Believe what you want. The biggest event, 10th anniversary, flagship announcement, rehearsed to death naturally - but yah, technically it all worked out ;-)

Your opinion is just that, your opinion, but how is FaceID a gimmick? It will change everything about secure authentication the same way TouchID did. It’s called progression. Every hands on video I’ve seen it is just as fast and IMO more convenient. The lock screen already offered two stages as of iOS 10. Locked and unlocked/ready to go to the home screen. For the reason of being able to actually view and respond to notifications without accidentally zipping past them directly into your home screen. It even inevertly brings back a feature many wished had never left. Which is “Swipe To Unlock”. Which will act as if your don’t even have any passcode or authentication active on the device. Because the moment you look at the screen it will unlock and be ready to swipe to home screen, seamlessly.

The industry and consumers demand more and more each year from companies to put in the devices. It’s a damned if they do damn if they don’t situation.

So an iPhone 8 is what you want then? You’re in luck, they offer pre orders for that currently and it will be available in 5 days.

There is one thing I agree with you on, and it is that your opinion is just your opinion.

You do realize this technology has been in other phones for years, right? It's called "finally catching up to the competition". Not very well though because while the flagship iPhone (not yet released) gives you facial recognition, the competition gives you the same, plus iris scanner and fingerprint scanner in one device. Do you guys not look at the industry as a whole?

You too man, you too. Keep that salty hate alive.

Why do people get so defensive of Apple when anyone dares to call them out and criticize them?

Apple does have good products, many of which I use daily. However their latest innovative features are found lacking.

Their designs might be "top notch" but they no longer are ahead of the competition, and in some cases they are clearly behind.

Their saving grace at the moment is their software (MacOS and iOS) whithout this they would be going nowhere fast.

Like it or not, Apple is not where it once was when it comes to hardware and software.

Yup, that's the only thing it can do.
