I've never had a phone with Face ID but it always struck me as one of those technologies that doesn't really doesn't make it any better but once you're use to it not having it feels excruciating
Not doubting you, but is it really that big a difference from sticking your finder on a reader for half a second?
I've used both iPhone types. Using a finger can be finicky if your finger isn't clean or isn't in the correct orientation. Of course it's still really nice to use. Switching to Face ID just makes it even easier, especially if you have raise to wake on. It unlocks without any interaction.
Yeah that's my point, it doesn't really make unlocking your phone any better. I just imagine it's easy to get accustomed to
Interesting. The thought of facial recognition on my phone has always freaked me out, but I guess they have my fingerprint and everything else about me so what can I really say?
another technology which would be miraculous if it wasn't being wielded by Capital.
It works better and faster.
I think the best fingerprint was the iPhone home button, where if the scanner was working good for you, the unlock/screen on would be invisible to you.
The facescan works that way more often.
The goal of security would be for it to be no problem for those permitted but be a walk for those who shouldn’t access.
If it can reliably recognize a partially obscured face, and with voice commanda, might actually be really helpful during winter.
Pro tip about decryption laws and rights when detained. You aren't required to use a password or pin to open your phone when cops ask you. However, they can get you to use your fingerprint or face to unlock it.
This info is a bit dated, and things might've changed (for the worse), but if you're trying to protect data like that, it's something to look into.
another pro tip is that newer iPhones require a PIN to unlock after the phone restarts, and cannot use Face ID / Finger ID until you supply said PIN for the first unlock
Probably takes a while to collect a large enough sample of masked selfies, also since a larger portion of the face is obscured it probably took some tinkering before they had control over the false positive rate.
