  • Apple expected to replace Touch ID with two-step facial, fingerprint bio-recognition tech

    I really love Touch ID. For me, it works like magic. Unfortunately, some people (like, ahem, my parents) don't use it, because they tried to use it a few times when either their phone or their finger was wet or dirty, so it didn't work, and they got frustrated and never used it again. 

    To make it 100% perfect, Apple needs to find a way to make it work even when it's a little less clean. I don't mind wiping mine off once in a while, but some people just get flustered when things don't work, and assume it's the fault of some unsurmountable flaw in the device.
    Well then it has to go in he same direction as Qualcomm did with Sense ID. Sense ID is an ultrasonic scanner which are actually more accurate than capacitive scanners (which is what TouchID is) and is better when your finger is dirty or wet.

    2x is virtually useless anyways.  Digital zoom can do a decent 2x anyways.  They should have had the courage to do least 3x-4x.  
    Well it is technically possible. Corephotonics presented a 3x telephoto and wide angle dual camera array back in 2014. It was supposed to be in phones by mid 2016 but haven't seen it in any phone yet. Earlier this year they presented an updated version with 5x telephoto, so it's definitely possible. Maybe Apple just wanted to play it safe with this first version and will increase it next year.

  • Rumor: New iPhones with secure iris scanners coming in 2018

    By contrast, an iris scan done with a UV camera one one eye ,
    It's infrared light ;). UV light would damage the eyes. Infrared is perfectly safe though. This BTW is also the reason why they work perfectly in low light situations.

    Apple fighting the good fight against tracking cookies.  Once again differentiating themselves from greedy companies like Google who want all the private data they can get.
    Google is part of the coalition Apple joined you know.

    There's no secure enclave in the processors Android phones use.


    Yes there is. Apple's secure enclave is just Apple's implementation of ARM's Trustzone. Something high end Android phones have been using for a while now.
