Are you excited about "animoji"?

[Applejuiced]

Says the Newbie that registered yesterday and doesnt want to hear others opinions in a discussion forum lol
And tries to ridicule anyone who doesnt agree with how great the Animoji or FaceID is.
Like he's losing money if others posts an opposing view telling others about their personal choice.

Says one of the many around here who whine and cry about something they have the 100% choice to purchase or not. Don’t like it? Don’t get it. No need to tell others about it. No one has any cheese to offer with your whine.

Complaining about a finished product, scheduled to release does absolutely diddly squat. Apple won’t pull its launch and go back to the drawing board just because a minuscule number of people on an even smaller corner of the internet doesn’t like it.

Feel better? I wasn't whining... merely stating an absolute fact.

And yeah, I passed on the X. Apparently the only opinion that you value is your own. I have not suggested that Apple "pull its launch an go back to the drawing board", so stop with the hyperbole. I even stated that it was cool tech ... but at the end of the day, it's just a toy to amuse the overindulgent.

Excited? Nope

I wish there was Tim Cook face option.

C'mon, man... everyone knows it's all about self-validation. If someone knocks his choice, he begins to question the validity of his position on the subject at hand.

My registration date is completely irrelevant. I’ve been on here for a long time and am well aware of all the usual suspects that moan about every aspect of everything released.

 

[Applejuiced]

That is the nature of this forum, we all state our views and opinions whether we agree or not.
The ones that whine and moan about other posters point of view or opinions should learn how to use the ignore feature if they cant handle a discussion

[Technarchy]

Think the iPhone 1 reveal would have been as appealing if instead of saying...

"An iPod, a phone, and an Internet communicator"

Steve Jobs would have said..

"Graphical poop, stupid facial expressions, animation"

Guess we will never know...

... not to be confused with those who believe that everything that comes out of Apple headquarters should be praised, nay, venerated, without exception.

It has nothing to do with “my choice”. I’m reacting to people who choose to have tissy fits over something as a feature. Because they’re behaviour is hilarious.

I haven’t said I praise everything....so keep assuming that.

Who is throwing a fit about anything? Simply stating that a "feature" which received significant stage time in the Apple iPhone announcement is childish is far from a "fit" of any kind.

Nor do I whine and moan about all of Apple's wares.

People are acting as if the Animojis are the main feature of the entire device. Which in turn can be considered throwing a fit.

I explained what could be the most logical reasoning behind the stage time it got and kept getting “nopes” in return. It’s obvious they got such stage time because watching them demo FaceID over and over is boring. All you get to see is a lock icon turn from locked to unlocked. Animojis show off what the sensors are capable of in real time. The sensors being the real thing they are the most proud of. Because it’s something never before in a smartphone to date. A real, actual secure way of using our face as authentication rather than some cheap, sloppy implementation that gets fooled by simply holding up a photo that’s in other smartphones on the market.

Considering the amount of time given to Animoji, it was treated as a main feature.

Way to skip over and not include the part where I offer a logical and quite possibly the most likely reasoning as to why that happened.
[doublepost=1505710448][/doublepost]

No, I would have preferred a more practical feature.

More practical than the main purpose of the whole front sensor/camera module? IE secure face authentication. Genuinely curious as to what you have in mind for something that would be more practical?

Besides, the API to the data the front sensors and camera capture is open to 3rd party developers. But I honestly wouldn’t expect a whole lot of crazy outside the box apps using that data. There’s only so much you can do with 3D mapping face data.

So if I disagree with your position, I'm "throwing a fit". But if you do it, you are simply making a point. Got it.

Again, I said that it was cool technology... but the implementation was purely childish... it's not something I would ever use for any reason, and I stated as much... and then you implied that I (and others) who weren't "wowed" by Federighi's down right painful-to-watch demo as one who whine and moan about everything Apple releases... moving on... but holding fast to my opinion that animoji is a juvenile offering, and time and effort would be better spent on creating solutions to real-world issues rather than entertaining bored rich folk. (Yes, you are rich - if you make over $32K annually you are in the top 1% of wager earners in the world.)

So the one of a kind of any smartphone out there face recognition technology is childish? Because that’s the underlying purpose of it. Animojis again are quite simply a “fun” way to use that data it provides. Whether you find those childish or not is irrelevant to what is really the key feature here. Millions upon millions of people use emojis daily from all age groups, not just kids and teens. You have all the right to not like any specific feature and not use said feature, but as others elude to (not you specifically) it does not make an entire device worthless.

32k annually is only a couple dollars above minimum wage in a full time 40 hour a week job where I am. I’d hardly call that rich.

 

[KhunJay]

for animoji to work as intended, does the receiver need to have an iphoneX too?

 

[sean000]

My kids will love this feature, but that means I will have my kids (ages 5 and 7) always asking to play with my iPhone!

I'm more excited about the underlying technology. It enables all kinds of possibilities for AR, and for controlling your iPhone with facial gestures (not really something I need, but could be useful for some).

 

[iSayBoourns]

No. Just iOS 11. iPhone X is required to make the Animojis though.

 

[matty.p]

I don’t think that’s true. I believe they send as a looping video. Some of the people in the hands on said they sent themselves some of animoji. Can’t confirm obviously tho. Oh and if you just send as a picture it sends as a sticker.

 

[stormchasejg]

Now people really can be talking s***

 

[Ralfi]

Just the word 'Animoji' discourages excitement about anything.

If I ponder over it too hard, I'll end up dark & disturbed, like Jerry in that episode of Seinfeld.

 

[The Game 161]

Think would use it for like 5 mins

 

[throAU]

total and utter waste of time, but hey, iphone x users need one feature to brag about i guess.

 

[EfratBarTal]

Excited no, but I'll definitely enjoy using the poop emoji.
