iPhone X - something you should know

[Strawberry]

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the shit out of my Note 8 while Apple fans are stuck to their inferior phones.
Note 8 is an absolute monster! It's huge, it's beautiful, the screen is fantastic. It can be compared to sex, drugs and alcohol.

No one gives a fuck what you have tbh.

So saw this vid from unbox therapy about the quick charge capabilities of the iphone x. Found it interesting.

May cause blindness?

old but what's up?

^ The S6 doesn't even have IP68, infact its not IP certified, atleast do some research before you join the 9gag bandwagon shit.

Edit: the newer generation Galaxy's have 12MP camera's instead of 16MP, I wonder why...

What's funny is if you look only at (some) specs and ignore real-world performance, you can make the Google Pixel look like crap when compared to the S6.

Uh, that picture isn't correct... you know that, right? For one, the iPhone X has a much larger processor than the Galaxy S6.

I wouldn't imagine the full thing is true and that there would be a lot of bias but that part isn't necessarily wrong. It just says X has 6 cores (which it does) and that S6 has 8 (which it does) not that the amount of cores equate to more power.

But I am curious, what else is incorrect?

Out of all people, you obviously do because you cared to reply.
Thanks for being my fan #1.

I have a few questions:
- Why is thickness compared?
- 12MP vs 16MP is compared, but the new S8 has a, you guessed it, 12MP camera. So, why compare the two at all if even Samsung can't keep up with "2015 specs"?
- Speaking of cutting-edge "2015 specs", Palm's Pre in 2009 had the option of wireless charging. Giving Apple crap for waiting until 2017 (something Google might not even do if you believe some rumors on the Pixel 2), when Samsung themselves waited 6 years? Seems a little petty.
- If "MOAR CORES MEANS IT'S BETTER" isn't accurate, why compare the two?
- Why compare RAM, when Apple has been able to keep up (and even out-perform) Android devices with more RAM, thanks to optimization and management?
- What's the allure of having a screen above 1080p if you're not strapping it into a VR headset? How close do you hold your phone to your face?

a 30 min charge point is great for apple, usually iphones take like 3-4 hours to charge depending on the version you have, but apple not including the cable in the box is some shady shit. making customers pay an extra $50-70 for extra components is nonsense

Say what? My 6S takes an hour. Maybe if you had one of the first phone and trying to charge it these days. >.<

iPhone X is pure overpriced gimmick, nothing more nothing less. They messed up having the phone ready to go for presentation time. About the only failure they had. I still wouldn't buy it to save my life. They make a lot off accessories. By now, in 2017 one should never be surprised about Apple not including certain things. I'm still bitter losing out on recharging base...

Apple devices tend to be quite buggy, i wouldn't be surprised if a perfect picture causes it to unlock, or if an apple update causes the feature to stop working entirely.

I've not encountered any single person who have had a buggy device. If going by online forums, you should know you'll see more problems than those without. It's true in the past some updates have bricked a small number of peoples iPhone. But that's about it.

So... a crude mask WILL work then. See, I specifically focussed on image recognition and 3D techniques during my studies, and have done quite a bit in the field in my spare time.. Not for security systems, but the underlying math is all the same. ANY face recognition will have to honor a certain level of "data blur" to account for naturally occuring differences over short periods in a face and lighting and perspective reasons. I'm basically 100% certain by now that we're going to see a lot of videos once the phone hit the market where people unlock it with all kinds of contraptions - none of which will take millions of years to make, most importantly.

I'm not convinced that a mask will be impossible to make, but keep in mind that they specifically tested it on masks with Hollywood mask makers so I'm not sure it will be as simple as you make it sound. It will be interesting to see how people break it once it's out in the wild, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Whether it will be feasible is more important than whether it's possible ("please hold still while I create a mold of your face to break into your phone...").

I'm not really interested in biometrics to unlock my phone in general though, I don't use the fingerprint sensor either.

I don't really understand the obsession with buying every new edition of your phone of choice that comes out. I guess if you have the disposable income and wanna drop $500+ at least once a year, more power to you, but I only upgrade when I need to. Does it make calls, access the internet, take pictures, function as a navigation system of sorts, and allow me to deposit checks at my bank? If so, I'm good with it. Bonus points if it runs Pokemon go for when I'm in a bigger town and bored.

I wouldn't even use facial recognition software; passcode works fine for me.

[Trifle]

See, if it really was able for the phone to be that accurate with its recognition, what stops anyone from making a capture device capable of the very same thing for face-data-acquisition? Pair that with a neato top of the line 3D printer and some art skills, and you'll have your working replica within months at worst. Compared to tens of thousands of years for a proper password. Please, how can anyone assume face-recognition to be superior?

Like I said I'm not really in favour of it anyway. Interestingly, researcher's did pretty much what you're proposing for the fingerprint scanner and got that working. You do need access to the original finger though, so I guess in theory the face is less secure in that you can probably scan it fairly accurately at a distance.

The just make phones to sell their real product: Dongles.

Apple is a dongle company guys......

The part where his fear false apart on why it won't work he even say's it may take them months if someone is willing to put in months of effort to get into your phone most likely little will stop them from doing it.

Some good questions

Apparently you had to come here and tell everyone how great ur super duper awesome phone is, while it has nothing to do with this topic.

Calling me moron made you lose the argument once again.

What happens when iPhone X fails to recognize your face? Do you need to go to apple to unlock it?
