cool things on the Apple platform.
They (the county) once sent my registration to my old address. Paying it immediately would have been cool, no wasting hours in line getting it renewed...
How about evidence gathering? Filming the sobriety test, checking gun ownership, criminal record, etc. I sure they have some of this already but I’m all for increasing efficiency.
I have a friend, a retired police chief from Washington state, trying to pull together an app to walk beat cops through crime scene photography and crime scene recording and visual evidence gathering. Any software develops present who might want to work with him on that project? I think it could be an important addition.
I'd assume that cost plays a big role. They may also want Touch ID over Face ID. Perhaps even have enterprise apps that they are designed around authenticating with a fingerprint at this time.

Fake outrage. Gotta love it.
Apple Watch would have been a far better decision. One that is more practical and has all the benefits the department wants but in a smaller package that is far less tempormental.

I've been wearing an Apple Watch for just under 3 years and I have a cellular Series 3 Watch now so I can work toward not bring my iPhone with me as much, and I say without a shadow of a doubt that there's no way that the Apple Watch could be the primary device for law enforcement.

Maybe if you want to play "Dick Tracy." For anything else, a bigger screen and an on-screen keyboard is 100x better.

You have no idea what it's like to need information as a police officer and should quit while you're way behind.
A Watch would be a good addition to their new iPhones so as not to have to dig it out unnecessarily. But instead of? Are you high?
RMPs are usually operated by two officers so there's no distracted driving. It also sounds like NYPD may using an app or apps particular to their work. And I'd bet the iPhone could easily compete with ease of use with an MDT's OS not to mention physical operation. And as previously mentioned, not every cop works out of an RMP.
This is no one, perfect solution. But having as many viable options as possible makes things much better for both sides of the badge.
"will be able to access 911 dispatches, perform criminal background
checks, access criminal histories when responding to calls, view video
and surveillance photos, and fill out beat reports."
Strange, Since all of those functions will be primarily done while sitting in a car or desk, I would think a Mac or iPad with their larger screens (and keyboards) would do a better job than an iPhone.
Or, thinking futuristicly, awhile back somebody showed a mock-up of an iPhone being used to drive a keyboard & screen -- sort of a laptop where the iPhone provides the motherboard, CPU, GPU, storage, memory and communications...
NYPD walk foot patrols. The iPhone is just the right mobile tool.
I didn't know that. That's great! We need that everywhere...

Yes, boboroo, you're right. The billion plus people who have an iPhone never take them outside, and they are all extremely gentle with their iPhones. LOL. How much does it hurt to be an Apple hater, spending all your spare time on a site for Apple fans, only to find out that even after trying to gin up a "scandal" over the battery throttling issue, most people understood it to be a commonsense benefit and it was still the best selling phone IN THE WORLD? And in the US, it reached an all time market share record of 44% of smart phones, AFTER your phony battery scandal. Sorry, I shouldn't rub it in.

1) You get a timeframe to pay a ticket and you may want to dispute it. However, ApplePay Cash will be usable for bribes. /s
2) I like that I live in a state where I can register it online. I forget if I can use a CC to do it, or if I need to use a bank routing number. If not for that I'd use a AAA location instead of going anywhere near the DMV (but that might not be available in all states).
How could it be used for bribes? Surely the phone and AppleID would be linked and controlled by the NYPD, not the cop him/herself? Any payment would go to NYPD. Cash in hand could be a bribe and that's been around forever.
Thanks for breaking down a joke and taking all of the fun out of it.
My friends and I refer to this as "Jay Lenoing" a joke.

Or they can just get the battery serviced when necessary. I know that doesn't fit your Fight Clubby "The phone you own ends up owning you" narrative but whatever.

Jamie looks happy.
Worst troll post ever?
