IphoneX damn..

[57stratdawg]

Looks awesome. Also introduced the IPhone 8 today.

Threads worthless without pics or links

 

[Xenomorph]

Look how freakin big it is, man!!1!

 

[57stratdawg]

They're live introducing it right now.

No home button on X.
Unlocks by facial recognition.
Edge to Edge display.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Quite a bit bigger than my 7+**

 

[Xenomorph]

Damn thing unlocks with facial recognition. Well that's not creepy at all. **

 

[BigMotherTucker]

A) do I have to hold that thing up to my face if I'm driving to open it??
B) without a thumb sensor... How the hell do I use my apple pay at the vending machine??

 

[engie]

Apple Watch 3 is the one I'm most excited about. LTE now, so you can roll with it and leave the phone behind and still get all of the basic functions. Also locks it into the full apple music library to leave the phone behind while exercising.

Damn thing unlocks with facial recognition. Well that's not creepy at all. **

So now you'll see folks driving (swerving) down the road with a phone in front of their faces. Great. **

 

[Shamoan]

this one has extra app storage.

I just hope it will recognize my face a higher percentage of the time it recognizes my thumb.

 

[Xenomorph]

Apple Pay (which I freaking love) works with facial recognition too.

 

[dawgstudent]

When did you switch from samsung/android?

 

[Xenomorph]

Really?.. Touch ID is lightening fast for me. Absolutely milliseconds. I guess YMMV.

 

[patdog]

Oh, it's fast when it works. Which is most of the time. But sometimes it just doesn't recognize my thumb and I say 17 it and enter my passcode.

 

[engie]

I just hope it will recognize my face a higher percentage of the time it recognizes my thumb.

I have a bit of trouble with it too, depending on what I'm doing. My hands take a beating though(and when I'm working on something is when I have the most trouble), so this way is a big improvement for me...

Not super crazy about the glass back for wireless charging(it stands to reason we won't be able to use cases on there and keep the charging working). Will be interesting to see how they address it.

Mine doesn't work for ****. I don't even try it anymore.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Earlier this year when the 7+ came out... I wanted my phone, MacBook, iMac, wife's phone, and kids iPod touch to all intergrate. And they do. We are able to share apps, music, videos and most importantly... ONE charger for all our mobile devices. It sucked when we went to LA a few years ago and I was the only dumbass with and android and my wife packed my charger with my check luggage. Anyway... We're all squared away under one system now. I haven't looked back since.

 

[dawgstudent]

Why are you thumbs so dirty? Wait, don't answer.

 

[Xenomorph]

The only time it won't work for me is when I'm running and my hands are sweaty. Then sometimes I can't even swipe and use the screen.

 

[57stratdawg]

My touchID is damn near instantaneous. I'm worried the FaceID won't be as fast.

 

[Xenomorph]

HO LEE ****... costs a grand...

 

[patdog]

Well done.

 

[57stratdawg]

I do the 'rent' from Apple. I'm sure it'll be $75 per month or so.

ETA: 'X' for 256gigs will be $56. That's not bad.

 

[Fogdog]

Facial recognition works for apple pat, too.

A) do I have to hold that thing up to my face if I'm driving to open it??
B) without a thumb sensor... How the hell do I use my apple pay at the vending machine??

It seems harder to press your face against the phone rather than your thumb. Oh well, gotta stay secure.*

No Shave November would be a blast.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

The great thing is that it hovers just behind you.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

If I have any (ANY) moisture on my thumb at all, it will not work.

 

[57stratdawg]

Anyone else notice that AppleTV will be showing live Sports programming too?

 

[ShrubDog]

Apple building the data base of biometrics.

Faces will be hacked...

I'm not sure you are understanding this one*

 

[57stratdawg]

I think that's called Instagram**

 

[aTotal360]

$1150 for the 256GB.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Don't worry. They will get bought up quick.

Unless you put your iPhone away the entire time you are growing the beard, Apple got you fam! It isn't using a camera for facial recognition, it actually has an infrared dot projector and it "paints" your face with dots that can determine distance and heat. It also adjusts for things like beards, glasses, hats, etc. It actually looks pretty bad ***.

Mine too. And I have a life proof case on mine.

if it gets slow or doesn't work, try redo your prints. Also just don't repeatedly place down your thumb in the same position. Take it from the sides and at an angle.
