Jeez take a joke...

China? I said Canada...

I just love how people come back and say "It was a joke" when they are trying to clean up their non-point. Your "humor" could use some work, nothing comical there. Oh my bad about confusing Canada with China, tomayto tomotto. Doesn't make your point any more valid. Thanks.

Haha says the guy who says tomayto tomotto to Canada and China... :rolleyes:

I just love how people come back and joke when they are trying to clean up their geographical ignorance. ;) But please, no jibes about Austria or I might feel hurt.

Oh, and two bites of the tomato and neither spelt right!
 
the ad does not mention that Touch ID was hacked only a few days after the release of the iphone :D :p :rolleyes:


So, let me ask: If I used a camera to video you unlocking the phone with the password, learned that password and then unlocked your phone with it, would you class that as hacking? :confused:

The fingerprint sensor is a total joke, all hype. It takes two to three scans to unlock my phone, and I find that I can unlock my device faster with the old fashioned password.
Not worth an upgrade for sure!

False! From my experience it only did fail 3 or 4 times on the first few days. It has been more then 10 days without a single fail! Same thing with other people who got it at my workplace. You are either making it up or you have a faulty hardware.

Re-register your fingers.
 
10 day hacks

10 days? i'm impressed...
 
Hardware wise, it can't be faulted (inb4 'hurr durr it doesn't have a 50" screen like my Samsung ProG ScreenX Allmighty). However, software wise, it's absolute gash. The 5s doesn't feel quicker than the 5, even though it is. My complaints with iOS 7 aren't with the icons; it's the animations. Slow them right down and you'll see how sloppy they are -- subconsciously that sinks in. Plus it's still buggy, and it's really not optimised for 64-bit.

They ruined a perfect device with abysmal software. There's no consistency to the UI and it lacks the 'fit and finish' Apple are so renowned for.

While the hardware is very refined I have to agree with you that iOS7 has been released half cooked. It probably has a good 6 months of work left to get it to the level of polish that the hardware has. Lots of bugs and crashes, animations are rough and not well thought out, older devices struggle to run it and general feeling of poor quality all round. In many respects it has the feel of Android now because the polish was always the main differentiator.
 
The Financial Times had this ad last week on the back cover of their Weekend magazine.

Gorgeous

But it was ugly, stale polish IMO. Plus it's not like iOS 6 was completely bug free. iOS 7 is far from perfect but I think Apple would've been worse off sticking with iOS 6 UI.

I don't mind the icons, I don't mind the look. What I think makes it so sloppy is the animations -- when you slow them right down you can really see how poorly thought out they are. It really does sink in subconsciously.

Took some screenshots so I can hopefully show y'all what I mean.

I'm not saying that the new design is bad just that the OS has been released before it was really ready. By version 7.1 it will probably be pretty solid and a lot more polished but that is what is expected on day one from Apple as they sell themselves on quality.

That would also be a lot less hassle than the 30 hours of effort to produce a fake fingerprint that can fool the sensor assuming you can actually lift a fingerprint from something that is good enough to use in the first place. ;)
 
If it only worked for iTunes purchases. Every time I buy something it asks me to enter my 36 character password. Sooo much fun.:mad::rolleyes:

Uhm... it does. Check the settings.

If you make a copy of my front door key, does that mean my lock was "hacked"?

ewww...
As much as i love touchID on my 5s, this ad is incorrect.
A fingerprint is absolutely NOT a password. It is an identity.
A password is something that can be changed if compromised. A fingerprint can't be changed.

I think its a mistake to make people confuse biometrics with passwords.

A password is something that can be entered to gain access to something otherwise secured. There are many definitions of password. The slogan addresses the one that matters to most people.

It's not a mistake. If Apple said "your finger is your identity" does that convey the notion they can use it to unlock their phone or make a purchase? Not really. "Password" is correct here.

Has anyone noticed the Only on iPhone 5s part?
Could that mean that we won't see TouchID on iPad anytime soon?

No, it means no other phone on the market today has a Touch ID sensor. Other phones have fingerprint sensors, sure, but in stupid places that require extra steps to use them.
 
False Advertising

Too bad there are no gold iphone 5s models to be had anywhere in the world. Apple probably made two and then got everyone to purchase one only to be told that they will have to wait months to actually receive it. This is false advertising as far as I am concerned. Shame on Apple.:mad:

a fingerprint can be changed up to 10 times, just by using another finger :D
 
This is a privacy concern, which is why Apple limited it to Apple apps.

Yup and the jail break crowd is having a tough time getting to the fingerprint sensor. Seems the interface from the sensor into the processor is not a straight address / memory digital bus. Search on a few forums and you'll see what many are burning a few thousand of hours trying to work into.
 
This was my first iPhone and i love it to this day. It changed so much. I had the 16 GB Gold. Kinda miss it. iOS 7 and all
