What if HomePod will have facial recognition? It's possible it wasn't ready for demo at the keynote and why it's not being released till December... why would a smart speaker be taking so long anyway..
Fiddling with your phone in your pocket while you’re driving is not safe. Get a dash mount, for the sake of other road users.
It stays in my pocket for the sake of other road users, so there is no dash display for distraction. And I don't fiddle with it. I just push the home button to summon Siri, and the touchID. When I had it in my dash mount, It was there to look at, which is less safe. That's a real benefit of Siri for me, is eyes off operation. Maybe someday I can afford a car with Siri Eyes Free built in.
Siri development. The hardware is easy compared to the software.
A $349 speaker won't have cameras. Not in 2017.
You can use wireless with macs
Same pros/cons apply. Fact is wired is till superior , as you stated, having a delay editing video is not ideal....[doublepost=1501822301][/doublepost]
Let's see how it works out. If the next SE phone has Touch ID, that's my next phone, I'm over this gimmick crap be it Samsung or apple
Hey Siri can’t hear you but you push the button to summon Siri. This story is unraveling rapidly.
The rumors might be true, but Apple may also be doing something like what they did with the original iPhone: develop 2 interface solutions simultaneously. They tried very hard to bring the click-wheel to the iPhone but hit many constraints, in the end they managed to make their preferred touchscreen solution work. I'm seeing some possible parallels here. Once they are sure the fingerprint sensor under the display wasn't going to work for whatever reason, they probably went all in on the facial recognition.
Has anyone seen this? It appears Reddit have had issues, https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/6rkgv2/a_note_about_leaks_on_rapple_from_ufoxconninsider/ the leaker has proved mostly accurate in the past so next months iPhone event will be telling.

Personally I'm not bothered about it because I know that if Apple are planning to replace it, they make whatever is replacing it just as good. Next month is gong to be very interesting.

You said:
So if you’re interacting with Siri by voice, then the mic can hear you. If the mic can hear you, then it’s possible to ID you by voice. If it can’t hear you, and the phone is in your pocket, there’s little that you can do with the phone today without looking at it.
Nonetheless, CarPlay will cover the use case you’re pointing out. It’s the safest way to interact with your phone while you’re driving. If your car doesn’t have CarPlay, like all other new features, eventually you start to miss out when you have older hardware.
What do you want, a video? I summon Siri, and that engages the car's Bluetooth mic. Just because it's different from your setup doesn't mean it's not accurate.

Yeah, CarPlay I'm sure would be great. The mic in my car is not active until I summon Siri. Otherwise the car's Bluetooth is in play for bluelink stuff. It's been great with my iPhone 6s. I'd just hate to lose the functionality.
