Rip iPhone
Miss u jobs

Without jobs it's just the name...
More expensive, more exclusive hardware (come on a fuking hear plugs for 160€\$ and are worst then the 10€ Chinese copy ???)
At least Microsoft tries to adapt to the ages...

I'd argue that removing fingerprint sensors is a good idea. They're not safe. Replacing it with facial recognition though... 😩

Apple folks shouldn't be sad that they lost the fingerprint sensor. They are used to it.

They should be glad that Apple invented AirPower for them (using the F2-Key). No one has done that yet.

They should remove the swipe feature too, MS had that in the 80s.

@runfrodorun $1400&$999 for face id and for display ?
Apple r u kiddin ?

5. Removing Steve Jobs

If I am in meeting and want to check devRant... When I unlock iPhone X everyone will know.. Fingerprint seems much useful in this case...

@620hun Didn't happen on purpose, did it? (In the end, I know he was removed before)

@rareinator I mean if I want to use my phone secretly.. Sometimes when you are in a meeting & need send a text but also don't want anyone to notice you..

@runfrodorun Well, to say it's not a problem in general is just wrong. It might not be a problem for you, but for me, it's a deal breaker (the headphone jack)

@runfrodorun I do understand why they removed it, but as I'm usually charging my phone while I listen to music, it's a deal breaker. I think 1k for a phone is too much, and something I'd never pay for a phone unless I really didn't know what else to spend 1k for. Anyway, I can't find a single point that makes that start price of 1k justified if I compare to the Galaxy S8 start price when that came out.
But personally, I'm not one to complain about the pricing, as I'd never buy an iPhone. Not because of the hardware, but because of iOS. I simply find it boring 😁

@runfrodorun Oh. Didn't know that actually. I still think the whole adapter hell is annoying though. I know they're trying to push the standards towards the better, but others don't follow, which creates more problems than it solves. Unless you go full Apple eco system

I wanted to comment but held my thoughts in fear of @runfrodorun eating me out alive.

But surely not on that order

Fuckin Apple

Removing a kidney too 😂😂

How about using face ID in the dark or in the morning when you're barely awake? It's absolutely no replacement for fingerprint. Remove it if you want, but saying that it has been functionally replaced is not correct.

@Fydrenak let’s c

@htlr lol

@bittersweet If I'm not mistaken wasn't the original iPhone sensor proved to be secure beyond doubt? Perhaps there is something I'm missing, will you please elaborate?

@runfrodorun I came across a philosophy that went something like this.... Because apple is now an established business, it is harder for them to innovate and even counterintuitive as they may end up disrupting the very market they dominate so well.

This also goes inline with what you are saying, when apple makes a bold claim, they put their testing, time and resources behind it without a doubt. They simply cannot afford to be wrong or soft due to their position.

On a side note, take what Google did with the Google calendar on web for instance. It took them forever to update it to material design, in large part (or so I hear) to the g suite that professional Google teams use. They had to launch a version of Google Calendar that would be well received and was ironed out. If not, serious issues would arise from important customers.

@eArshdeep It's not the sensor that's the problem, it's the fingerprint itself.

A fingerprint (or any biometric data for that matter) is a username, not a password. You can't change it when it's compromised. And it's easily compromised, you leave a trail of fingerprints everywhere you go — even on your phone itself. So if you lose sight of your phone, there's no guarantee that a malicious person can't unlock it, steal information, maybe even make payments.

Sadly the most secure methods are also the least convenient: Long passwords, complex pattern unlocks.
Maybe soon implants could help.

How are poor people important, also I think that for ever phone the sell they make some one a grand less rich creating more poor people.
