I know about the iris scanning. That was different and kind of cool. But you had to hold the phone at a perfect distance for it to register your eyes. And forget about using it in the dark too. Face ID works no matter what. Sunglasses, hats, etc.
Got a tip for us?

The statement is subjective and similar to saying vanilla is better than chocolate.
You didn't have to hold the phone at a perfect distance or angle. And it worked perfectly in the dark. I used it to unlock the S9+ 90% of the time.
If you stand up and declare the earth is flat...well we (as in most of us) dont have to give you credence on what you believe
Comparing an fact that can be proved to an opinion that is subjective. Some hyperbole there.If you stand up and declare the earth is flat...well we (as in most of us) dont have to give you credence on what you believe
Agree....iris scanner works perfectly on the tab S4...much better than the intelligent combo scan option which involves a face photo.........the fingerprint reader on the note 9 is faster and my go to option for the note....
Not really,
While variety is accepted in many areas in life, when its about investing $1000s in devices that you use usually for work/get things done people opt for the better product unless you are rich. For example its hard to believe that someone will pay $3000 for a Mac Pro -although he can get a more powerful system for less on the better Windows OS-because he feels like editing videos on Final Cut Pro on Sundays.
In comparison, its very easy to believe that someone who like chocolate ice-cream might checkout vanilla flavoured one once in a while.
Not really. We’re going to go round on this. You cannot say vanilla is better than chocolate in an objective sense any more than Camry is better than accord.
I understand why someone would not rather deal with windows and go Mac. That makes Mac better for them in a subjective sense.
AirDrop isn’t over rated. You can instantly share movies files and pictures very fast.
And all you need is Bluetooth on. You
Don’t even need WiFi for it
well, in that case then we can conclude that anything that is not gauged by numbers is objective. For example, we will have to accept that someone can argue that living conditions in Iraq is better than it is in Canada because it fits him better.
In that vein, one can say a Ferrari is a better vehicle than an F150 because it's faster. Until you need a Ferrari to tow something. But that's not really the conversation, there is no way to "prove" something that involves making subjective determination from objective data.
That’s precisely what some youtubers are doing - opting to edit their videos on a Mac because for them, FCP on a Mac offers better performance compared to a better-specced / cheaper Windows computer running adobe premiere.
MKBHD, TLD, Austin Evans, EverythingApplePro, Tailosive Tech, iJustine, PHT, just a few off the top of my head.
Considering that this is their bread and butter, there is little incentive for them to want to opt for the less beneficial workflow (for them) just for the sake of being an apple fanboy.
The more plausible reason is that for them, a Mac does indeed offer advantages over and beyond what a Windows PC offers. Those benefits may not matter to you, and that’s perfectly okay, because your needs and preferences have nothing to do with what they prioritise in a device (and vice versa).
I think it’s about time that you accepted that what constitutes “better” is going to vary from user to user. There are, right this second, millions of people spending money on things that I wouldn’t buy. Things that I could easily find an almost unlimited number of “better things to spend the money on”.
Perhaps I could take the time to tell them all that they should be buying something else that they don’t actually want, but I do. However, I think I’ll stuck to just understanding that they probably have different tastes, personal circumstances, disposable income etc to me and therefore it’s probably best for them to actually just buy the thing that they decided upon with those factors taken into account.
I completely agree with you, but this argument started off as one member he mentioned that MacOS and iOS are NOT better systems than Windows or Android and they are just as good. You clearly mention the example of MKBHD, TLD, Austin Evans, EverythingApplePro, Tailosive Tech, iJustine, PHT, which clearly prefers MacOS and FCP which means... there are people out there who believes yes its better and worth the extra dollars.
Whether I’ve got 50%, 65% or 80% battery left at the end of the day, my charger cares about as much as I do.
FCP indeed runs faster on a Mac than Prermier does on a PC. But Premier runs dramatically faster on a PC than on a Mac. The thing is: Adobe does a good job marketing their entire suit in one subscription. I use Premier, but I use Acrobat DC, Lightroom classic and Photoshop more. Lightroom runs much faster on my Surface Book 2 than it does on my 2018 MacBook Pro.
Adobe products are also better suitable for my photography workflow, which consists of importing the pictures on my iPad Pro, doing some pre-editing and selecting on Lightroom CC on the iPad. Then things get sent to the creative cloud and appear more or less immediately on the PC version of Lightroom.
For these reasons a lot of pros choose an Adobe subscription, which covers al their tools and allows for a good workflow, rather than getting a Mac just because FCP runs faster.
