Re: iPhone X
#283Are they aware that "Surgical‑grade stainless steel" means extremely cheap? Surgical‑grade stainless steel is designed to be single-use. They advertise their phone as having steel that is good enough to use once?
Aren't surgery tools supposed to last years of use?

#284Projector-based 3D face recognition. Nifty. Shines an IR dot pattern onto the face, recognizes with that, works in the dark. Seems on continuously, wonder how much power draw.
Re: iPhone X
#285FaceID seems pretty impressive, if it works as advertised, and it sounds like they've thought of a lot of edge cases. I can't get over the black bar at the top of iPhone X though. It looks like it has devil horns...
You got all of that from a press event? reallY?
Yes…they mentioned the tests they put it through. Different hairstyles, facial hair, etc. and it worked; they tried pictures and masks and made sure it didn't.
Re: iPhone X
#286Wouldn't Face ID allow a stolen phone to be easily unlocked? Just put the stolen phone in a different container (with a hole for the camera/sensors) and point it at the victim.
My daughter likes to "steal" my phone to play games on it. With touch ID, she can't. She wouldn't have a problem if the phone has Face ID.

#287I wasn't really excited about AI and ML until I saw this iPhone X and the stuff they were doing with the Animojis and the Facial Recognition Tech. Whew! I may have to study AI/ML

An Apple version of the Galaxy S8 that can't be hacked?
Re: iPhone X
#289Face ID just failed in the on-stage demo. Oops :(.
No it didn't the phone was already in the "please enter a passcode" phase, most likely due to a reboot.
Re: iPhone X
#290I unlock my phone in my pocket with Touch ID all the time - ready to go and on the home screen by the time I've flipped it around in my hand. Feels like a straight downgrade in usability. also, some engineer at apple had to continuously grow a beard to test this
I think speed of the facial recognition will make or break this. If it takes less than 500ms of me staring at it to unlock it could feel fluid enough. Any longer and it'll be annoying every time.
TouchID always takes a "slightly-perceptible" amount of time to work, so any improvement over that would be fine with me.
