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??
I'm not expecting it to be, even if Siri is proven to be the dumbest smart assistant and it kind of sucks. I WOULD expect it to be able to connect to more devices than my iPhone, support Bluetooth, not let anyone else with a voice control it, I'd also expect it to set up Spotify or any other service except Apple Music as default music player and to not leave white marks on my hard wood floor
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.

And that's somehow simpler or more intuitive than resting your finger on the TouchID. Sure.
Meanwhile, Apple, please bring Apple Pay to NL and Germany. It's been 4 years already. Not sure if we're even curious to try it anymore.
Would be awesome to try in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium etc. But it seems Apple doesn’t deem us important enough.![]()
I wonder if non Apple heads would understand what this ad was about?

Agreed. You don't have to work in advertising to understand these ads.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.
I guess you couldn't sense the sarcasm in my whole statementJust 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.

I foresee personal financial troubles if it were this easy, lol.I love Apple Pay. But I wouldn't if it was anything like the video.

Exactly, apple pay here ineurope is not such a miracle, we are tapping cards using nfc for years...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.
This ad looks awesome but it would freak the hell out of me if it was that easy for me to approve a purchase on my credit card.
In the ad it appears that he looks at something, looks at his phone which for some reason is showing his credit card, and now he has approved the purchase. Thats supposed to be good?
Oh how I wish a girl in jogging gear would throw a sledgehammer through the Apple Park's cafeteria jumbotron. That might wake them up into innovating again.
Apple *publishes* or *releases* a new video.
Apple *shares* bombed today.
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.
You mean to tell me that IBM wasn’t actually a giant face projected onto a screen?!
