There are gloves you can use with modern touch screens. The finger tips 
allow for electric conduction through the material. I don't have a pair 
myself, but others living farther north have talked about them on list. 
I'm sure you can search for them on the web.

I understand that Touch ID allows for ease of use of your iPhone, and

a low vision person, I would be very disturbed if I could see someone’s pocket 
bulging and moving. That would be disturbing and I might not talk to that 
person because I would not know what they were up to, so please consider this 
when you say you do not want people to judge you for using your phone in your 
pocket. I do think though that it would be cool if there was on screen 
fingerprinting for users who would like to use a Braille display or some other 
device, One workaround though is to use the Braille keyboard or a Bluetooth 
keyboard to enter a passcode, so it is not to bad.



Also, as a low vision user, I have to use attention mode off on Face ID 
but otherwise, I think it is very easy to use. I also think that Face ID is 
very secure, and I would recommend that people use it over just a passcode or 
no security at all.



I think that we will see new security technologies in the future, but 
until then, I think we have a great solution for now.

snap up an iPhone X last year when Face Id was brand new and just as with first

Hi Juan, 
Having face id and finger print reader options, well, that's now cool!  LOL!  
That's what I call choice!  Just out of curiosity, how did your wife set up the 
finger print reader option? I would like that myself.

I think it has gotten pretty silly. the fact is, the IPhone has no home 
button and is using face id. Some like it and some don't. No one is being 
forced to own one without a finger print ID.

Hi Simon and All,
Wow, so you think someone should be shot!  LOL!  Smile!  I think this face 
id issue is well blown out of proportion.  Some people are thinking they 
have to move their head around and around to unlock their phone, this is not 
the case at all.  The only time someone will have to move their head around 
is during the face id set up process , and then just look at the phone when 
you want to unlock it.  If you want to unlock the phone while in your 
pocket, try lifting the phone out of your pocket, and look down at it, and 
place it back in your pocket.  Just a thought, so please don't shoot me, 
just trying to help.  I do have face id set up on my xr phone, and I did set 
it up myself.  The face id feature will walk you through the set up process, 
meaning it will tell you to turn your head to the right or to the left, or 
to look down, or to look at the screen etc. When I unlock my phone, I press 
the power button, and look at the phone, and the majority of the time it 
will unlock, but I've noticed if I don't look directly at the phone, it will 
not unlock, and I tried that just to see if it would really unlock if I 
wasn't looking directly at the phone.  Now, it does annoy me rather I look 
directly at the phone or not, and it will still ask me for my security code, 
but from my understanding from Apple, this is how the face id feature is set 
up, and the reason is for security purposes, in which I can appreciate, but 
still annoying at the sametime though.

Not really sure what the argument is here. Nothing wrong with people choosing

Also, once someone told me that others might think I look weird using my phone

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread janet gross
Hi Simon and All, 
Wow, so you think someone should be shot!  LOL!  Smile!  I think this face id 
issue is well blown out of proportion.  Some people are thinking they have to 
move their head around and around to unlock their phone, this is not the case 
at all.  The only time someone will have to move their head around is during 
the face id set up process , and then just look at the phone when you want to 
unlock it.  If you want to unlock the phone while in your pocket, try lifting 
the phone out of your pocket, and look down at it, and place it back in your 
pocket.  Just a thought, so please don't shoot me, just trying to help.  I do 
have face id set up on my xr phone, and I did set it up myself.  The face id 
feature will walk you through the set up process, meaning it will tell you to 
turn your head to the right or to the left, or to look down, or to look at the 
screen etc. When I unlock my phone, I press the power button, and look at the 
phone, and the majority of the time it will unlock, but I've noticed if I don't 
look directly at the phone, it will not unlock, and I tried that just to see if 
it would really unlock if I wasn't looking directly at the phone.  Now, it does 
annoy me rather I look directly at the phone or not, and it will still ask me 
for my security code, but from my understanding from Apple, this is how the 
face id feature is set up, and the reason is for security purposes, in which I 
can appreciate, but still annoying at the sametime though.   
Janet

Not really sure what the argument is here. Nothing wrong with people choosing 
not to use their smart phone eyes free for whatever reason.
Also, once someone told me that others might think I look weird using my phone 
in my pocket then I'm free to do whatever I want and it's really no one else's 
business after that.


BTW, one of the things I liked about my Nokia running Symbian with Talks and 
using the T9 interface was how easy it was to use with one hand and without 
ever having to pull it out of my pocket.

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread Michael Doise
Good morning everyone, I felt that I need to put my two cent in on this topic.



I understand that Touch ID allows for ease of use of your iPhone, and we should 
not have to feel that we are doing something wrong by using a phone in our 
pockets, but lets look at it from the perspective of someone sighted. As a low 
vision person, I would be very disturbed if I could see someone’s pocket 
bulging and moving. That would be disturbing and I might not talk to that 
person because I would not know what they were up to, so please consider this 
when you say you do not want people to judge you for using your phone in your 
pocket. I do think though that it would be cool if there was on screen 
fingerprinting for users who would like to use a Braille display or some other 
device, One workaround though is to use the Braille keyboard or a Bluetooth 
keyboard to enter a passcode, so it is not to bad.



Also, as a low vision user, I have to use attention mode off on Face ID but 
otherwise, I think it is very easy to use. I also think that Face ID is very 
secure, and I would recommend that people use it over just a passcode or no 
security at all.



I think that we will see new security technologies in the future, but until 
then, I think we have a great solution for now.

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Having the choice once Touch Id is available to work anywhere on the screen 
would be ideal. Simon, I'm sure Apple hasn't consulted blind horseback riders 
which I assume do not make up a large number of Apple's customers, but also 
remember that there are a lot of people who probably love Face Id because it 
works so much better for them than Touch Id. If I have a project going in my 
woodworking shop I can usually forget Touch Id for a week afterwards because I 
may have little scratches or cuts on my fingers along with maybe a bit of glue 
or wood finish which comes off gradually, but it's enough for Touch Id to not 
work. Think of all the thousands of sighted people who are manual workers, who 
need to wear gloves or simply all of us in the northern regions where you have 
to wear gloves because it's cold for a good part of the year. Here Face Id is 
much more convenient.

Sieghard

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
If Apple offers both it may not be this fall, but I wouldn't be surprised if it 
were in the Fall of 2020. Qualcom has just announced their Snapdragon 855 chip 
which supports fingerprint unlock by putting your finger anywhere on the screen 
and Android phones are expected to adopt it this year. Apple designs their own 
chip and, once again if this is part of what they want to offer, I'm sure it's 
well on the way. Of course if Face Id is what Apple decides they want to push 
then just as with the 3.5mm headphone jack no amount of consumer grumbling will 
change their mind. By the way, I remember a few people who like Jed with Face 
Id hated Touch Id when it came out and insisted that it simply was not working 
for them.
My advice to Jed would be to get some help in setting it up and learning how to 
use it. It seems to work perfectly fine for most others hence I assume it 
really is simply because he is not setting it up and using it correctly. Once 
again, this is not meant in a negative way, but I also know people who for the 
life of them can't put their phone in the middle of a piece of paper and lift 
it up straight to get a decent OCR result and I knew a girl back in Germany at 
the school for the blind whose sense of direction was so bad that she would get 
turned around in a 6 foot wide hallway and she wouldn't notice it.

Regards,
Sieghard

Importance: High

I’ve heard, recently, that at some point Apple will have a phone with in-screen 
touch-ID, and FaceID at the same time. Of course, this is years away, but your 
iPhone 8 can last years too.

Re: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread Joney
I understand the problem people are having. However, I have found that if you 
memorize a spot that works in front of you, as in position, it will work every 
time. My daughter told me, that often I took the phone back to far. With her 
ideas and assistance, I can get it to undo itself 90% of the time. I just have 
to remember that my hand has to be in a certain position and a certain place 
for it to work. I’m not happy with Face ID, but I’m going to use it because I 
refuse to allow something technological to beat me. :-)

Not really sure what the argument is here. Nothing wrong with people
choosing not to use their smart phone eyes free for whatever reason.
Also, once someone told me that others might think I look weird using my
phone in my pocket then I'm free to do whatever I want and it's really
no one else's business after that.


BTW, one of the things I liked about my Nokia running Symbian with Talks
and using the T9 interface was how easy it was to use with one hand and
without ever having to pull it out of my pocket.

because my iPhone 7 is very good to me and until it packs up I don't see why 
I should change for the sake of it.  I will not stop putting my phone in my

Hey guys,

OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Thanks,

Jed

Not really sure what the argument is here. Nothing wrong with people 
choosing not to use their smart phone eyes free for whatever reason. 
Also, once someone told me that others might think I look weird using my 
phone in my pocket then I'm free to do whatever I want and it's really 
no one else's business after that.



BTW, one of the things I liked about my Nokia running Symbian with Talks 
and using the T9 interface was how easy it was to use with one hand and 
without ever having to pull it out of my pocket.

I don't think iPhone users will have to wait years for this in screen

with in screen finger print sensors and Samsung will include them in the 
phones they'll start shipping early next year.

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-17 Thread Mr. Ed
Hi all,
I remember when touch ID first came out it gave some people issues with not 
reading their finger print. I remember people putting in more than one finger 
and having to do it over again and again because it would not read their finger 
every time. Then after the next version of the iPhone and some updates you 
don't hear any issues with touch ID. So I am guessing this is going to happen 
with face ID. I heard the same complaining over and over with touch ID when it 
first came out. Now you don't hear any issues with it.

Sorry to say this, but if you are using your phone inside a bag or pocket,
you look really strange to sighted people. It’s not normal. Also, FaceID is
much more secure than TouchID ever was.

another thing, is that you could use the touch id, whilst the phone is in
something like a bumbag, with out having to actually take it out. this is
particularly handy if using the phone whilst on horse back for example, as
it greatly reduces the risk of dropping the phone. but now you can't do

Hey guys,

OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Thanks,

Jed

A sighted person wouldn’t know what you are doing. That’s the point. It 
looks like you are doing something strange in your pocket. The repetitive 
flicking motion that you use with VO makes the cloth move in such a way that 
it looks very weird and, to some, inappropriate, especially if it’s your 
pants pocket or a long coat.

2018-12-17 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz
I don't know about you, but if I want to look towards my right hand that may be 
holding my phone to unlock it, I'm not going to be looking at my left hand or 
staring off into space. 
Moving your head all over the whatever.. Seriously, what are we talking about.
People are trying to fit a narrative that isn't true to fit their argument. 
The only time you may need to move your head around is to do the initial scan. 
After that and if you're set up right, you just interact with the phone as you 
normally would when using it. I mean, I lost my vision so some sighted habits 
are just engrained into me. I still flick the lights on and off when entering 
my room or bathroom or whatever. I still generally look at/towards my phone 
when I'm using it, etc. Even with the touch ID, after I unlocked it, I still 
looked down at it or in  its general direction while I was doing whatever or 
reviewing this or that alert.
Maybe it's different if you've always been total. I really can't say. 
And again, I'm an touch ID guy, but this really is becoming lets exaggerate X 
to try to win argument Y.

i think people, were mainly talking about unlocking their phones, and not 
playing games, well having their phone in their pocket.

Moving your head all over the show, to unlock your phone, looks a lot more 
silly and blind, as a sighted person, will know exactly how to look at the 
handset, to unlock it.

Well, to be fair, some blind people don’t really care if it looks normal. It’s
an advantage that we have, that we could use a phone without needing to have
it even remotely pointing towards us. But we must adapt. I can almost
guarantee that Android manufacturers will adopt something like FaceID,
albeit without the true security that Apple gives, well, not counting
attention-mode being off for us… Even then they couldn’t take the phone
without you at least hearing the unlock sound, at most hearing VoiceOver
speaking. Sure, it’s a little painful now, but it will get better, as it did
with TouchID.

How would a sighted person know, what you are doing with your phone, if you 
have your hand in your bag or pocket?

and frankly, who gives a crap, what someone else thinks!

You are unlocking your bloody phone, and not doing a strange dance, in the 
middle of the street.

Sorry to say this, but if you are using your phone inside a bag or pocket, you 
look really strange to sighted people. It’s not normal. Also, FaceID is much 
more secure than TouchID ever was.

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-17 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz
Maybe the Apple gods got tired of hearing folks complain...
Apple patent describes both Face ID and Touch ID on the same iPhone; Face ID on 
an Apple Watch
https://9to5mac.com/2018/12/17/face-id-and-touch-id/
Fine and dandy, but we're living in the hear and now. Face ID isn't all that, 
but it's what we've got and it works well enough.

Even if Apple came out with a phone with Face ID and Touch ID I'd most likely

A sighted person wouldn’t know what you are doing. That’s the point. It looks 
like you are doing something strange in your pocket. The repetitive flicking 
motion that you use with VO makes the cloth move in such a way that it looks 
very weird and, to some, inappropriate, especially if it’s your pants pocket or 
a long coat.

Hey guys,

OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Subject: face id opinions wanted


Hey guys,

OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Thanks,

Jed

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-17 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz
Hyperbolic much?
The Touch ID thing and ability to use your iPhone while in your pocket sure was 
handy, but come on, we're such a small user group. To think Apple's going to 
somehow change their plans over something like this? 
Besides, you can still unlock your phone without removing it from your pocket 
just by simply unlocking with the passcode. Same as before there was a touch 
ID. 
I’m not a face ID fan and also prefer the touch ID, but I'm at least not having 
as many issues as others seem to be having. I do get the failure scan from time 
to time, but I either just swipe up again or since I've got my hand on the 
phone anyway, I just punch in the code real quick. 
If Apple were ever to come out with a phone that has touch ID imbedded in the 
screen like some android devices already have, I'd probably get it, but face ID 
while not as convenient isn't the end of the world either.

that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?

i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another

any "future boss" that couldn't be open minded enough to just accept how I 
used my phone, would almost certainly be too closed minded to employ a VI

Responding to both these messages in one, at the risk of being off topic, 
you would care about looking strange if a future boss saw it. Just saying,

Also, if we want to look normal while using our phone, we gotta get 
rid of our Bluetooth keyboards, Braille displays, and tactile screen

Hi,
I can’t see at all and set it up just fine, and I know that many others have 
as well. You don’t have to be really accurate. Just hold the phone 
vertically a little ways away from you and it should be fine. Make sure you 
have attention mode turned off, especially if your eyes move a lot or don’t 
open.

 Hey guys,
 
 OK, i need some input here on face ID.  I'm gonna be brutally honest,
 i personally hate it.  I'm pretty good with apple, and keeping up on
 technology but this face id, it's just not working well for me or not
 as well as expected.  I actually turned it off, that's how annoyed i
 am with it, and i just do the home swipe.  It literally took me 17
 minutes to setup an alternate appearance, and i finally threw in the
 towel and gave up cause it just wasn't recognizing my face.  it would
 tell me turn my head right, i'd move it an inch or 2, but i guess
 that's too much.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
 I have 1 appearance setup on my phone.  What i find, out of 20 times
 i'll unlock it, only about half of them work the 1st time.  Another
 thing in find, often when i go to sleep at night, i'll pick up my
 phone to do something.  It never has worked yet when i'm laying down.
 In my eyes, this is not acceptable.  I like to be productive with my
 phone, not sit there for 30 seconds to try and get the damn thing
 open. The fingerprint was way more reliable.  Has anyone else
 experienced this, am i alone?  Help me out here guys.

Thing is when you talk about android you have choices at this point,
just as you can go for the IPhone 7 or 8 at this point. Keep in mind
lots of companies are trying to get this in screen fingerprint thing
off the ground.

Well, to be fair, some blind people don’t really care if it looks normal. It’s 
an advantage that we have, that we could use a phone without needing to have it 
even remotely pointing towards us. But we must adapt. I can almost guarantee 
that Android manufacturers will adopt something like FaceID, albeit without the 
true security that Apple gives, well, not counting attention-mode being off for 
us… Even then they couldn’t take the phone without you at least hearing the 
unlock sound, at most hearing VoiceOver speaking. Sure, it’s a little painful

Hi, 
I can’t see at all and set it up just fine, and I know that many others have as 
well. You don’t have to be really accurate. Just hold the phone vertically a 
little ways away from you and it should be fine. Make sure you have attention 
mode turned off, especially if your eyes move a lot or don’t open.

Sorry to say this, but if you are using your phone inside a bag or pocket, you 
look really strange to sighted people. It’s not normal. Also, FaceID is much 
more secure than TouchID ever was.

You may want to try setting up FaceID again. I’ve gotten rather good at it, and 
if it doesn’t get it the first time, point your phone screen down, or away from 
you, then back at your face, and it’ll scan again.

I’ve heard, recently, that at some point Apple will have a phone with 
in-screen touch-ID, and FaceID at the same time. Of course, this is years 
away, but your iPhone 8 can last years too.

Well that's the only way I would ever consider buying another IPhone.
When my mac dies it will be my last mac, unless I can find some kind
of amazing deal on one with everything I want. I am tired of giving
companies money and not getting exactly what I want. I just think
about the price of having to replace my ssd on my MBP 2014 and it's
not even worth it.

All this just to get a phone to unlock, um not worth it. Spin your

do is just make my phone unlock. Yeah yall can keep face id.

I’ve heard, recently, that at some point Apple will have a phone with in-screen 
touch-ID, and FaceID at the same time. Of course, this is years away, but your 
iPhone 8 can last years too.

same here, who ever had the stupid idea of doing away with the touch id and 
replacing it with this stupid face id should be shot!
another thing, is that you could use the touch id, whilst the phone is in 
something like a bumbag, with out having to actually take it out. this is 
particularly handy if using the phone whilst on horse back for example, as 
it greatly reduces the risk of dropping the phone. but now you can't do that

I don’t mind it. Sure, when I’m laying in bed it’s a little of a hassle, but 
with a Bluetooth keyboard, I’d not really have that problem as I’d just enter

Re: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-17 Thread Aleeha Dudley
Hi, 
I do not have any issue with it. In fact, it took me less than thirty seconds 
to set it up and it works perfectly. What I like to tell my students is to 
think of your nose as the central point on a clock face. When you set up 
FaceID, rotate your head around in a circle slowly, as if you were going from 
six o’clock all the way back around the clock to six again. This usually works. 
Also, be sure to hold the phone vertically in front of you, six or so inches 
away from your face.
