Yup... New York City's district attorney said he now has 270 seized iPhones that he can't get into.
Makes you wonder why he doesn't have a similar issue with Android phones.
Got a tip for us?

I think these are some nice additions... the auto sorting and grouping of images will be huge for me. I hate tracking back through my photos trying to find specific photos and this should make that easier. Can't wait to try it.
Do you mean ... if the FBI break into your phone, instead of just downloading all the photos and running them against their own database, they'll say "Siri, all photos where I am breaking the law" and use those?
I had some hilarious stuff thrown in as well. The best was the this gif : http://imgur.com/gallery/1hFj1TR
I about choked from laughing so hard.
Or maybe, "Siri, all photos of subject associating with known members of X political party".
Governments are always benevolent, until they aren't.
According to what was said at the keynote it runs on the device not by sending data back to servers. If that's true then there's no privacy concerns at all.
Indeed. Quite honestly, it's what I *can't* imagine that tends to concern me.
They told us there would be a server side duplicate removal. In stead I have photos that magically duplicate and blow up my library to ridiculous proportions.
Face recognition. When I take a photo of my morning latte and notice at night, it has showed up as my friend.
Yes and no. Google released its advanced search features first (although not that long ago), but this approaches the issue from a completely different angle, relying on an in-device solution. Among the tech giants, Apple seems to be the clear leader in privacy, and that's a big part of what makes this feature compelling.
Unfortunately, "optional" is far from "optimal." Apple Health is "optional," but was turned on by default. I suggest that we default towards privacy, not away from it. Let users choose to share what they want to share. Privacy should be decided by the end user, not the service provider. Certainly, as customers we have choices; and we also have the opportunity to provide feedback in public forums such as these.
It's done intentionally not to send this info across. Processed faces stays on a device. Period. I'd like that to change. Although it is possible to search for particular people by their name, for example, John Doe, even on iOS 9, if you had it recognized on Mac.
What's the private use case of face recognition? I don't get the necessity...
Can you disable it?

I've been waiting for this since I had a baby last year. I have over 2,000 pictures of her and about a hundred cat pictures and I'd love to be able to autosort them or at least have a way either through Siri or GUI to automatically select all pictures of the baby or all the pictures of the cat.
It'll be interesting to see how well the object recognition works.
I don't care whether this is something Google or someone else has done or not, either; I don't use Android so what does it matter to me that Android does it, if it does?

Damn.. Spent couple of hours tagging pics on macOS. Not feeling it to go through this again on my iPhone.
There is this new, at least for me, dogma(?) that your car and your view is not centered. You have a hint on the left and your car together with the route is on the right.
And also, maybe I've messed up something but the 3D view is less used now. Very often the view is 2D, like a far satellite view, not like before when you have seen horizon line.
