1, Face ID: a mountain difficult two tigers, do not need
Despite the unsuccessful debut Face ID at the conference, despite being "spoiled" by twins, Apple has a strong belief in the technology despite having been 'cracked' by clichés. With such advanced unlocking Technology, fingerprint unlock is not necessary!
From this perspective, Apple's strategy is obviously different from that of Samsung! Samsung's principle is that it is my business to use something that is not your business! So far, Samsung mobile phones can be said to be the most complete way to unlock : Password unlocking, graphical unlocking, iris recognition, facial recognition and fingerprinting everything!
Apple led the use of Touch ID mobile phone fingerprint recognition of the wind, then Face ID is also leading the trend of facial recognition? Seemingly very likely! Then since it has become a 'leader', there is a need to go back in order to Fingerprint increase costs?
2, cost
Speaking of costs, after many students should also read, iPhone X repair costs can be very alarming, the screen 2288 yuan, other parts damaged even need 4588 yuan, which is already equivalent to the price of an Android flagship. So in the back ' Having to give the camera an open hole, opening the hole for the fingerprint identification again obviously increases the cost, and the production capacity may face the new pressure besides the original deep camera system.
Before the launch of the iPhone X, the outside world speculated that by the original impact of the camera, iPhone X production capacity (which may also be Apple's routine), but otherwise, iPhone X original deep camera system includes a wealth of components, you can It is said that the space is small and the technology is all-encompassing. The infrared lens, the pan-sensing element, the distance sensor, the ambient light sensor, the speaker, the microphone, the front camera and the dot matrix projector ensure that this complicated system The accuracy of ID (the probability that anyone else unlocks your iPhone with a face is about one millionth).
3, no space
As an 'important' update, the iPhone X supports wireless charging, and the wireless charging coil underneath the phone's back glass panel clearly leaves no room for fingerprinting (unless you continue to increase the thickness of your phone). In fact, there is a metal frame below the glass panel, and in order to ensure wireless charging, the metal frame is also dug up a region. From this perspective, the added fingerprint recognition, iPhone X will make the weight and thickness of a higher level !
In addition, iPhone X uses the 'double-decker motherboard' and 'dual battery' internal design, it can be said that Apple is in order to make full use of limited space is racked his brain. If squeeze into a fingerprint ... my God!
4, Yan value
Although Apple has gone forever on the road to 'forgetting how to wait' from the iPhone 6, iPhone X already has Liu Haiping and a 'bumpy' back, it's really overkill!
Seriously speaking, in many applications to complete the adaptation, Liu Haiping presence in the use of the feeling is not so 'hot eyes', the user more influence on the system with the new interaction, such as return to the main interface, exhaled tasks Manage, open a control center or notices, etc. These are some of the things you might not be comfortable with in the first place, but after you get used to it, you will find: 诶诶! Apple's gesture interaction is good.
Of course, all this is not enough to make up for lack of iPhone X in terms of value, there is really very heavy!
5, inconvenient
Although the Touch ID 'alive' support limited interaction, such as double-click the outgoing task management, double-tap the screen 'down', long press awake Siri ... but I believe many iPhone users have been accustomed to this operation, if the Touch ID on the back of the iPhone, then even if these functions are awkward to achieve ... Do not believe you try, press your cell phone back with your index finger hard, is not there a kind of phone to 'poke fly' feeling?
In fact, the most important point may be Apple's subtext: No matter what kind of iPhone, the buy or buy, right?
Finally, look at the future, there is no 'non-perforated' fingerprint? Fingerprinting under the screen to unlock the current Qualcomm has introduced this solution, after I also experienced at the show some OEM manufacturers to prepare 'prototype' Explain, such as ultrasound and other screen unlock solution is not yet mature enough, the reaction speed, delay unbearable.Imagine, the phone unlock a lock to wait for three or four seconds you understand! So for now, the face Recognition is a worthy promotion of unlocking technology, of course, if it can coexist with the fingerprint even better! The two complement each other, like wearing gloves can not be unlocked, the embarrassment of fingers can not be unlocked damp does not exist.
