How many times are they going to post the same news again and again? This was known before the X release, after it's release and so on.
Thank god, im very happy with the Iris scanner and FPS on my S9![]()
seriously... does this matter that much? S9 has Face Unlock (I think S8 even did but not as secure). Most people will see Android phones have Face unlock and not really care about the tech behind each phone maker's version.
It's not a mutually exclusive proposition. They can hypothetically work to improve Face ID and work on Touch ID under the screen. It simply becomes another choice for consumers. For the truly security conscious (read paranoid) it could be used as some type of next level 2FA TouchFace Retina Pro ID. I'm kidding of course.Wouldn't Apple improving Face ID to work at more extreme angles be the solution here?
I agree. I bought an iPhone 8 just simply to stay up to date. The new and expensive features really don't benefit me much at all.Face recognition is the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

PTwo things:
1.Feel warm. Uh Bruce, stop peeing in the pool. Not cool.
2.After a swim from my trunks. So you're peeing in the pool & skinny dipping? Alrighty then.
That sentence would have been a lot less funny if you had written it like this:
I've lost count of the amount of times I pull my phone from my trunks after a swim...
What I haven't seen in Android land is a mandate and secure standard for storing fingerprints and possibly FaceID, analogous to the 'Secure Enclave' that Apple has, without this security standard the fingerprint security in Android is almost no security.I haven't used an android phone in probably a year. Does "TouchID" actually work well on them now?
That probably is a classic definition of Luddite mentality, analogous to - horse carriages worked, why build cars.Face recognition is the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

When I first got the X, I thought similarly - that it would be nice to have FaceID work at more extreme angles, but the reality is, you can't really use your iPhone when it's at some extreme angle. I think that many of us got used to pulling our iPhone out of our pocket, touching the TouchID button in one seamless move, so that when the phone is in the position where you can look at it, it's already on the home screen. With the current iPhone X, it requires a swipe-up gesture to get to the home screen, which is slightly more labor and time intensive to do than just touching a finger to the home button. I too would be interested in making it possible to skip the swipe up gesture - but I do understand why Apple didn't enable it.
Too much information.snip...I’ve lost count of the amount of times I pull out my phone after a swim from my trunks and ..... feel warm...
I disagree. FaceID makes interaction with the iPhone seamless in the same way that early iPhones without security protections were. You pick up or look at your iPhone X (when you get a notification) and it unlocks. And switching from TouchID eliminated the need for a touch button on the face of the iPhone, freeing up screen space, which was and is another problem FaceID solved. The fact that no matter what device you're using, facial recognition and unlock is such a perfect way to interact, because you don't have to move a finger into a certain position, which like all of the Android phones that have a touch sensor on the back middle of the device requires an un-natural finger movement, effectively with only your pointer finger working (further limiting it's usefulness). All you have to do is look at your device, which we're clearly doing as part of our natural use of the device - it's really a brilliant solution to multiple problems.

That isn't saying much, FaceId isn't very impressive. It's amazing how often it misses if you aren't looking at it straight on.
Now, bring on the masses of "but it works fine for me 100% of the time REEEEE"
