HaterzSuckkkkk, 26 Aug 2021bruh you obviously did not get the context.
My point is ... moreI truly believe that even after Covid ( or when it is endemic, but less deadly to populace as a whole) significant numbers of people will continue to wear masks.
5 -10 years ago in Disney you would see all these Asian people wearing surgical masks, and I didn’t get it.
Now I do.
People will still use the passcode instead of removing masks, but I agree that facial recognition will never be what Apple suspected it would be

FaceID is not gonna dissapear when smartphones dissapear, its gonna stay around for a long time. And during that time, it will be superior to in-display fingerprint scanners 95% of the time.

mooox, 26 Aug 2021Interesting that you bring up that point about software sup... moreThis claim falls under "shit that doesn't actually happen". It's all these made up claims how iPhones miraculously get slowed down by software updates as some sort of evil planned obsolescence scheme. Meanwhile Android phones get slow for no logical reason by being stuck on same ancient outdated Android version from 3 years ago...

AnonD-1003038, 25 Aug 2021Oh yes, you're so free with all the Google's crap... moreInteresting that you bring up that point about software support for 7 years.
Apple phones start to slow down after 3rd year update to a pretty unusable state, and repair costs escalate after warranty till you can buy a relatively new 2nd hand phone with each complete repair.
Other than the online forums, Apple users in real life know NOT to update their older phones or risk having an unusable phone.
On the other hand, Android users are having phones that are just as fast after 3 years.

We know for a fact that FaceID doesn't work over time as someone ages, but magically fingerprints do.
Your logic doesn't make sense. Technologically FaceID maybe better in specific circumstances, but logically and in the current reality fingerprinting is much better. The pandemic isn't going away any time soon in the near future.
You can hold on to the better tech that you cannot use in most cases, while others use an "inferior" technology to do things faster and better in every situation.

It has made up a good 40% of time since Face ID was introduced. In the past 2 years, it has affected close to 100% of every normal person with a brain (we'll have to exclude the non-maskers).

My point is that pandemics that are at the scale of COVID-19 are like once in a century.
So it really doesn't matter if face-ID isn't as good during COVID.

Other than raving how awesome Android is and how it literally doesn't need any updates at all. I just wonder why Google releases security updates every single month and then most Android phone makers just ignore them because they treat you so wonderfully and with so much respect lol. Meanwhile people with iPhones from 2015 still getting major OS updates the entire time and will get security updates for few more years. And you're stuck on exactly the same OS that got dropped by vendors years ago without ever getting a single security update. Not talking about features, just security. Can't wait to see what wild excuse you'll make for Android phone makers treating you people like crap and you always keep defending them lol

Your awesome fingerprint scanners fail every single winter due to gloves. Oh, right, you don't use gloves all the time. Well, neither you wear the mask all the time.

Luxor, 25 Aug 2021Not wearing mask is not something to brag. That's why ... moreReally? Because the WHO, AMA, and every other medical group were recommending for decades that masks do not affect the spread of respiratory diseases and are useless when worn by healthy people under most circumstances. It was only after it because a political issue last summer that these organizations were pressured to change their positions. Speaking of militant, but ignorant, idiots....
And properly implemented Face ID is more secure than most fingerprint implementations, and far more reliable:

Or the fact fingerprints are all over the fancy glossy phones. The keys to unlock are literally next to the fingeprint scanner... And FaceID also checks attention. If you're looking away from screen or having eyes closed it won't even work.
