Samsung has had face detection for years now. They are so ahead of the game, so I'm sure Samsung users have been able to unlock apps and use Samsung pay with their face detection technologies? Right??
Got a tip for us?

You’re really scraping for arguments to disparage against the HomePod. Let alone other products like Sonos also leave marks on wood as well. That’s a non-issue. Also, Siri works surprisingly very well the HomePod with the microphone sensitivity and controls. I’m assuming you have no experience with the HomePod.
Scraping for arguments? All the above is common knowledge by now.
Ruining your furniture is a non issue? That's grand. I don't have a Sonos, and my Zeppelin Wireless sure as hell doesn't leave a mark.
I would have wanted a HomePod for my bedroom, and possibly expand it through the house with a second unit, but given all the tradeoffs it's a waste of money indeed.
PS. Try asking "surprisingly well" Siri to set a second timer. Go on.
Just so you’re aware, there’s a huge difference between Samsung‘s facial recognition and Apples. Samsung uses 2-D facial recognition, where Apple uses 3-D facial mapping. 3-D facial mapping is much more secure than Samsung’s 2-D security method, which can also be hacked by a photo.
Would be awesome to try in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium etc. But it seems Apple doesn’t deem us important enough.
*They* had Apple Pay for a brief few hours, seems like Apple blocked it.
*Belgium excluded AFAIK.
I posted it to my Facebook timeline. Several Android users commented. They understood that Apple Pay allows you to pay with a glance. It shows exactly that in the ad before he goes on a supernatural shopping spree with his face.
Non Apple heads might miss subtle things like the double clicking side button but everybody else can see a credit card on the screen, with a Face ID label that gets authenticated when he looks at it.
The ad then ends with the slogan: Apple Pay on iPhone X. Pay with a glance.
It’s also not easier than just double-clicking the crown on your watch. You don’t have to unlock that at all, since it’s unlocked as long as it stays on your wrist.
Agreed. You don't have to work in advertising to understand these ads.

Love it. Actually chuckled at the bit where they cut to the parent saying, "Hi, honey, I love y—" and the Back to the Future Zemeckis homage was ****ing amazing:

Yes, and any photo of you would be enough to approve your purchase, FaceID is years ahead of what Samsung was doing...
Edit: Also, you have to the /s if you are using sarcasm on the this site, it is too hard to tell with all the haters here.
I foresee personal financial troubles if it were this easy, lol.

Apple may not be first, but they wait around and get it right.
Wait, that's probably for some different issue. Sorry.
It's not that interesting. Unlike US cards, EU credit cards already have NFC. Only the Americans find it amazing that they can tap their phones instead of swiping. I have witnessed maybe 1 person here in Canada use Apple pay. Everyone else just taps their cards.
Exactly, apple pay here ineurope is not such a miracle, we are tapping cards using nfc for years...
It's stylized, cut for time, kinda tired of having to explain something that should be obvious since the ... 1980s when this kind of quick cutting emerged.
I'm sure you can actually take care of yourself and not purchase everything in the store if you can't afford it. Apple doesn't sell personal responsibility, it's all on you.

blah blah blah blah, go buy and Android phone and give it a god damn rest cause this whole shtick is getting real old.

The fact that bozohead in charge kinda forgets that Apple extracts a lot of value from chinese customers and the BOM is only a small part of the phone and manufacturing even less (so most of the value is on the US side already) means sack of turd in chief just shot Apple and the US economy in the balls for no good reason.
The whole economy will suffer now and a recession within a year is highly probable (considering there hasn't been one since 2008, it's even more probable).

It depends on the god damn furniture and its finish, most living finish will be affected by anything you put on it.
You know that and spout complete nonsense. You put it on that kind of surfaces, you got a mark. that's it.
Got the homepod and put it on many wooden surfaces that are sealed without any issue.
You mean to tell me that IBM wasn’t actually a giant face projected onto a screen?!
Meanwhile, I've seen Apple/Google Pay used somewhat often in the UK. You don't need to have NFC-free cards to understand the benefits.
love it

Credit card only show the last 4 digit and the issuing bank.
Is that a concern???

So Pay basicly works in 1 country out of 10.
I don’t count Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, San Marino and Vatican City.
More than 90 million in german speaking countries can't use it.
