[cmwade77]

Hmm....only 458 PPI? Note 8 is 522
Nearly edge to edge display? Note 8 has edge to edge on the sides
3D touch....yep Note 8 has that covered and then some
Facial recognition....Check
Multitasking, including Multi Window, yep Note 8 has that too

Come on, anything new?

 

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

Yeah, I'm going to flash that bright light in my face in the middle of the night in my dark bedroom

If only photons at wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum existed...

 

[TheGenerous]

Butt ID,
butt recognition

 

[Rogifan]

Face iD looks amazing but not sure how smooth it will be for Apple Pay in B&M stores.

 

[citysnaps]

I wonder how Face ID works with identical twins.

It will work great.

 

[Wando64]

How do you get to the control centre on the X? Looks like swipe from bottom is no longer an option.

 

[Peace]

Wish I had $6000 in cash lol

I wonder how Face ID works with identical twins.

Nothings perfect.... but twins don't have the same eyes do they.?

So people can just force you to make transactions and unlock your phone by shoving it into your face?

 

[44267547]

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

Why would kids be holding up the iPhone
To their parents while they're sleeping?

 

[itsmilo]

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

Your eyes need to be open

So people can just force you to make transactions and unlock your phone by shoving it into your face?

Unlike just forcing you to put your thumb on it?

 

[pat500000]

after getting into a fight...
iphone : "sorry i don't recognize your face."

 

[BMcCoy]

Wow, he skipped through Apple Pay in about 3 seconds.

Very telling....

 

[78Bandit]

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

She types in your passcode.

 

[biscuitsxluv]

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

Did you see the audience? In the beginning of the keynote it showed everyone attending Keynote. Not one person dressed up. All wore t-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes, and backpack. I'm all for comfort but whatever. lol

 

[bbeagle]

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

Duh, either give her your passcode, don't use a passcode, or let her set up her face as well.

 

[macduke]

Oh boy, here's the Animojis. Super meh.

Edit: Ok, so you can record "videos" with your voice and the animation. That's a little bit cooler, but something I probably won't use until my kids have phones in another 5-7 years.

 

[gugy]

Damn emojis

 

[tkukoc]

Here's your 1000.00 animated emoji's.. agh! More gimmick nonsense.

 

[jdillings]

"Face ID is going to enable great new user experiences.....emojis" ROFL

 

[nednarm]

How is this easier than a fingerprint? I don't want to look at my phone directly every time I open it. I was hoping they were going to integrate the TouchID sensor under the display. That would have been innovative.

 

[Shanghaichica]

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

Your eyes have to be open so it wouldn't unlock.

 

[d5aqoëp]

Buzz words... machine learning, neural engine... ever!

Yes. This neural machine is learning the machine learning of neural network.

 

[kupkakez]

Here comes the crying about emojis....

 

[yanki01]

double down, Tim!

 

[convergent]

animated poop emoji... changing the world for the better Tim!
