    I have a couple year old iPad Pro. The fingerprint reader works half to two thirds of the time. At least once a day it fails enough I have to enter my passcode. That’s not counting when I have water, or dust, or lotion on my hands and it just refuses to recognize my finger at all.  FaceID on my 11 though is just flawless. So sure if they want to put the fingerprint reader under the screen that’s fine. I’m sure some people will jump at it. I’m going to stick to FaceID.
    I agree. I don't quite understand why anyone would want Touch ID at this point. Face ID will only get better. And I would guess it'll be on the iMac soon enough too. It seems really silly to be investing in touch ID phone tech at this point. WHat's next, floppy disks for 'small file, portable storage.'?
    Masks. That is the only reason I personally would like the option again. I love Face ID as well, but with masks it gets a bit annoying. I have commented here before that I think the fingerprint sensor in the power button like the iPad Air would be perfect.With raise to wake it could be almost seamless to open your phone as you rest your thumb on the power button while wearing a mask.

    I have never used the newest iPad air so I honestly don't know how well it works.. @DAalseth made some valid points.. when I was using the 10.5 iPad pro I was in the habit of wiping the fingerprint reader multiple times a day just to avoid the failure that was almost inevitable from oils on my hand, or moisture or whatever else if I didn't keep it clean.

  • Ear cushions not included with AirPods Max warranty replacements

    I find this incredibly hard it believe. 

    You would have to be completely guileless to buy this product.
    Why?  I have had Airpods Pro replaced 2x under warranty. They replaced what was faulty.. the Airpods themselves. There was no issue with the wireless charging case?  Why would they replace that?

  • Apple Car could be made in the US by Hyundai in 2024

    I hate that it’s Hyundai honestly. 
    Why? Samsung makes OLED screens to Apple's specifications. That has turned out just fine.. B)

    Why would you think that Hyundai would be any different? Apple didn't ask Hyundai to design and build a vehicle for them.. they will task Hyundai, or whatever company they decide to go with to build cars that they have designed from top to bottom precisely how they want it..period.

    Is there ANY honest organization that can oversee the net?
    No. 

    The internet is, by and large, fine the way it is. If you have problem with it, read books. 

    ISIS agrees.
    So ISIS or any cult's way of recruiting is solely through the internet?   How did these things exist prior to the internet or Facebook? I agree the internet is pretty much ok the way it is. If people are going to buy into propaganda, extremism or violent rhetoric they are going to with or without the internet.

    Does Trump realize he and his followers would be immediately banned from Twitter if this were enacted? Nah, this is the same guy who said to inject bleach to cure Covid (the "hoax"). Not too bright. The day he is escorted out of the White House can't come fast enough.
    I was surprised to see Biden ask for the same thing months ago..  Although I think he more wants to take exemptions away from certain entities like FB, rather than repeal the whole law at this point in time.

    “The idea that it’s a tech company is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one. For Zuckerberg and other platforms,” Biden said. “It should be revoked because it is not merely an internet company. It is propagating falsehoods they know to be false.”


    Section 230 hangs in the balance after attacks from Biden and Trump
