Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone X Event at Steve Jobs Theater

[BFG86]

So now the cops don't need your fingerprint... they'll just simply hold YOUR phone up to YOUR face and they're in.

hopefully he address this. better be a quick way to turn it off

 

[apolloa]

Ok so this new machine learning looks cool but a thief can snatch your phone, shove it in your face and voila..

Oh you close your eyes..

 

[sigmadog]

Why do Apple executives look so dumpy? Tuck in the damn shirts, you slobs.

 

[wozmatic]

What's not broke, don't fix it...

I can see all the people that wear sunglasses, hats, scarfs, etc. not working with this.

Spoke to soon, phil just dismissed that.

HOWEVER, I personally hate this. It's creepy, intrusive, and insecure. I DON'T LIKE IT.

Think what this tech will do to the world and privacy, how the powers that be will use it for evil.

Not cool

So kids can't hold the phone up to sleeping mommy/daddy's face.

 

[lilj4425]

I wonder how Face ID works with identical twins.

Uhhh...bye. Lol.

 

[SteveNoJobs]

faceID is NSAproofed!

 

[GigabitEthernet]

The problem with this is once again, Apple isn't solving a problem. It's a problem they've created at the expense of keeping up with Samsung.

 

[M.PaulCezanne]

Hmm.... We shall see Phil. We trusted you when you introduced the Mac Pro...

 

[scrap104]

My face is one in a million

 

[Leonard1818]

What a ugly lady

Nah... She's fine!

 

[trekkie604]

I would like independent verification on the 1:1M Phil.

 

[jdillings]

"There's no perfect system" Ruh roh....Phil already trying to prepare people for the problems ahead.

 

[convergent]

So when my wife wants to use my phone... uh what then?

 

[CarlJ]

SPOCK!

 

[routine_analyst]

Hey... so what happens when you get into an accident, smash your face up a bit and then try to unlock your phone to make a call?

 

[macduke]

Well, they've done a really good job on selling Face ID so far. Sucks for twins I guess.

 

[budselectjr]

So when my wife wants to use my phone... uh what then?

First, stop being a beta male.

Second, Passcode

 

[Rob_2811]

Security is good. Convenience not so much it seems.

 

[Tech198]

This thing would work since its only works when eyes are open.

 

[BFG86]

so no protection from a twin? how can we protect our passcode if it unlocked automatically?

 

[BlueCreek]

what if your sleeping??? they don't even need to touch you to unlock you phone, just hold it in front of you

 

[M.PaulCezanne]

If you're going to go blind from IR light pulses you'd better never go outside or use an incandescent light bulb. Also, stay way from stove tops and open flames.

good grief, it was a joke. pretty sure they wouldn't release an eye burning iPhone.

 

[Applebot1]

looks like face ID is more secure

 

[kupkakez]

So kids can't hold the phone up to sleeping mommy/daddy's face.

They said you actively have to be looking at it .

Yeah they just said twins will be able to unlock it, so better use a PIN... fail.
