  • Face ID on iPhone X is just as fast, if not faster, than Touch ID

    “Works most of the time.” That’s a phrase I’m reading in other reviews also. Well, “most of the time” isn’t good enough. It has to work EVERY time or people will simply abandon it. If you have to repeat the process a second time once in a while that’s going to be be a problem. But let's assume that the AI involved will learn and get better with time.
    TouchID fails all the time for me. Sweaty fingers, dirty screen, gloves in the winter (just doesn't work), I cut my thumb a few weeks ago and had to use my left hand for a week to unlock my phone. I can't wait for FaceID.

  • How Apple stockpiled iPhones to avoid tariffs and keep prices low for a while

    Very simple in concept: return production to the U.S., although hasn't been done for years. Remember the Fremont plant…
    It’s funny, anti-tariffs are all complaining and crying about high prices, dude open your brains, America had been ripped off for a long long time and we keep borrowing..we’re sinking fast. If Apple has to raise prices so be it. Will still gonna buy them.
    It appears you may have a misunderstanding of the goals and realities. Our trade deficit has nothing to do with Congress and the past four presidents' inability to balance a budget. If you want to pay more in taxes, you're welcome to play your part and cut a check directly to the IRS and skip Apple being the middle man.

  • First look: Hands-on with Apple's iPhone X

    Face ID was not some one off Plan B because they couldn't get the yields high enough on the OLED screens. This is intense programming that was years in the making (they tested Hollywood makeup and masks for heavens sake!). Just like Touch ID evolved (speed, accuracy, etc), Face ID will only get better and better.

    This one was definitely a bummer… It would be interesting to hear the reason. During the beta. It worked perfectly for me across four devices.
