Girls pants deserve large pockets. That's all I can really say, especially because foldables are inherently thicker than the traditional smartphones and Samsung still makes them.

Thickness if I'm not mistaken, rolling it up would make it not fit in the tiny back pocket of girls already rediculously tight pants for example.

Actually think this could be useful. Though I wonder if this is going to be a laptop that will require lots of repairs with the moving mechanism.

But how’s it different? It’s already built in.

Many tvs already have this tech. I don’t see it as much of an issue with monitors (many have a physical cover for this very reason). The real reason for ‘hiding’ the camera isn’t to make it easier to spy on us (they can do that already, if that was the goal), it’s instead to give the screen full coverage, without any dynamic islands or cutouts, etc.

I get your point, but we’re already past the privacy possibility, now it’s a matter of aesthetics.

Does it work? I’d like to read more about that.

So in three years Apple will debut technology that is out now. Sounds like Apple to me.

Yet another concept device of a screen that can increase and decrease in size, much like a foldable phone, but without a crease in the screen. It makes me wonder why companies like samsung are leaning so hard into the clamshell design of their phones instead of embracing this seemingly better option.

I mean people have already been able to trick iPhone cameras to unlock FaceID. And if they wanted to deepfake my voice, they’d have to find recordings of me(which are probably less common than pictures of me). I don’t have an active social media presence.

The button sensor was fast and reliable. You could also use it discretely, under a table or in your lap during meetings, while FaceID it's trickier.

That IR paper or whatever it is is pretty cheap though.

With deepfakes, I would worry about voice ID

Could be nice to have both TouchID & FaceID so you could use whichever is convenient at the time

Yeah both have their pros and cons. Like I would have loved to have touchID during Covid when mask use was a necessity or at night when the room is dark. FaceID is useful when you can’t use your hands. I wonder if VoiceID could be a thing. Feels like I’d solve both of those.

I'm speaking more to how the tech may be applied to other devices in the future, like to PC monitors or TVs

More like a 280W-ish demo...

I'm guessing like 25 Schmeckles.

In all fairness TouchID doesn’t work in some situations either - like gloves or wet hands

That’s with the under display cameras of today. With AI post processing and the work to get more space between pixels, it’ll become seamless.

I seriously thought that was a ariel view of a city.lol

I suppose, but how many people are truly taping their phone’s cameras?
