This should raise fidelity questions of the scans, and the need for this shitty technology in the first place.
A one in a thousand chance that somebody who "looks just like you" can unlock your phone is still pretty low.
99% of their population voted to stay with Russia. So now you can just fuck off, if you aren't a Crimean resident. Democratic election is what American regime claims it is spreading throughout the world, what is more democratic than 99%.
00% of Chechnya's population wants independence - and Russia gives a shit about that. Fuck Putin.
Compared to the same period in 2015, this represents a threefold increase.
Sounds like somebody's enjoying being in charge of the Deep State. Who could have guessed?
Sounds more like somebody linked to an article that references this article, but screwed up the numbers.
In its biannual transparency report, released on Thursday, Apple said it received between 13,250 and 13,499 national security orders, affecting between 9,000 and 9,249 accounts. In the first months of 2016, the company received less than a quarter of that: 2,750 to 2,999 orders affecting between 2,000 to 2,249 accounts.
Note that TFA from the submission managed to get the fucking timeframe wrong in addition to adding that "threefold" bullshit. All while hoping you don't actually check the original Apple report or the article they link to at the end they so expertly fucked up.
Not everybody has an iPhone 7 or 8. I have a 5s which is very similar to the current production iPhone SE. Plenty of my firneds have iPhone 6's and all of these could play FM radio if only the firmware allowed it.
Best argument for jailbreaking I've seen.
Interesting point. So does jailbreaking give you FM radio on an iPhone? Answer: NO.
So what does that tell you? Right: the jailbreakers are in cahoots with Apple so they can sell you streaming. Any other "explanation" simply doesn't make sense.
It's a headphone cable into the lightning adaptor. The phone needs the headphone because the wire acts like an FM antenna. If that antenna stops at the adaptor, it doesn't act like one for the phone.
Dumbass.
If that antenna stops at the headphone jack, it doesn't act like one for the phone either, you bloody imbecile.
If you're serious about not trusting anyone you never should use any device with a camera or a microphone - both could be used to spy on you all the time. I don't see any reason why FaceID should be special here.
Of course you shouldn't have any phone at all anyway, so...
And I am supposed to believe you instead of Apple and all the others who have checked their claims and support what they say. Because of your track record on Slashdot; which AFAIR is pure shit.
Rather than getting a court order to open your phone. They can hire a company to 3d print your face on a mannequin. Yes it is difficult, but not computationally impossible akin to current respected encryption keys and multi-factor locks.
Sure, and if they are faster than the max. 48 hours before they have to re-enter your passcode to get in, it could work. If they also manage to get past the “attention detection”. If you don't just disable Face ID before handing over your phone by pressing one of the side buttons for a few seconds.
apple's "secure elements" aren't exactly secure, either. how easy was it for the fbi to get into the shooter's phone *without* apple's assistance? and secure enclave has been hacked on previous model, means no model iphone is safe from being completely opened.
Errm, the shooter's phone didn't have the Secure Enclave, and of course neither did previous phones.
The iPhone 7/8 Touch ID sensor innately provides proximity/pressure sensitivity without need of moving parts.
But unlike the "more parts" needed for Face ID, it still is subject to a lot of pressing (sometimes excessive), not to mention grease, sweat, dust, water and whatever else the environment throws at it.
Just a month ago the encryption key for the Secure Enclave firmware on the iPhone 5S's was found.
While it doesn't mean someone can remote access the data from it, it does mean someone could load their own firmware on to an iPhone 5S's Secure Enclave. It also means the firmware can be analysed for vulnerabilities.
IT may be extremely difficult to get in to it, but I wouldn't go as far as saying its "literally impossible to reverse engineer, due to the high levels of iOS hardware security".
Sure, it's a high level of security, but nothing is perfect.
Yeah, all you have to do to get around this "security" is a lot of highly complicated stuff - after you got around the security first.
There is a legal difference though. Apparently here police cannot ask you to unlock the phone by passcode or fingerprint, but showing it your face is perfectly fine.
I also quizzed Federighi about the exact way you “quick disabled” Face ID in tricky scenarios — like being stopped by police, or being asked by a thief to hand over your device.
“On older phones the sequence was to click 5 times [on the power button], but on newer phones like iPhone 8 and iPhone X, if you grip the side buttons on either side and hold them a little while — we’ll take you to the power down [screen]. But that also has the effect of disabling Face ID,” says Federighi. “So, if you were in a case where the thief was asking to hand over your phone — you can just reach into your pocket, squeeze it, and it will disable Face ID. It will do the same thing on iPhone 8 to disable Touch ID.”
This will of course not work when the police asks for your phone. Sure.
It's also available for Microsoft Surface devices which just goes to show how much things have changed. Now it's no problem when MS does it but when Apple does it's "Orwellian and creepy".
It may be "available" for Surface, but is it required? AFAICT if you have an iPhone 10 you're stuck with using your face to unlock your phone whether you like it or not.
To paraphrase your.sig: There's no "IQ" in "jenningsthecat ( 1525947 )"

Talking to yourself again, you retard?

Use the charging port. Apple is always saying how they can't comply with the EU's microUSB charger mandate because
... there is no such thing. Stop pretending.
It's a headphone cable into the lightning adaptor. The phone needs the headphone because the wire acts like an FM antenna. If that antenna stops at the adaptor, it doesn't act like one for the phone.
Dumbass.
If that antenna stops at the headphone jack, it doesn't act like one for the phone either, you bloody imbecile.
When Apple removed the audio jack in the iPhone 7, they removed the ability to plug in an antenna to the device
If you believed the had the audio jack wired to the never enabled FM receiver, you are a fucking moron.
If you're serious about not trusting anyone you never should use any device with a camera or a microphone - both could be used to spy on you all the time. I don't see any reason why FaceID should be special here.
Of course you shouldn't have any phone at all anyway, so ...

A good enough mask or disguise can open your devices now.
Well, the IMF was able to get past TouchID too.

Or just wait for you to fall asleep
And hold open your eyelids so you look at the phone, else this won't work.

They could have done Ass ID
Then you would have a conspiracy theory about "Tim Cook checking out my butt."
Face unlock is face unlock.
And ROT-13 is just like PGP.
Never mind the detail that the iPhone X facial recognition is a LOT more complex than to my knowledge any other customer level gadget out there
prove it by providing technical facts, not iPropaganda.
Since you are a "sceptic", you wouldn't accept it, because it came from Apple.
It's also available for Microsoft Surface devices which just goes to show how much things have changed. Now it's no problem when MS does it but when Apple does it's "Orwellian and creepy".

And Apple doesn't get this info.
The face ID data stays on your phone in the secure enclave. It doesn't go to Apple.
It doesn't even go outside the secure enclave.
Aren't they the company that isn't giving you the choice to turn Bluetooth or Wi-Fi off. I see a pattern here ...
Well, given that you are wrong, you are obviously doubly wrong. And before you point me to yesterdays story: RTFA, you can turn off both in Settings.
Really? Then mind explaining why their laptop sales figures are tanking?
Shouldn't you be explaining why they aren't doing that, if even one thing you said was true? http://www.techradar.com/news/laptop-sales-pick-up-with-apples-latest-macbook-pro-selling-nicely
Apple’s notebook sales were up 15.4% year-on-year, and in Q2, they’re expected to grow by over 10% compared to this quarter.
