        Apple has the most convenient unlock feature, Face ID, on any phone. I use phones with fingerprint sensors and the experience is definitely inferior.

        But Apple seems to trigger a lot of strong sour grapes responses from those who don't have
        new Apple devices.

            Who thought this is a good idea? I'm literally laughing so hard right now. Just give me a fingerprint or iris scanner all day long.

                    Anonymous, 26 Aug 2021Android boys will change their tune right away when android... moreWhilst I agree with the passive biometric line. I don't think the various Android OEMS are looking seriously into facial authentication. If they were we would likely have seen more evidence of such right now.

                    Besides some dabbling by Huawei, have any of the others really looked to include a secure facial ID system since the introduction of Face ID??

                    It seems that under display fingerprint scanners are where the Android OEM's wish to go. And I'm sure given time they will get that technology to an acceptable level, it's getting better with each product generation by all accounts.

                    As to which is a better overall solution, who can say. Each user will have their own preference. I personally prefer Face ID myself, but could happily live with the alternative if required to do so. Of course in an ideal world both would be the best option 😉

Google had Project Soli that used radar to do the same thing. And they all just "gave up" for no logical reason. Well, Huawei was kinda pressured into disappearance, but I couldn't understand why Google sacked it. They had a working commercial tech and they only used it for one version and then killed it. Huh? Apple has FaceID for 4 generations now.

They badmouth it because they've been jealous for us for many years because they have to use those halfbaked underscreen scanners which failing a lot.

                        Like one said earlier, passive scanners will be the future, not something what you need to touch over and over again.

Apple is a 2 Trillion Dollar company. Vultures are everywhere constantly finding ways to gouge money from them. Patent trolls are the best examples.

                          IF what you claim is true surely a mass lawsuit should already be on the way.

                              It's also funny how everyone is still whining how FaceID is so insecure and that anything can unlock it (which is not true btw), but at the same time you demand from Apple to make FaceID less accurate and less strict to unlock even with half of face biometrics missing. Which is it? You can't have both and Apple clearly insists on accuracy over convenience.

                              As for people who actually know what they are talking about, FaceID is doable if they deploy similar image capture as OnePlus did for a short while with their main camera that could see through certain plastics. Since masks are synthetic woven fabric (essentially plastic), this could be applicable. But would most likely require new sensors and would raise privacy questions for sure. Though I don't know why you'd have your head wrapped in a scarf for privacy and want to use FaceID at the same time...

                                      I for one am happy to wait, wouldn't touch any foldable device right now with somebody else's money, let alone my own.
