Hmmmmmmmm......
Weird that a bunch of class action lawsuits all across our great country didn’t spring up overnight against this particular battery issue, innit?

Couldn’t be happier to see Jay Z & Kanye’s little vanity project fail...
I remember when Kanye tried to “bully” Tim into purchasing this service, by a series of nasty tweets.

I just wish Sprint hadn’t got fleeced into purchasing this turd; giving the pompous investors actually a good return at their shareholder’s expense.

It’s a reasonable position that many people who use hi tech gear really don’t understand what is going on inside the device. It is reasonable for the Senator to have asked questions about security. Apple reiterated in pretty simple language how their systems work. I see no problem here.

Yeah, but he did ask some REALLY dumb questions that had already been answered...

For example... Phil showed a room full of REALLY creepy, highly realistic masks:

as he explained that they got master mask makers to make duplicates of faces, yet even these “best in the world” masks could NOT fool FaceID. Soooo.... why in the hell was question #4, “yeah, but can a mask or photo fool it?”.
For how well written his open letter was... had he spent 1/10 of the time instead seeing if he could easily answer his own questions, it could have been much more succinct & relevant.

This article & the earlier companion piece are INCREDIBLY well-written, informative, and interesting.

Just wanted to acknowledge good tech journalism in a landscape that seems to favor sensationalism & hyperbole.
kudos & thanks!

Is there some particular reason you couldn’t write an article to go along with this? I read a LOT faster than I can watch video, and I’m not always in a place where I can listen to it, rendering it useless to me.

Guys, too much work! Maybe they could 'Fax' it to you, also!

Vid's are the future not 'written' articles. Just say'n. No offense.

Get a larger iPhone and some AirPods....you won't regret it.

Lol, the “future” is watching 5 minutes of some amateur droning on and on, to receive about 17 seconds worth of written information that you could glean literally at a glance?? In your “future” everyone must have MUCH more spare time & patience.
Why did Vine fail while Twitter thrives, if no one wants words, only vids?
In your effort to sound all haughty, enlightened, and superior- sadly.... you instead come across as a pompous, deluded, self-aggrandizing know it all.

Just say’n. No offense.
