My initial questioning was what authentication methods are used by the various android manufactures for financial transaction authentication?
Bad idea putting the FPS on the power button of an iphone. Many cases cover up the power button...and that may be one reason Apple choose not to support that.
Apple will always put people off. Apple doesn't care. They would rather do it right (or to the best of their ability) than throw in tech and get the sales for specs sake.
I would say the usage of an ipad is different than the usage of an iphone. I rarely touch the power button of my iphone. So doing so would now be an extra step.
Power button is covered by a case, in many cases. Touch id under power button would not be viable on an iphone.
Correct. Apple want to migrate away from a dedicated home button with touch id to save screen real estate. Face ID was the solution.
As I noted in a prior thread, the above, while it may be the opinion of you and your friends is absolutely false. Face id for apple pay can be activated for about 1min30secs prior to paying.
I guess the keyword is "guess".
Do you have some citations for this or the above some hyperbole based on an opinion.
Because you can't tell what Apple is collecting, but you do know what the isps and carriers are collecting?
Proof that any of my data is accessible without due process.
Totally, go off the grid if one doesn't want to be tracked.
Exactly, Apple moved tech forward.
Do you have proof that anybody really sees or hears voice or camera data in an unauthorized way, or is it just some conspiracy theory.
How does a smart phone collect medical data if it's not enabled to being with. Who is it being given away to? How does this data correlate to your heath and who is doing the interpreting?
Using the reply button always helps. A typical internet debating tactic is to throw shade at the poster, in an attempt to discredit. Has anyone suggested you work for Samsung due to your criticisms of Apple?
I give you that, Apple isn't always right, but seems to learn from their mistakes.
Anecdotally your 24 friends do not want to use face id. Out of the hundreds of millions of iphones that have face id what is the percentage that don't use face id? To answer your question, to pay for a purchase with Apple Pay on my xs max takes less than a blink of an eye. I authenticate prior to check-out and then when it's my turn hold the phone to the reader. Done.
Okay, you don't agree with my opinion. Fair enough.
False equivalency. While one is waiting in the checkout line, authentication to face id does not stop customers behind one from being checked out.
Your using the word "most" disingenuously...you don't know.
Not true as said above.
I want my icloud data to sync. Passwords, photos and whatever else. There is nothing subversive about it.
The issue with your posts, is you believe you understand the totality of what is going on behind the scenes with the software.
Most of the above is hyperbole with no substance. IMO, to prove a point, one should use facts and not generalized critical statements that have no context.
Everybody uses their phone differently. Why should I accept a stupid design decision by Apple to put touch id in the power button? Nobody is calling for implementation of touch id in the power button, that simply doesn't make sense on an iphone, imo.
Why should I be forced to get a new case for a design decision by apple, whereby Apple knows people cover their power button. That use case doesn't make any sense.
But considering a see quite a few cases where the power button is covered, I think Apple knows this and doesn't want to implement something that is deemed "not Apple like" at the outset.
In your opinion.
I do not believe Apple thinks it has a hold on customers. It strives to do it's best and in the process is aware they may lose customers. they would rather lose customers, imo, than implement a feature that will come back to haunt them.
We each have our definition of unusability. I do not view my xs max as being unusable in the least. YMMV.
Weird… I hear people talk about problems they had with Touch ID.. hardly ever happened.. Face ID however, too sunny, wrong angle, masks constant problems.. entering code is annoying bc you sit there waiting for the phone to recognise it doesn’t recognise before it offers the option.. yes a setting change could help, but then it’s always code entry which is annoying. Why not have both like previous comments.. then everyone is happy.
?? If you’re not able to authenticate with faceid after 2 tries it literally defaults the authentication to the users passcode which will validate the transaction or request be it an iOS function or an Apple Pay purchase. You’re being over dramatic. I think apple is the most ridiculous company on the planet but to try and act as if anything they sell isn’t leading the market in its respective category is just you lying to yourself.
Any ****ing phone that has a connection to a functioning cell service is spying on you. Do you have any clue how a cell phone call works? Your device is constantly broadcasting its availability with the number assignment that is tied to your personal info unless you buying burner phones regularly.
I bet you 100 dollars if you tilt your phone towards your face when Face ID is active instead of holding it like you do when you’re texting then you faceid issue will magically be gone. The system relies on 2 cameras a light senso and proximity sensor in the notch at the top of the screen. If you don’t hold the device near vertical then the infrared sensor can’t properly project the dots on to your face which is how it verifies the person on the other end is the same who set up the process originally. There are a few hundred to 1000 individual dots that are used to detect the slightest change in shape and measurements across the projected dots as they hit your faces features which results in specific measurements between the dots that can only be a match to what is likely one individual alive on the planet.
Because you don’t understand how it works and your holding the phone at an angle when attempting to unlock and the dot projector is unable to find your face with enough detail to be certain that it’s verified upon attempting so it tells you to move closer which is basically saying hold the phone vertically and be sure that the notch on the screen is level with your eyes and the phone is about a foot from your face.
You always hold it the same way you had to hold it when you set it up. If the notch on the screen isn’t parallel with an imaginary line drawn from the top of your forehead to bottom of your chin then it’s possibly going to fail depending on how far the notch on the display is tilted away from that area.
I understand exactly how it works. The “angle” problem is just another reason I dislike it, not the initial reason I find it doesn’t work well. It also doesn’t work well in bright sunshine.
Are you serious? You’re suggesting people wear their masks incorrectly so they can unlock their phones?
Don’t forget that you also have to hold the device farther away than during actual usage. So what you are saying is it can work if you go out of your way to hold it different?
