I just had two failed Face ID authentications to log on to this forum and had to type in my passcode. That’s become the new norm. I miss Touch ID.
After the hype people realized that the X is not a great phone. It’s good, but it’s not great. Apple charged $250 extra to provide a solution for a problem that didn’t exist.

[eye roll] I just FaceID'd onto my phone with my gloves on, while riding my bike, so bite me.

The second coming of Jobs was underway in late 1996, shortly before AI got going, but otherwise points well taken.

This is easily handled. The US government simply passes a law requiring the owners of devices that employ encryption to provide the government with their passwords. Enforcement of the law is not Apple's job. 

Clearly, you have no understanding of the 5th Amendment.

Reminds me of ‘VW defeat device scandal’.

The end result was a performance loss and a certain amount of money back.

Both Apple and VW only acted after getting caught. If not they would have both continued without the consumer's knowledge.

Bullsh*t apples and oranges. VW's scheme was designed to evade the law. Apple's was designed to make its phones more reliable. They should have been more open about it but that doesn't change the basic difference in motive. And good on Apple to be more open now and to make battery replacement a reasonable cost.

As we used to joke in the System 7 days, Quality is Job 1.1.1!
