Agreed. I'd pay over that if it featured true durability, which I'd define as a phone that I can drop or sit on without worry. But no freakin' way would I spend that much for a delicate slip of glass that shatters if I drop it on concrete.
Got a tip for us?

You mean like at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club? It would be fantastic. Many people are saying it would be the greatest unlocking thingy ever created. The best people. Experts, the experts are all saying it! They're saying it will be the greatest phone ever built by man. It will unlock so effortlessly you'll get tired of unlocking. Am I right people, am I right?
Wouldn't surprise me if Apple replaces Touch ID. They rather go the easy way out rather than include Touch ID underneath the glass or rear part of the phone in addition to a retina/iris scanner. Those scanners aren't 100% accurate because of glasses or contacts.
It would be so nice if I could get my macrumors fix without the side of political BS. I'm starting to hate the internet.
First they get my fingerprint, then they get my a 3D image of my face, next they get my DNA and can start cloning me. All for extra security... oh and little clones of me can buy more iPhones.
dont flatter your self no body wants you
In Winter I have to take off my gloves to unlock my phone, or use special touchscreen ones. So now I'll need a special hat?
Why? It's much better than touch ID, you just look at your phone, and you're in. Microsoft has been doing this for years. What do you mean low light? The heat of your face is the light. The home button is just contributing to the enormous bezel, it has to go!
Nothing political about it. I was speaking of the iP8. Isn't that how Americans speak these days?
Easy to debunk. Just how exactly is that going to work with Apple Pay?
While the phone may have both facial recognition *and* Touch ID of some sort, it's very unlikely that they are going to replace Touch ID entirely.

Sure, facial recognition is great ... except when you're trying to authenticate your ApplePay payment at the coffee shop and have to awkwardly hold up the phone and payment terminal to your face before you can get your latte. ;-)
I'd be interested to see how accurate this could be. Touch ID was implemented well from the start and I'm confident it would be more of the same with this. However I can't imagine Touch ID would be removed just yet, no matter the accuracy of the facial recognition.
I can't see it happening as a replacement...it's a really long shot!
I can't imagine using facial recognition for Apple Pay for example...

I hope apple doesn' t put touchid next to the apple logo or in the apple logo on the back.
It is so clumsy, but when i think of it, you can use touchid on the back for apple pay and the facial scanner for unlocking.
But please apple, don' t do it.
I'd much rather take off my glove than my full-face ski mask and goggles.
Can't really see this happening. Face recognition would be a nice complement to Touch ID, but a replacement? How about no?
If this turns out to be true, I'll be really worried about Apple's direction (as if I'm not already).

).
I really do not want to see touch ID go, but how exactly would this make Apple pay unusable? Instead of your fingerprint allowing the paymet through you look at your phone. Doesn't seem like a leap to me...
This guy lost all credibility when he wrote:
"He added that facial recognition will potentially be more secure than Touch ID, which could increase Apple Pay adoption among banks and merchants. "
A completely ignorant comment because the security of Touch ID is seen as an advantage over the existing system where anyone with a credit card can use it without ANY verification. There has been zero reluctance to adopt Apple Pay because of Touch ID! The reluctance has to do with costs, access to customer data, and promoting in house systems.
