Isn’t the 2016 SE still useful as a phone?
Probably, I just happen to have owned the 16GB model that is now impractical for me, since iOS itself takes half of it. Replaced it for my daily carrying, but kept it around since it's so nice.

I just fixed it by turning off FaceID. Apple reached phone perfection with the iPhone 4; they reached access perfection with touchID. Things have gotten worse since then.
I hate TouchID, never works when my fingers are sweaty or I'm cooking or anything like that. FaceID is perfect.
FaceID has been quite good other than the masks issue. I just wish Apple would allow a grace period for rechecking auth.
Sorry for the shameless plug, but for those without an Apple Watch I've made a program [0] that implements the Unlock Mac with Bluetooth for any other device, including Android phones, Android Wear or Tizen watches or even some ear plugs.

Clicked allow updates.
Crashes every time I open. Displays check for updates screen, then immediately crashes.
They integrated the "Waze-esque" feature into Apple Maps. Even Apple is getting their users to snitch on the PD. Siri is about to be the #1 public enemy of the traffic cops lol
Good. If municipalities want to raise revenue from my driving, then they should either raise taxes or implement tolls, not implement speed traps designed to trick people from out of town.
Touch ID is an entirely superior technology and Apple is profoundly stupid for removing it. It doesn't have to be in the screen, just put it on the back. The lengths they'll go to offset the removal of Touch ID are astounding, from IR face tracking, to degraded biometric security, and now to requiring an Apple Watch to unlock the phone with your mask on. Talk about a Rube Goldberg machine.
Cooking with TouchID is an exercise in frustration.
Ideally I'd like them to be able to combine auth mechanisms but we can't have everything.
Not mentioned in the press release but this update also brings a new version of Safari (and WebView). Anyone knows if Safari in 14.5 is equivalent to a specific Technology Preview release? https://developer.apple.com/safari/technology-preview/releas...
I would have more respect for Apple if they just came out and said it, but the fact they haven't mentioned it at all, is just cowardly.

Because literally not _every single group on earth_ needs to be represented. It's an emoji pack... I don't need it for it to be exponentially more difficult to find ones I'm looking for because now we need every single permutation of race x facial hair x gender x skin color x marriage pair x favorite cereal.
You're wealthy, tall, young, male, English-speaking programmer who posts about how they are "constantly called the smartest person people know", whining that other people being represented by emojis is inconvenient to you so it shouldn't be allowed. That should cause some embarassment and self-reflection.

About half of the times i unlock my phone is when it is resting on the table. Fingerprint scanner on the back requires picking it up first, which is extremely uncomfortable to do every time. No. Just no.
I agree, but for a different reason. Today's phones are stupidly fragile and pretty much everyone puts some sort of case on them. I don't get this obsession from phone makers to make increasingly thinner devices, when a large number of end users just put an ugly case on it. Why not make them rugged to begin with?
When the hell is Apple going to finally allow push notifications for the web?
Consider that users don't want notifications. I turn this off on other devices and I'm sure many others also do so.
If not, then I applaud you. If you do, but keep notifications off, that's kinda respectable too.
But I'm guessing you do get a notification when you get a new text message, chat message or email.
Why should only native apps, that go through a dictatorship approval process from Apple, be allowed to send you notifications.
Of course, you should always be able to say "No" to a site or app sending you notifications. This is the case on Android, as could be the case on Apple.
Progress Web Apps are opening up the potential for developers to spend less time on the *worst* development platforms (xcode and android studio), and more time on their product.
That being said, it would be cool if an app could not "force" notifications to be allowed. Like, you could choose "Allow", "Deny" or "Hide" which would trick the app into thinking you had allowed notifications, but then just not show them.
It would stop bad advert behaviour. Although, on Android, I have never seen this be abused (yet).
