Re: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

2021-10-06 Thread Angie Nutt
In the main, FaceID has worked better for me than TouchID but neither 100 per 
cent. I also find that with faceID I have to hold the phone further away than 
I’d like if I’m on a bus. In that case, when it worked, TouchID was better. On 
balance though, prefer faceID.

All the best
Angie

Yeah I do,

I've never been able to get it to work properly,

I'm going to update / grade my watch in a week or so when the series 7 comes 
out,

 Then I'll try it again.

I probably missed a step in the setup process.

Well, I have been using Face ID for close to a year. I can state one fat 
categorically. Touch ID worked essentially 100% of the time for me. Face ID 
does not. It works the majority of the time, but certainly not always. Wow I 
can live with Face ID, I do hope that Apple comes out with a touch ID option. 
Even if it’s not an actual button, I would still like to see them implement 
that. If they don’t, I can live with it, however.

I have face id working flawlessly. Even the mask isn't an issue as I have the 
apple watch, and have it set to unlock my phone in the event it can't recognize 
my face.

It wouldn't be especially if you turn off attention mode and since you haven't 
used an iPhone without a home button I would say reserve your judgement you 
might be surprised. I find Face Id is much more reliable than Touch Id.

Just so I'm clear, I'm by no means saying that just because I miss the home 
button doesn't mean I couldn't operate a phone without one, I just like it, 
that's all.  I have not used a phone with face ID yet, as I have the latest SE 
Version that I upgraded to from my 8.  With that being said, I do like the 
touch ID and was just posing the question if face ID is harder to use for a 
person who's blind.  I ask because the nature of my eye conditions makes my 
eyes move on their own and I was wondering if that'd cause a problem with 
facial recognition.
I would however miss not being able to just touch my phone to unlock it and 
always having to pick it up and put it in front of my face to unlock it.

Yeah 

I saw this a week or so back,

I was surprised that they came out with it so soon after the 13 release.

I'm still more interested in the folding iphone than the 14 or 15

Subject: RE: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

I wouldn't say this although I just read an article which summarized some of 
the recently leaked rumours about the iPhone 14 by John Prosser and Ming-Chi 
Kuo who have a record of accurately predicting a lot of future features and 
there is no word about touch Id until the iPhone 15.
The main thing with the iPhone 14 is a very different design which means no 
more camera bump because the phone would be slightly thicker, there would be no 
more notch in front and a Titanium frame with glass front and back and of 
course the new 48 Megapixel camera which is 4 times the pixels of even the 
iPhone 13 Pro camera. Here is one article with what we can look forward to over 
the next 3 years:

Top Apple insider leaks first iPhone 15 details and foldable iPhone release 
timing

The great thing about iPhone rumors is that they never end. Case in point: 
we’re not even a week removed from Apple introducing the iPhone 13 and we’re 
already starting to see rumors surrounding the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. Just 
last week, for example, noted leaker Jon Prosser revealed that Face ID sensors 
on the iPhone 14 will be located below the display. Additionally, Prosser says 
there will be a punch-hole selfie camera.
Prosser has something of a hit-and-miss track record with respect to Apple 
rumors. With that in mind, it’s probably wise to take the report with a grain 
of salt. Ming-Chi Kuo, however, is without question the top Apple analyst 
working today. Kuo typically can glean information about Apple’s product 
roadmap years in advance. With that said, Kuo recently issued a doozy of an 
investor report with details surrounding the iPhone 15 and the mythical 
foldable iPhone.

iPhone 15 features
Apple’s iPhone 15 is admittedly two years away, but it’s no secret that Apple 
prepares its feature-set years ahead of time. To that end, Kuo — via 
AppleInsider — writes that the iPhone 15 will feature a Touch ID sensor 
underneath the display. We’ve seen several credible reports over the past few 
months pointing to Apple’s interest in bringing back Touch ID. In fact, Apple 
has filed several patents pertaining to under-display fingerprint sensor 
technologies. There’s also a chance Apple will add a Touch ID sensor to the 
iPhone 15 power button.
Assuming that an iPhone with Touch ID is in the pipeline, it remains to be seen 
if Apple plans to eliminate Face ID or have the two authentication schemes 
coexist.

Foldable iPhone
Beyond the 2023 iPhone 15, Kuo writes that a foldable iPhone will arrive in 
2024. That means we can likely look forward to an iPhone Fold release date in 
September 2024, if Kuo is correct. We’ve seen several reports pointing to 
Apple’s interest in a foldable iPhone in recent years. The success Samsung has 
had with their foldable smartphones demonstrates that there is a market for 
such a device. According to Kuo, a foldable iPhone will likely feature an 
8-inch display with a “3,200 x 1,800-pixel resolution.”
A few months ago, Prosser leaked that Apple’s foldable iPhone will boast “two 
separate display panels on a hinge” and “round, stainless steel edges.” 
Prosser’s leak describes an iPhone similar in design aesthetic to the iPhone 
11, but that may have changed given the new flatter-edge design of the iPhone 
12. Prosser also said that the foldable iPhone will not include a notch. 
Instead,  it will have a “tiny forehead” right above the display to house Face 
ID and other sensors.
“The memes are funny,” Prosser says, “but it doesn’t look like they just stuck 
two phones together. Even though they’re two separate panels, when the displays 
are extended, it looks fairly continuous and seamless.” 
Kuo says that Apple has experienced a few technical hurdles with both the 
iPhone 15 and the foldable iPhone.

I really don’t think Apple is going to utilize Touch ID in the iPhones going 
forward. Face ID works beautifully and it gets better with every release. 

Apple keeps updating patents for Touch ID which means they’re actively working 
on it, but this also means if they keep updating the patents they haven’t found 
the technology to work up to their standards.

Just my two cents on the topic.

2021-10-04 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Well, I have an iPhone 11, and I can use face ID just fine. That doesn't mean I 
prefer it over touch ID. Just because I prefer touch ID over face ID doesn't 
mean I struggle with change or don't think I can use an iPhone! I totally get 
why others may prefer face ID. Sometimes preferring one feature over another is 
just that, a simple preference based on how one uses the phone. Just because 
someone uses a phone differently from someone else or prefers one feature over 
another doesn't mean they're wrong or resistant to change or anything like 
that! I know I'm overstating things and putting words in people's mouth, but 
I'm just trying to make a simple point.

Well, I have been using Face ID for close to a year. I can state one fat 
categorically. Touch ID worked essentially 100% of the time for me. Face ID 
does not. It works the majority of the time, but certainly not always. Wow I 
can live with Face ID, I do hope that Apple comes out with a touch ID option. 
Even if it’s not an actual button, I would still like to see them implement 
that. If they don’t, I can live with it, however.

Probably all of us have the problem with moving eyes. I can work face ID with 
or without glasses, in light or dark, although I had to set it in good light. 
The guy at Wal-Mart could not get it set. I did on a bright and sunny winter 
afternoon on the west side of our building. I cannot make it work though, with 
a mask. This is one thing that could be a consideration for re-introducing 
touch ID. 

Smart people on phone lists advised turning off, I think it's called attention 
mode, something like that for better results with facial ID for a blind person.

that's all.  I have not used a phone with face ID yet, as I have the latest SE

touch ID and was just posing the question if face ID is harder to use for a

Well, I don't miss the home button, and in fact, I kind of like not having it 
get in the way of things like braille screen input. My preference for touch ID 
over face ID has nothing to do with me being blind or being a VoiceOver user. I 
just like being able to unlock my phone without having to wave it in front of 
my face, like when it S lying on the night stand or under a table top.

me touch ID. I don't know if the demand is strong enough for Apple to consider

I really don't think Apple is going to utilize Touch ID in the iPhones going 
forward. Face ID works beautifully and it gets better with every release. 

Apple keeps updating patents for Touch ID which means they're actively working 
on it, but this also means if they keep updating the patents they haven't found 
the technology to work up to their standards.

Just my two cents on the topic.

Re: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

2021-10-04 Thread Les Kriegler
Well, I have been using Face ID for close to a year. I can state one fat 
categorically. Touch ID worked essentially 100% of the time for me. Face ID 
does not. It works the majority of the time, but certainly not always. Wow I 
can live with Face ID, I do hope that Apple comes out with a touch ID option. 
Even if it’s not an actual button, I would still like to see them implement 
that. If they don’t, I can live with it, however.

Just so I'm clear, I'm by no means saying that just because I miss the home 
button doesn't mean I couldn't operate a phone without one, I just like it, 
that's all.  I have not used a phone with face ID yet, as I have the latest SE 
Version that I upgraded to from my 8.  With that being said, I do like the 
touch ID and was just posing the question if face ID is harder to use for a 
person who's blind.  I ask because the nature of my eye conditions makes my 
eyes move on their own and I was wondering if that'd cause a problem with 
facial recognition.
I would however miss not being able to just touch my phone to unlock it and 
always having to pick it up and put it in front of my face to unlock it.

I think almost all visually impaired users find the lack of a home button to be 
not a big deal once you get used to the swipe up from the bottom. For me it's 
at a point where I always try to swipe up on the iPad we have at my store 
before I remember "Oh, this has a home button". I mean what does the home 
button really do? Just 2 things, you press it once to get out of an app and go 
to the home screen and second you press it twice to bring up the app switcher. 
The triple press to start or stop Voiceover is already taken care of by triple 
pressing the side button.
As for the single and double press, instead of putting your finger on the home 
button and pressing it you put your finger on the bottom of the screen where 
you would put it anyways if you had a home button and you do a bit of a swipe 
up or a bit more of a swipe up if you want to bring up the app switcher. I 
honestly find it easier and when it come sto Touch Id, well, Face Id works 
actually better for me because I can use it when I wear gloves or when my 
fingers are messed up from woodworking. Yes, I know only a very small

his hands are full of oil and grease.. I somehow doubt Apple will once again 
replace Face Id with Touch Id and if they can implement a Touch Id home button 
like on some iPads or even better under-glass Touch Id then people have the 
best of both worlds. I think a phone which you drag around everywhere would be 
better with under-glass Touch Id because I could see where a Touch Id home 
button could get damaged.

Well, there's also customer demand. I know if all things were equal, and I had 
the option to have touch ID included, then I'd go with the phone that offered 
me touch ID. I don't know if the demand is strong enough for Apple to consider 
this, or if Apple would even take this into account. I'd also be a little

it may be because they think face ID is more secure, but they were also able to

I really don't think Apple is going to utilize Touch ID in the iPhones going 
forward. Face ID works beautifully and it gets better with every release. 

Apple keeps updating patents for Touch ID which means they're actively working 
on it, but this also means if they keep updating the patents they haven't found 
the technology to work up to their standards.

Just my two cents on the topic.

I agree, but I think there are quite a few people who have been convinced that 
they couldn’t cope without a home button by people who don’t know what they’re

Alex, we are all creatures of habit and for some change is more difficult to 
deal with than for others.
I feel the same about when people install these shells on a Windows PC, first 
they would want Windows 7 look like XP and now with Windows 10 they want 
Windows 10 to look and feel like Windows 7 where instead they could just spend 
a bit of time properly learning how to do things the Windows 10 way and be

Sieghart, I completely agree. How some blind i or Vi people act as though the 
lack of a home makes the entire device completely inaccessible.

2021-10-04 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
I think almost all visually impaired users find the lack of a home button to be 
not a big deal once you get used to the swipe up from the bottom. For me it's 
at a point where I always try to swipe up on the iPad we have at my store 
before I remember "Oh, this has a home button". I mean what does the home 
button really do? Just 2 things, you press it once to get out of an app and go 
to the home screen and second you press it twice to bring up the app switcher. 
The triple press to start or stop Voiceover is already taken care of by triple 
pressing the side button.
As for the single and double press, instead of putting your finger on the home 
button and pressing it you put your finger on the bottom of the screen where 
you would put it anyways if you had a home button and you do a bit of a swipe 
up or a bit more of a swipe up if you want to bring up the app switcher. I 
honestly find it easier and when it come sto Touch Id, well, Face Id works 
actually better for me because I can use it when I wear gloves or when my 
fingers are messed up from woodworking. Yes, I know only a very small 
percentage of blind people use a table saw and other power tools, but I know a 
lot of sighted people who are in the same boat, they do a lot of manual work 
and Touch Id doesn't work for them 9 out of 10 times like for my brother who is 
a Rancher, a good friend of mine who is a mechanic and either wears gloves or 
his hands are full of oil and grease.. I somehow doubt Apple will once again 
replace Face Id with Touch Id and if they can implement a Touch Id home button 
like on some iPads or even better under-glass Touch Id then people have the 
best of both worlds. I think a phone which you drag around everywhere would be 
better with under-glass Touch Id because I could see where a Touch Id home 
button could get damaged.

Apple keeps updating patents for Touch ID which means they're actively working

2021-10-04 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
I wouldn't say this although I just read an article which summarized some of 
the recently leaked rumours about the iPhone 14 by John Prosser and Ming-Chi 
Kuo who have a record of accurately predicting a lot of future features and 
there is no word about touch Id until the iPhone 15.
The main thing with the iPhone 14 is a very different design which means no 
more camera bump because the phone would be slightly thicker, there would be no 
more notch in front and a Titanium frame with glass front and back and of 
course the new 48 Megapixel camera which is 4 times the pixels of even the 
iPhone 13 Pro camera. Here is one article with what we can look forward to over 
the next 3 years:

Top Apple insider leaks first iPhone 15 details and foldable iPhone release 
timing

The great thing about iPhone rumors is that they never end. Case in point: 
we’re not even a week removed from Apple introducing the iPhone 13 and we’re 
already starting to see rumors surrounding the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. Just 
last week, for example, noted leaker Jon Prosser revealed that Face ID sensors 
on the iPhone 14 will be located below the display. Additionally, Prosser says 
there will be a punch-hole selfie camera.
Prosser has something of a hit-and-miss track record with respect to Apple 
rumors. With that in mind, it’s probably wise to take the report with a grain 
of salt. Ming-Chi Kuo, however, is without question the top Apple analyst 
working today. Kuo typically can glean information about Apple’s product 
roadmap years in advance. With that said, Kuo recently issued a doozy of an 
investor report with details surrounding the iPhone 15 and the mythical 
foldable iPhone.

iPhone 15 features
Apple’s iPhone 15 is admittedly two years away, but it’s no secret that Apple 
prepares its feature-set years ahead of time. To that end, Kuo — via 
AppleInsider — writes that the iPhone 15 will feature a Touch ID sensor 
underneath the display. We’ve seen several credible reports over the past few 
months pointing to Apple’s interest in bringing back Touch ID. In fact, Apple 
has filed several patents pertaining to under-display fingerprint sensor 
technologies. There’s also a chance Apple will add a Touch ID sensor to the 
iPhone 15 power button.
Assuming that an iPhone with Touch ID is in the pipeline, it remains to be seen 
if Apple plans to eliminate Face ID or have the two authentication schemes 
coexist.

Foldable iPhone
Beyond the 2023 iPhone 15, Kuo writes that a foldable iPhone will arrive in 
2024. That means we can likely look forward to an iPhone Fold release date in 
September 2024, if Kuo is correct. We’ve seen several reports pointing to 
Apple’s interest in a foldable iPhone in recent years. The success Samsung has 
had with their foldable smartphones demonstrates that there is a market for 
such a device. According to Kuo, a foldable iPhone will likely feature an 
8-inch display with a “3,200 x 1,800-pixel resolution.”
A few months ago, Prosser leaked that Apple’s foldable iPhone will boast “two 
separate display panels on a hinge” and “round, stainless steel edges.” 
Prosser’s leak describes an iPhone similar in design aesthetic to the iPhone 
11, but that may have changed given the new flatter-edge design of the iPhone 
12. Prosser also said that the foldable iPhone will not include a notch. 
Instead,  it will have a “tiny forehead” right above the display to house Face 
ID and other sensors.
“The memes are funny,” Prosser says, “but it doesn’t look like they just stuck 
two phones together. Even though they’re two separate panels, when the displays 
are extended, it looks fairly continuous and seamless.” 
Kuo says that Apple has experienced a few technical hurdles with both the 
iPhone 15 and the foldable iPhone.

Well, I don't miss the home button, and in fact, I kind of like not having it 
get in the way of things like braille screen input. My preference for touch ID 
over face ID has nothing to do with me being blind or being a VoiceOver user. I 
just like being able to unlock my phone without having to wave it in front of 
my face, like when it
S lying on the night stand or under a table top.

RE: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

2021-10-04 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Well, there's also customer demand. I know if all things were equal, and I had 
the option to have touch ID included, then I'd go with the phone that offered 
me touch ID. I don't know if the demand is strong enough for Apple to consider 
this, or if Apple would even take this into account. I'd also be a little 
skeptical about reading Apple's reasons why they don't include touch ID. Sure, 
it may be because they think face ID is more secure, but they were also able to 
get rid of the home button and a finger print scanner. It'll be interesting to 
see if they consider in screen touch ID in the future.

I really don't think Apple is going to utilize Touch ID in the iPhones going 
forward. Face ID works beautifully and it gets better with every release. 

Apple keeps updating patents for Touch ID which means they're actively working 
on it, but this also means if they keep updating the patents they haven't found 
the technology to work up to their standards.

Just my two cents on the topic.

This was mentioned in a mac rumours release 

They believe the under screen touch id will be in the 2023 release of the 
iPhone and a folding iPhone in 2024

Re: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

2021-09-23 Thread Mohib Anwar Rafay
Could anyone suggest me any physical keypad usable with iPhone 12
Mini? I want a portable pocket size keypad to use it on the go.

Re: This is why you should wait for the iPhone 14

2021-09-23 Thread Kelly Pierce
Links worked fine. My comment was for those holding their breath for
the iPhone 14. Their beloved fingerprint reader will not be happening.
For those of us who crave small phones, jump on the iPhone 13 before
it goes away.  It’s double the storage of last year’s 12 for the same
price.

Kelly,
Are you sending this to show that the links broke up on you?
The links worked fine for me in Outlook on my computer.
Are you set to read HTML eemails?
