Of course this problem is nowhere on the same level as the Note 7. Of course it’s not. But it’s pretty damn annoying that every Apple loving blogger feels the need to dig up the Note 7 issue just to try to paint Apple in a better light. This is still looking like a pretty terrible screw-up and Apple shouldn’t get a…

I don’t blame Rhett. He’s just a ignorant, misguided fool who thinks a corporation somehow cares about him. I blame the editors at Gizmodo who gave this guy a job and continue to allow his “Tumblr teenager” style posts.

Judging by how triggered the Apple faithful are it’s clear that Google had a good day. It’s ok, calm down and ask Siri to sing you a lullaby.

Well then can they PLEASE use this for that picture they keep showing of the Las Vegas shooter. I’m not saying they should try to “make him look better”, but the it’s damn stupid to keep passing around a photo of him with his eyes closed.

It must take into account failures in a certain time period because I click my home button with an incorrect finger to check the time all the time on my 7 Plus and I’ve never triggered the passcode. Apparently they’ve thought that through.

Apparently Android users are such idiots that they forget where a button is while the glorious iPhone users can trigger the home button while in their pocket.

It is something I am sure Apple thought of and have tried to prevent

Right, because we all use our phones in vacuum with no other faces around...

Kinda exactly what I said...

So a random person just looking at your phone is a failed unlock attempt. And just two random failures forces a PIN. Yup, sounds right.

No, but I expect someone to be able to look towards my phone without the phone treating them like an intruder. You’re painting this picture of everyone who is near your phone is a sinister person trying to get at our data. Apple’s response was that the phone activated the facial scan for people who weren’t trying to…

Where your argument falls apart is at the “trying to unlock” part. Apparently the bar for “trying to unlock” has been lowered to just having your face anywhere near the phone while it is being held.

many people were trying to unlock HIS phone

Yeah, it “worked” as in Face ID functioned as designed. If failed the real world test. The fact that it even registered failed attempts at all is a problem. How would you feel if your current iPhone registered multiple failed fingerprints while it was in your pocket and forced PIN entry? Yeah, working as…

I think of one real world example just off the top of my head. Many people use their phone as their “watch”. Every time you pull your phone out of your pocket to check to the time you have to be sure you hold it at an angle to see your face. Otherwise it may pick up someone else’s and count that as a failed unlock.…

If your phone gets passed around at a party where everyone is looking at it, wouldn’t you prefer that it require a passcode once it gets back to you?

Nope. Apple itself has come out and said that it required a PIN because there were numerous unlock failures before the presentation. Just like Touch ID requires a PIN if there are too many failed fingerprint unlocks. So yeah, Face ID failed during the keynote because too many people looked at the phone. Let that…

Beware of the surface you use those magnetic hooks on. I bought a couple (different seller) to use on my stainless fridge and they scratched the hell out of it because the magnet sits inside the rounded base leaving the metal in direct contact with the surface when used.

Which means everyone will do it or else reviewers will harp about it

The iPhone Has Wireless Charging. Now What?
