I had a really disturbing conversation with a friend who said she would not “allow” her husband to have dinner with young female colleagues. Aside from the fact that she apparently can’t trust her husband if he’s off-leash, that is the kind of shit that holds women back at work. People really can work together without…

The reason you find this so ridiculous is because you will never be in a situation where a man could accuse you of any inappropriate behaviour without being laughed at, safe of you literally ripping his clothes off. You will never be accused of ‘eye raping’, making a man ‘uncomfortable’, ‘sexist’ jokes, ‘accidentally…

As inconvenient as FaceID though.

It’s about 1000X more comfortable and natural.

Go in to a Sprint Store and pick up an LG V20. See where your hand naturally rests. Your finger will fall right about where the fingerprint sensor sits. Now just exert the tiniest pressure, and boom. You’re in.

I find it hard to conceive of anyone who wouldn’t prefer…

I have owned phones with the fingerprint reader on the front and back, and the back is by far the superior placement.

Agreed. Integrate it into the power button like Sony and LG.

It worked pretty well on the nexus 5x and 6p. It was kind of nice you’d pick your phone up, put your index finger on the sensor while you pick it up and by the time you’re looking at it, it’s unlocked.

the opinion that “finger print readers on the back are inconvenient” seem to come from people who haven’t actually owned a phone like that and forget that humans have the capability to adapt. even the galaxy s8's “poor placement” isn’t bad... once you get used to it. it takes a bit, but muscle memory eventually kicks…

Apparently the author believes that is inconvenient because in order to use a fingerprint scanner, you must flip your phone over, study the back, clearly identify where the scanner is located, then remember which finger you use, then place the finger on the scanner, then flip the phone back over and pray that it…

Android makers have simply moved the scanner to the back of the device, it’s an inelegant solution. Blindly looking for the right spot to touch on the back of your phone is a minor but crucial inconvenience compared to a quick press of the home button on the front.

I don’t know, as long as your case has a cutout for it, how’s it inconvenient?

Put a fingerprint scanner on the back. Done.

I noticed that too. He was subtle, but I got the message. I could barely detect the boner he got when he wrote “In other words, the Army thinks iPhones are just better.”

They're currently running four year old Galaxy Note 2's. So yeah... a new phone (regardless of OS) will be much faster and nicer than a four year old phone.

The answer is yes. They have the most poorly organized group of app programmers. While I didn’t write their apps, it is where the problem stems from. That group is a bunch of 20-somethings for a govt. contractor working from bunker to bunker to try and fix their code. No joke... they didn’t have source control. The…

it was a 4 year old Galaxy Note II running a specialized govt app.

Aw dang, I guess “Army Updates Phones from 2012" doesn’t have as nice of a ring to it as “Army Says Android Sucks!!”

It was the Galaxy Note II, so it’s no wonder it was a little janky on a device from 2012.

I just dumped my iPhone 6 because of constant software glitches and poor build quality. I went to a Galaxy S7, and so far am very happy. It performs better and has a much better display.

Moreover, freezing is often caused by crappy software design as well. Who says that the software the military designs for the iPhone will not result in ‘freezing’. Unless the issue is completely isolated to hardware specs, it is hard to say.
