Vivo’s X80 Pro Takes Fingerprint Sensor Tech to the Next Level as Apple Remains Focused on Face ID

Seriously, what is not to understand? Not sure how you use your phone but me I am constantly going throw apps and sites that require authentication (lots of log ins with key chain, lost of apps that are set to use Face ID as a form of authentication) Now WHY ON EARTH would I want to constantly be touching the touch ID button or a part of the screen? That becomes tiresome very quick, especially once you get used to forget about it, like you do with Face ID. The less I interact with the screen by touching it, the better. You people do not understand that this is not just about unlocking the phone.
There is absolutely not even one reason why touch ID would be better than Face ID for me (and perhaps millions others) Not even one. With Face ID I just use the phone and forget that Face ID even exists. Touch ID used to be nightmare, especially with moist fingers.

Anytime you autofill passwords, you still have to tap the screen to activate Face ID. Whenever you make a purchase, you have to double click the power button. You also have to double click the power button to bring up your wallet for Apple Pay.

If Touch ID was built into the screen, you could simultaneously confirm a purchase or authenticate a login while scanning your fingerprint. How is that worse than what you're already doing with Face ID?

Then why is TouchID supported on Macs and not FaceID? If TouchID is inherently less secure then surely they could have fit FaceID into the MBPs and especially iMacs. The argument that TouchID is less secure makes no sense given it is implemented, and continues to be implemented, in new product.

Seeing the weirdly large notch on the new MacBook Pros, I have a feeling that they did intend to put FaceID on it. I mean why make such a large notch for a tiny Webcam?

What, exactly, is their excuse for not replacing the lighting connector with USB-C? You're excuses don't work for that.

Market research shows most don’t want it?

It's true. Americans work harder than Europeans for sure. This is reflected in American companies having more success.

All the success Chinese companies are having is deserved. They definitely work much harder than Americans.

American workers have a lot less protections than European workers, and Chinese workers even less. Peak capitalistic exploitation is not the thing to be proud of (and yes, that includes Chinese companies too). Capitalism works best on a macro sense with regulation and worker protections to create the appropriate balance between the actual capitalists (the ones with real capital at work) and everyone else as well as continuing the velocity of money (if money doesnt flow because it pools at the top the entire economy suffers, eventually even those at the top - also one of the reasons moderate inflation is actually a good thing, just shouldn't get as high as it is right now)
