Well, see my use case of using it in the dark and the phone needing to increase brightness to maybe work vs. an IR projector just working regardless

And 2D imaging is easier to fool and 3D. That's just like a fact all you need to do is think about for a sec to prove, and can google if you want further verification

Not only that but in other poor lighting (dim, bright, odd shadows) conditions 2D fails significantly more often than 3D

It's like super neet 2013 tech apparently works flawlessly 100% for the time for you. But that is not the majority experience and most Android users don't even bother with 2D facial recognition due to the issues in reliability and responsiveness, let alone diminished security. Some Pixel users being the outliers since they have proper facial recognition

Deep Purple should stay in the lineup

Well that seems like a needless insult. I wasn't trying to make you feel dumb or bad or anything silly like that just because you prefer the oval, I'm just trying to properly understand your argument. Which as far as I can tell, relies on my ONLY relying on face ID to login. I do both, face and finger, so I can use the finger in the dark, no need to blind myself or whatever ridiculous scenario you were trying to imagine up to prove that the oval is worth it.

we can tell you’re very confused. let’s just end it here

I just want it to have USB-C.

HDR games and movies on the iPad?

Maybe you should have included your OS version in your Google search and save yourself some headache? Google also has a "tools" option to let you only see results from the past week/month/year/etc you can use so you don't follow outdated guides

You're welcome

Lol, u/Robot_Embryo blocked me after leaving his comment. All I wanted to do was teach a self proclaimed "tech savvy" person how to use Google

We are talking about the dumb little notch the camera takes up right? How isn't my Android one reliable or responsive? Is it not working immediately every time like I thought it was? It's not like I have to rescan my face or finger every time, gets it right the first time, every time. Very confused.

My favorite part is how you've focused on just the security and left the increased reliability and responsiveness completely untouched lol

Again, an IR solution is just better across the board man. It's why Windows Hello doesn't certify webcam only solutions, and why extra hardware is worth it unless your single issue is aesthetics. It's nice having facial recognition that doesn't need to blind you in the dark to work

Check YOUR reading comprehension.

I read through 3 different detailed guides, and each one CONTRADICTED one another, because this silly little option-toggle getting moved around when OS was updated.

In the end, I was never able to toggle it off, because on the that version of iOS (the most recent at the time, Spring 2021) on that iPad had a bug, and the option toggle was disabled.

A tech savvy person shouldn't need to comb through guides to find an parameter toggle as trivial as that; the option should been under App Store settings. THAT would be the intuitive place to change an App Store parameter, but instead, it was buried somewhere in the phone master settings.

Well if I were prone to losing my phone, I might be more worried about it's security. But the fingerprint and face scanning work great, and my 15 years of having smartphones has never resulted in any of my shit getting broken into or stolen.

I totally get why people who are careless might be more worried about having the latest and greatest protection, but the reality is, most people should do more than great without losing sleep with what modern Androids offer.

I mean that's cool and all, but the Apple/Pixel approach is just objectively better, more reliable, more secure, and works under more circumstances and there's currently no way of fitting it into a hole punch is the only point I was making. It's nice that the 2013 approach to facial recognition is all you need (my S4 in highschool used the same setup) but that's not the case for everyone

Thanks bot

Honestly, I'll take the less sophisticated Android tech over the Apple version if it means I get the hole punch over the oval. It's not like the Android tech is failing me in any way on this matter.

Apples FaceID is indeed more sophisticated than the Galaxy in order to make it both more secure and more reliable, as well as enable it to work under more conditions. Such as in a completly dark room without the need to increase the phone brightness

From facing camera vs. an IR projector and receiver are wildly different things when it comes to facial recognition

I mean my Galaxy can unlock with my face ID with just the small dot. Perhaps it's not as sophisticated as Apple's Face ID tracking? I dunno, but no one but me has been able to get in my phone with their face, so it's certainly doing it's job as far as my needs are concerned.

End of story. That's all she wrote. This is what apple users have to look forward to. Sad. And maybe an m3 chip to check your Hotmail and do wordle faster. This is where the science of marketing and coasting collide.

I can't believe people allow apple to dictate what's cool.

If you're spending that much time on something that simple you need to improve your Googling, reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills man

So is brown next?

Until under screen sensors and cameras improve, I don't think Apple can offer a camera and FaceID in just a hole punch

That pink and blue look atrocious. Hopefully it’s more of a pastel

I still have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I like to use it with out a case a lot of the time but it does get slippery. I have very sweaty hands.
