It's pretty pathetic too after they release a whole slew of ads making fun of Apple's design choices... Only to unashamedly copy them in the next iteration.
The Pixel 3 XL leaks looked so bad, I really thought it would end up being a troll. Nope.
Nothing compelling or exciting, yet so many questions...
o Do people really need a tablet that you can't take with you?
o Why the notch and that huge chin?
o Can't phone speakers be thinner?
o So, you're just going to keep those underwhelming ear-buds from last year?
Google, stick to Software.
What do you mean?
As it is, I will probably go with Nokia, even though they are now on USB-C as well.
>Anything Apple introduces to replace Touch ID must be more secure than that.
And that's the key, on android face-unlock doesn't replace fingerprint, it adds and additional option if you want it.
I personally would absolutely not unless face-id style things became MUCH more powerful.
The only reason I have face-unlock enabled on my android device is for the occasions where the phone is face-up on the table, in it's dock on my desk, or when I lived in a colder climate and I would sometimes be wearing gloves.
I don't want to have to look directly at my screen in most cases, I don't want to have to wait any time at all while I bring the phone toward my eyes to have it unlock, I don't want to have to "focus" on it before it lets me in.
When I use a fingerprint scanner on a mobile device, it is normally unlocked a fraction of a second after it's out of my pocket, and I'm probably not going to buy a phone if it removes a fingerprint scanner as it's just so perfect for me right now.
Now on a PC or tablet, face-id is the way to go! Microsoft's "Hello" system works amazingly well on my surface book, and that is a device where I don't want a fingerprint scanner, because there isn't a single spot on the device that I normally "touch" to wake it. I LOVE how if I wake the device by any means, it unlocks pretty much instantly if I'm looking at the screen, and in the vast majority of cases the screen is pointed right at me. It also works in the dark because it uses similar IR tech as face-id does (I believe).
If you ask me, Apple needs to get face-id on the macbooks and get rid of the horrible fingerprint scanner on there which is never convenient to me.
Don't confuse "security" with "convenience". If I were going for most secure, I wouldn't be using a fingerprint scanner OR face-id, i'd stick solely with "something I know" to get into the device. But I'm personally willing to trade some of that security for convenience, and for me at least, it doesn't get any more convenient than a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device (as far as I know! If someone designs something better, i'd love to see it! But the current iterations of face-id are far from it for me).
It’s a tv show.
