  • Apple is still working on under-display optical Touch ID reader

    I was quite a fan of the ability to have my phone unlock as I was picking it up so that it would already be open by the time I laid eyes on it.

    Additionally, maybe this can pave the path for notchless iPhones.

    I mean Face ID is cool, but I would not miss it (I mean maybe I would miss Animoji) if the fingerprint scanner was put into the screen.




    WAIT WHAT?? You actually think Apple will remove FaceID?!!

    No. I think they’ll use both. And I think they’ll want a solution where you can put your finger anywhere on the screen. 

    They might even require a FaceID failure before allowing an attempt with a fingerprint. 

    It’s not like Apple to double up like this, but times are changing. 
    Seems dubious.  Apple were extolling the enhanced security of FaceId, so why would they compromise it by also allowing another, less secure method of authentication?  Alternatives mean there are alternative avenues of attack.  

    I think it's more likely that iPhones remain TouchId or FaceId, but not both.  Or if it's both, then you have to authenticate with both FaceId and TouchId to unlock the phone.  Though that seems user unfriendly, so I'd lean towards the first option, TouchId or FaceId but not both.
    He already gave you the reason. Face mask. I have to wear face mask every time I’m going out. This TouchID in addition to FaceID will be a boon, to me and to hundred of millions iPhone users in Asia.

  • YouTube TV hikes monthly subscription price to $65

    LOL what a joke. from 40 channels for a modest $35, to almost 100 channels at $65 -- exactly what people didn't want in the first place. More crap, bigger price. And a 30% single increase? Nuts!

    Google has lost the script.
    $6-8 per channel seems more appealing. 
    This is why I’m paying $5 a month on Arrow Channel on Apple TV. I like 70s 80s B-movies.

  • New York Times leaves Apple News over a lack of reader connection

    I’m not sure there is a martlet for news aggregators. I think people generally like to shop around and pick and choose their sources independently. 

    I know I certainly don’t need someone curating my news for me.
    Then you don’t understand News. It doesn’t curate news for you. You can choose any specific publications or topics you like and News will give that for you. Heck, you can even have News to be almost 100% Fox News. 
    Then why wouldn't I get Fox News and be even happier?!
    Start by searching for Fox News. Adds it (hit the plus icon). Reading only what is on Fox News. In no time your feed will be full of Fox News.

    I would like to know if it is possible to view video feeds from HSV cameras at home #2 on the TV at home #1
    If it’s HSV you should be able to since the video stored in your iCloud.
