Really? It’s been discussed a lot on various podcasts, on Twitter and I’ve heard multiple people IRL talk about that use case and the slightly annoyance it is with the iPhone X.
It is pretty common for spouses to have a finger added on their spouse’s phone for unlocking it with Touch ID, e.g., when you’re driving and get a message, you can give it to your spouse who can reply.
Many parents also have a finger added on their young children’s phones.
None if these scenarios are really possible with Face ID, because you’ll end up training Face ID with two faces. And while phones are usually used by only a single person, it is not an uncommon scenario to have a secondary user.
Yes, really. I don't listen to technical podcasts, and I haven't seen any Twitter or IRL stuff about it.
Anyway, if you want to have a shared phone like this, get one that has Touch ID. Apple offers both.
Or trust that Apple does this intelligently and doesn't train the facial recognition in this case when the face is too far out of bounds. As other commenters mentioned, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. It's not training based on your wife's face unless she looks a lot like you. And in that case, you want her to be able to unlock your phone, so isn't it a good thing?
That second face has to look a lot like yours to get adddd via training.
And if you are one of those couples that look alike enough to be able to train the phone, why do you care? You already gave your spouse full access via your passcode.
Besides lacking some other features (as mentioned in another comment), it is worth noting that even though it’s using the same SoC it is clocked lower at 1.1 GHz vs the iPhone 6’s 1.4 GHz. (Source: https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks )
Interesting. I had the opposite perception. Most Europeans I know (Scandinavians, Germans, Dutch, British) prefer subtitles on movies (even when they are foreign non-English movies), whereas the impression I have gotten of Americans through e.g. news broadcasts and talkshows, have been that everything is dubbed into English (for example interviews from the EU parliament or other foreign countries). I am sure it depends on the context, but now I wonder if there are any statistics on when things are dubbed vs subtitled.
I am not sure if Europeans in general prefer subtitles. Most of my friend in Germany do. However, they are younger and well educated. Most people from my parent's generation probably would prefer dubs. It turns out that almost everything in Germany gets dubbed. You really gotta go out of your way if you want to see subs.
I wouldn't say news broadcasts and talk shows are a fair comparison here, as those are often watched passively (while cooking, cleaning, getting ready, chatting with friends) as opposed to film or dramatic television which are usually watched actively.
Dubbing also destroys immersion, which is bad for a story, but irrelevant for an interview. Rare is the dub where all the voice actors get all the emotion in the voice correct.
He has commented on that saying that it isn't very common in the electronics markets, particularly for one-offs or low volume. Apparently you can only really start haggling once you're buying 100+ of something.
