iPhone 8 Infrared Face Detection and General Device Design Revealed in HomePod Firmware

Every face detection I've seen so far is just b.s. tech.
They are unreliable, they are slow, you can't wear sunglasses in the summer, it just sucks.
Unless Apple has invented a new world wonder of face tech, it's gonna be far inferior to touch id.
No sunglasses, no deal for me.

This is all great news except for one thing, the TooClose/TooFar api's!
I hope that doesn't mean that we have to hold the iPhone at just the right angle & distance for it to read our face...

1. Touch ID will be under the screen
2. Facial ID will be secondary
3. The bottom will be touch bar like in Mac OS which is configurable.
Unless Apple is as stupid as Samsung and remove Touch ID, which is highly unlikely

Haha I had the same thoughts when a fingerprint reader was rumored on a phone...but then Apple unveiled TouchID which set a new bar on fingerprints readers.
I doubt very much that they solved the sunglasses problem. But I do hope they did.
By the way Apple just bought the company that created TouchID, AuthenTec.
They didn't develop TouchID.
If you need those qualifiers you already failed (in comparison to touch id).

I wasn't into the cutout concept at first but I much prefer it now.

As far as I understand from rumors on the web, there might not be a white iPhone 8. Personally I prefer getting a white iPhone 8 over the black.

It will be smaller than the plus however the screen will be slightly larger. I'm willing to give it a try despite it being an "S" variant year.
What in the hell do you want?So, it’s confirmed. This is the new iPhone design! Not that exciting

Infrared light. Look it up
[doublepost=1501473764][/doublepost]
what are you even talking about concerning the "S" year? That has absolutely nothing to do with the new iPhone.

There will never be an Apple device that has lit pixels in rounded corners. If a video is playing on the OLED device, the top and bottom are black. However, they aren't just black during video playback, they're black 100% of the time. Yes, that's right, the top and bottom portions of the display will always be black, akin to the Touchbar.

If you don't look at the phone when opening it, you didn't need to open it. The device is a device you look at when you use it.
So, it’s confirmed. This is the new iPhone design! Not that exciting
I know. I was truly disappointed that the new iPhone is not in the shape of a circle or a square.
A more than five year old Tim Cook quote.
And if you take him at his word, doubling-down is a single side bet on a particular hand that you think is good.
Every fingerprint scanner was garbage before Touch ID.
You've never had a device with multiple sensors and an A11 chip processing instantaneous infrared light data. The light travels at the speed of light just to let you know. The processing of the data is the trick, and with the A11, it's a joke clearly. It shoots the light, the light reflects off the face and is captured in the sensor and analyzed in data which instantly maps your face in 3D, and subsequent captures reference this face which is unique to the scale at which they are detecting points of reference.

People afraid that this phone will be too expensive.
You'll be out of luck, as those who wear hand covering are with Touch ID. If this rumor turns out to be true, you just bought a losing lottery ticket. Them's the breaks.
My sister.
I would say about 90% of iPhone buyers are completely oblivious to new device rumors and also don't even seem to care.
How would the Note 8 steal any of Apple's 'thunder', when the Note 8 traditionally launches in August anyways? No matter what, the Note 8 still launches before the iPhone does. So either way, it's going to have attention until the September keynote.
But Rest assured, Samsung will have their moment and Apple will have theirs for both phone releases.

Happy with the leak or find with the design, it's nearly assured now isn't it, a bit off topic but just wondering what some of you might think bout the price of the phone and a few of the specs, i mean is the hardware going to be mostly the same as the 7s, apart from design, shouldn't it be a bit better considering the supposed price difference, like better cpu/gpu and any know if the oled will be full rgb?
There's a 0% chance it would be usable in the sense that the app would go in that space. There will probably be API for the space which the space will be black like the Touchbar.
No it does not however I usually never upgrade my iPhone on "s" years. I will make an exception this year. Love the new design. I doubt it will be called the iPhone 8.
Or perhaps it'll be like watching a old tube based television. We had rounded corners for decades
Train it to recognize you with the head covering.
And if you're unlocking it, you're likely also going to be looking at it.

Maybe it's got 2-factor authentication and you have to mouth the words "open Sesame" while looking at it.
That's true but Apple had nothing to do with the development of Touch ID.
They just bought AuthenTec, it's their invention, they developed it (and continue to inside Apple).
When it comes to face detection:
Apple acquired RealFace a few months ago, I hope RealFace developed face detection better than what we have seen so far from others. It's definitely way slower than touch id in their demos.
Here's a User Demo of the face detection company Apple bought.
