Siri can have different voices but she(?) is still called "Siri".
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.
Both is fine with me. FaceID is great for any time you've got gloves on. I wish they had an external version of it, e.g. an apple keyboard with touchID or support for generic webcams for FaceID so it'd work when docked, etc.

How so? Please be as specific as you can. I know both cis [0] and trans women who have beards, and while it's definitely nonconforming to Western standards, it is merely part of the incredible diversity and variation in human biology. [0] Yes, cis women with beards exist. Many cis women feel dysphoric about any facial hair they may have, of course, but (just like with trans people) exceptions exist and not everyone i…
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.
When the hell is Apple going to finally allow push notifications for the web?
I hard disable the permission to ask me for push notification permissions on every browser I can, because under no circumstances do I want a website to send me a push notification. Ever.

That was their claim, however my observation is that it just takes longer to fail before offering "swipe up to get the passcode interface". I have to waste many seconds of staring at my phone just to have the privilege of swiping up to spin the passcode interface display slot machine. You know what would work? Just showing the passcode interface as soon as the screen turns on.
> That was their claim, however my observation is that it just takes longer to fail before offering "swipe up to get the passcode interface" If I have a mask on, swiping up immediately brings up the pass code screen. In this case immediately is <0.5 secs.
Everyone is missing the point. This is the start of a major battle between two tech juggernauts. One look at the Facebook ads manager will show you Facebook is very scared about this privacy update and trying to do everything in their power to mitigate it. Apple is the gatekeeper and Facebook can't do anything about it. Their dominant revenue stream is about to be strangled. I think Zuckerberg realizes he is screwed…
>Apple is the gatekeeper and Facebook can't do anything about it. Antitrust. As much as I applaud Apple here- isn't this just more proof they they abuse their position?

Why? Some women, especially in certain cultures, do indeed have beards. It takes nothing away from people who won't use that emoji, but it lets them be represented while giving others another optional emoji to use.
Culture isn't going to lead to women magically sprouting beards. It may make the small percentage of women with facial hair not shave it off, but most women of whatever culture you're talking about(Sikh I presume) aren't going to have a beard because they can't grow one in the first place. Somewhat related, but this thread made me look into it - and it seems a huge oversight that there isn't a "pregnant man" emoji -…

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.
Lol @ your attempt to shame me. It doesn't work because I regret nothing, and apologize for nothing. It's not illegal to seek feedback about self from others. It's not illegal to be tall, young, male, english speaking. And most of all, it's not illegal to think a woman with a beard emoji is ridiculous.
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.
