I won’t buy another iPhone with face ID. What a useless thing that has been. With masks on these days I type my stupid PIN 100x a day like it’s 2007
Got a tip for us?

I read this as “Air ID sensor” and thought I missed the built-in breathalyzer announcement.It was interesting to hear about the Air’s ID sensor and the antenna.
Will try to wait on sales for the Air...Try.
It’s right up alongside of android “innovation” if increasing screen resolution, if that’s the case.
Great point! Also, it's important not to downplay how impressive it is to make that happen in such a short amount of time in the middle of "Crazy times" ... Imagine having to research, experiment, parts, supply check, etc ... in the middle of "Crazy times" ... Apple delivers again!!!!!!!
Gloves are no better for fingerprints authentication.
not sexism from my view, she just does alot of cringe stuff initially, i'm still can't get the image of her dancing like a sarcastic 12 year old in the apple store many years ago.
gloves are not mandatory, people need to stop using the glove counter point. they won't stop you from going into the store without gloves, but they will stop you if you don't wear mask.
Lol? "every other phone manufacturer" don't have a fingerprint reader on the power button. Most have the large round reader on the back of the phone.
Also, not every fingerprint reader have the same sensitivity/specificity. This has been shown every year when some manufacturer bring out some cheap phone with a ****** fingerprint reader or ****** face reader.
"Most" being the Google Pixel phones no one buys?
My secondary phone (Xiaomi) has a screen-built-in finger print scanner. If it wasn't ****** Android I'd 10x rather use this than my 100x a day PIN typing iPhone 11 Pro.
Why not just build in both?
Would be a great way to get rid of the notch. Or, they can use it unison with Face ID for more secure authentication.
Lies and stupid BS. you have 23 comments and most of them are about how much you hate Apple and how ugly Apple products are...and how superior samsung is... what are you doing here?

Such the nature of the wokes to label legitimate criticism with an ..ist 'cause damn independent thought. iJustine is the tech media's version of Supercar Blondie, but with zero integrity. She is the squealing Apple fangirl who continued to praise the butterfly keyboard in 2019. If self appointed non sexists are such advocates of women in tech then I'm sure they watch Lisa Gade (mobiltechreview) or is she too brunette & not bombshell enough to hold their attention. The fact she's be at it as long as queen Justine & has a far less following shows who the true ists are.
LOL. *Speaking* of marketing. Sony and Xiaomi checked a box, anyway, and that's enough for people capable of only shallow comparisons. You don't know how actually secure those other implementations were of course, and you probably don't much care, because only Apple devices get subjected to that kind of scrutiny. Sort of like FaceID. Samsung tries to ape Apple's FaceID and it turns out the simplest ruses can fool it. Does it make headlines? Not especially. It's "similar" so in your mind, it's the "same".
Are you lying on purpose? Or just talking through your hat?
Beware: Galaxy S10's Facial Recognition Easily Fooled with a Photo
Use fingerprint recognition because the new Samsung flagship is not up to par with Apple's FaceID, but there's a way to make it more secure.
It's amazing how Apple was able to create a finger print sensor inside a power button. When the world's best engineers come together miracles can happen!!
I really hope that they put this tech in the new iPhones because this no unlock mask crap is getting old fast.
