That AI chip that runs 600 billion instructions per second - is that just for FaceID or can it be programmed?
600 billion Apple instructions, who knows how that converts to useful numerical work.

#292So...wait, wasn't one of the biggest selling points of the (awful) Touch Bar on the latest MBP that it could use Touch ID? And a few months later they are moving away from that entirely?
Reportedly, they couldn't get it to work through the display (bezel-less) (and they didn't put it on the back)
Re: iPhone X
#293I've accepted that the headphone jack is never coming back no matter how much I'd like it to. I still can't accept that a company that is so focused on design has accepted the ever-growing camera protrusion in order to make the phone "thinner". My 6s has a scuffed camera ring, and rattles when used on a table, due to its inability to lay flat.
I guess they've also have accepted that people are going to use a cover anyway, so they don't bother.

Exactly. This was my first impression when I saw that protruded camera on iPhone 6.

What does this in disclaimer section means?

#295$1320 CAD + tax for a phone. MacBook Air is cheaper than this.
edit: meant CAD.

It was $999.

#297Face ID just failed in the on-stage demo. Oops :(.
The phone had just been rebooted. That's why it asked for a passcode.
Re: iPhone X
#298I don’t see anything justifying the price bump.
Re: iPhone X
#299Face ID. I'd swear this was satire if I wasn't watching it with my own eyes.
Windows says hello. I imagine in an non-fixed setting like an mobile phone, trying to peek at your phone while not drawing attention to it (meeting or otherwise) will probably be somewhat of a challenge
I find I type my PIN faster than Windows Hello works, more often than not, and yeah it is easier to surreptitiously punch a pin under a table than bring your phone to face distance.
Re: iPhone X
#300Are 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?
