This is why I miss Steve, he would not be following the rest of the market. Gimmick after gimmick , keep it simple apple, improve the battery and focus on the user experience , building a better Samsung S8 is not the answer , never was. User experience over marketing BS
[doublepost=1487310099][/doublepost]Touchid is one of the few features that apple is ahead in . It's a great user experience to ditch it would prove the marketing guys are running the show.

Remove the headphone jack, the home button, and touch ID. Face plant.....

I hope it's as good as the Windows Hello thing on the Surface line, that thing is quick and surprisingly good, it should work in the dark too if it uses the same IR camera.
If it's half as good as the Surface one, it maps your face in 3D space, so yeah, it will! Mine still unlocks my surface even if I just shave six months of beard off.

They don't need you alive to use your finger print to logon, but they do to get you logon numbers.

Finally something that worked. Quick. Take it away...
What's your justification or evidence that 3D Touch "Flopped?" That's completely anecdotal by my standards. It's totally dependent on the user if they choose to utilize the feature.
My opinion, is there was an initial adjustment when it first launched and users had to be accustomed To using it. Having the Plus model iPhone, using 3D Touch is a huge convenience when short-cutting and reaching.
But don't say it flopped, that's silly to say on all accounts when you have zero data proving that.
They will never get rid of TouchID just like they will never get rid of the headphone jack. Oh, wait...
All these very very basic concerns of a customer should have been easily thought by a highly skilled engineers that work for one of the biggest tech companies of this world. Remember the reaction before touch ID was introduced and how much more trusty the password was for customers in this forum? Actually there are endless debates about it but that was until it was tried first on the iPhone 5s! After that, it was the best thing since the slice of bred!
But I thought apple had courage. Nobody says it's going away. Just that it won't be in the oled model.
That is because they will have a new ceo then who understands their customers
Memes on FB?
Dude, there's so many better places for memes than FB.
But I know what you mean, and the 3D scanner implies your actual face's three-dimensional "mapping" is the key, not particular light/color-based attributes like eye color, etc... I'm sure they can make it tolerant enough to adjust for natural variances in your face's shape, much like you don't always are equally tall or equally heavy.
That being said, please don't take away my Touch ID. I love it and I'm sure a new technology can be amazing as well, but right now I can only really imagine it as supplement, not replacement.
There's many times where I unlock my phone without looking at it directly, in the car would be one situation for example as it's mounted on the windshield, in the center, not anywhere near my face.

Absolutely no chanc touchid goes away any time soon. It's an idiot method of security. Face scanning? One day yea, but I doubt this year.
Also, I have a feeling the reason they made the home button taptic was to make the transition to no home button easier, so this year we may see its demise after all.
Actually, a password is more trustworthy, it's just that Apple gets to make the decisions and we don't.
What I especially like about passwords is that you can have different once for different purposes. 123456 may be for full access, 123457 is for your kids and restricts access,
123458 is for when authorities ask you to unlock your phone and you want to factory erase it.
Here's my unlocked phone, Mr TSA. What? There is nothing on it? I have no idea how that happened. Can I board my plane now?
So long as they don't get rid of the pin/password lock they can add whatever else they want. Just please don't get rid of the requirement for the pin /pass entered (regardless if Touch ID or facial id is enabled) every time it's rebooted.
