Which iMac Pro configuration is right for you?
32 should be fine for most people. You'd know if you need more, and wouldn't be here asking.

Comparison: iPhone X vs. Galaxy Note 8 biometrics
"A study conducted in 2013, examined the effects of infrared radiation (IR) on the eyes using 15 New Zealand rabbits.sdw2001 said:
I don't think there is evidence that it is "harmful." Since it's not using infrared (right?) I don't see how it could be harming anything. It might just be that people look more directly at it or hold it closely. That can cause eye strain. It's unlikely the scanning itself.Rayz2016 said:Why, in the name of God, would you include iris scanning if you knew it was harmful?
Because enzyme activity decreasing more with time spent exposed to IR, the team had concluded that the technology does have the ability to cause corneal opacity, burns on the retina, breakdown of blood-aqueous barrier and delayed cataract."

Apple's $4,999 all-in-one iMac Pro launches Thursday, Dec. 14
Since it's probably expensive ECC ram, some users would try to throw in some cheap ram and complain to Apple when it has issues or doesn't work. Then they'll try to get a new iMac Pro with their warranty.rogifan_new said:Still blows my mind that this is a pro machine but you can’t get inside of it. I can understand most of Apple’s portable products being sealed but professional workstations? Why? Even the 27” iMac allows upgrades to the RAM.

Sorry, this is a transcript of the video. Makes a lot more sense while watching. Apologies for the unclear article. The first part is about Iris scanning. Then Face Recognition later.chasm said:This article provides a helpful comparison, but would be far more useful if it were better edited. Early on, it says “both phones work perfectly fine in the dark” with regards to face scanning, but later on it says “We tried both phones in the dark, and the Note 8 would not unlock.” Early in the article, it says “I tried to fool both systems with a photo of my face, and neither would unlock after multiple attempts.” Later on: “I tried to fool the Note 8’s recognition with a photo of my face, and I actually got it to work.” The two contradictory examples can’t both be true, so which is it? That said, all the other qualifiers for the Note 8 (iris scanning hurts eyes, can be unlocked by others when you are asleep, is quite particular about conditions before it works reliably, fingerprint scanning in an unweildy place, and so on) make it clear only a fool would trust it, or think it is the equal of Face ID. Once again — like with Microsoft and tablets, and Android phones generally with OLED — the first to market is often superseded by those who take their time and get it really right instead of just a gimmick, and (astonishingly) that continues to be Apple nine times out of 10.

Apple's AirPods a smash hit, shipments could reach 28M in 2018
Yes, I don't believe they would refresh or upgrade the internals for some time, as it would make all the current owners feel like they have an inferior set of earbuds. Of course the wireless charging case is a perfect upgrade since it's not required, only increases convenience and helps justify their AirPower wireless charging pad. Heck, they could even throw in the case for free, or at a discount.ninjai said:there will be a refresh, the wireless charging case.
