*The latest news is that third parties can nab face scan data on the new Iphone x. Customers are 'protected' by giving consent a fine print click-thu on their game (everybody they know is playing it).*

Wow! You mean when the OS clearly and boldly says *X app would like to use your camera (Accept) (Deny) and you choose "Accept", the app can actually use your camera to take pictures of you!

How does Apple "get" biometric data? The data that Apple uses you unlock your phone never leaves the device. Even if Apple did get it, what use would it be to them?

I haven't met a single person in over 10 years that bought a computer, everyone built their own.

You canâ(TM)t believe your anecdotal experience is representative of anything. Especially since over the last decade at least, more people are buying laptops than desktops

I bet âoeyou donâ(TM)t own a tv either (tm)â.

I have an iPad 1 that I rediscovered after moving earlier this year. I reset it and I was able to download the âoelast compatible versionâ of apps. It currently has Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Google Drive, Plex, Spotify, Pages and Numbers running well. I used Google Drive to read PDF.s. The built in apps work well except for Safari. Safari Is painful with 256Kb of RAM.

My 6s came out with iOS 9 and runs iOS 11 well.

But would you prefer the alternative? Android devices often donâ(TM)t get updated at all and never after 2 years.

Netflix $10.99

Comcast
$10 âoeHd technology feeâ
$10 Each cable box rental
$5 Network Access Fee
$5 Sports Access Fee - not optional
Etc....

Unless âoehipsterismâ is a worldwide phenomenon, he was referring to the US. So are 50% of mobile phone users in the US skinny jean wearing, hipsters?

Yes because close to 50% of all cell phone users must be hipsters....

based on the fact that the iPhone 5S was released in 2013 and doesn't support iOS 11, the current version).

iOS 11 supports all 64 bit iOS devices - including the 5s.

but if T-Mobile were to actively work on solidifying their coverage they could change that perception and really have some ground to stand on as a competitor.

Serving highly populated areas cheaply is T-Mobile's competitive advantage. Building out infrastructure in rural areas where they would have to spread the fixed cost among fewer people would cause them to raise rates. They compete on price. Verizon competes on coverage.

That type of precise measurement only exists with direct response advertisement as opposed to brand marketing.

That doesn't stop "rubber hose decryption" -- beating you until you unlock the password. Do you think that all police are so above board they wouldn't do that ?

It used regular image recognition that could be fooled by a picture and didn't take a 3D image, it didn't work in the dark, it wouldn't work with glasses, hats, etc.

If I remember correctly, it stored the image unprotected and was accessible by any app instead of being stored correctly.

The Samsung implementation was nowhere near as advanced.

"They" have never had this feature. This wasn't an Apple feature. It was a third party feature that worked only on jail broken devices.

I actually watched someone unlock an iDevice with another iDevice by showing it their employee roster picture from our company website..

How? This is the first "iDevice" that has had facial unlock?
