Yes it does. Where do you pull that from?

From.. the last time I tried facial recognition?
It always tried mapping my eyes to it.

Unless Apple has some cutting edge whatever, Im skeptical.

Most people buy into a contract that lets them pay far less to stick with that phone for a few years. If you don't want to do that, Apple actually has their own credit plan so you can pay off the phone incrementally.

"It does not work for me."
"Yeah it does."

What the forget mate.

so a stare is slower than a finger

you have to align your face right then you have to swipe up, as opposed to just placing your finger on a button and being good to go
and as you saw in the demo it's not as reliable

Having a beard doesn’t mean it wont work, Apple clearly explained how it exactly worked with different face appearances. And it’s not like Apple tested their Face ID system to trust it being the replacement for Touch ID on future iPhones. Neural networks and deep learning, it basically learns your face to recognize it faster and faster as you use it.

Rumor said that it didn’t require alignment, and to be honest you don’t align your face as much as you would align your face for iris scanning.
The demo fail explaination was literally on the interface as it happened, showing « Face ID requires passcode to be enabled » meaning the device was restarted shortly before without entering  passcode. It was not a reliability issue.

EDIT: Apparently, when you restart an iPhone, it explicitly mention that it need to be reactivated after restart. The message at the keynote wasn’t that, so what happened during keynote is either a glitch or disabled after several tries or too long (8 hours) stand-by time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1mAYOzEGy0

he's an under cover Apple salesman

[Drydess]

honestly unless you're holding some government secrets in your phone it just seems like a hassle in comparison to just typing a six digit code or tapping a finger

s8 already had face unlock

If you need to make payments on a phone, you don’t need to have it.

I heard the difference is the iPhone does a 3D scan and the S8 you could hold up a picture of the person

if you want me to be low key at least they aren't doing that stupid edge-screen bullstuff anymore

this post makes no sense, literally everyone around me is on contract or incremental pay for their smartphone whether it's android or an iphone
