>> I didn't watch the keynote
This is nothing like the version that's been available on Android for years. Read up on it or watch the keynote before jumping to wild conclusions.
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoSorry, I didn't mean to imply that it was "bad" when I said "hack". I meant that it was introduced in order to solve a problem introduced by another design change (i.e. the removal of touch ID).
- infogulch 9y agoWell they introduced completely new dedicated hardware components that I've never seen in a smartphone to enable this feature. For me "hack" doesn't do the feature justice.
- djrogers 9y agoIf using a 30k dot projector, 2 cameras (one IR), and a neural network processor is your idea of a 'hack', I'd love to see what you think an elegantly designed solution is!
