Not looking forward to the video services that demand that you pay attention to ads before they let you view their content, now that they have the ability to check.
- ubernostrum 9y agoDo they actually have that ability, though? There's a big difference between "the authentication mechanism has access to this API when you're authenticating" and "everything always has access to this API at all times". I haven't seen any indication that this will be generally available on-demand to applications, and Apple's track record on this stuff isn't terrible (largely because Apple isn't existentially dependent on advertising like some other vendors of mobile tech).
- batuhanicoz 9y agoThe camera and the sensors can be available but I'm certain the auth mechanism itself won't be accessible. AFAIK they have a dedicated chip for this like Touch ID and what software can is limited.
- batuhanicoz 9y agoI don't think Apple would allow that in their platform but could certainly give ad tech firms ideas.
- yoz-y 9y agoBlack Mirror made a shot at this. Ads which give you a fine if you don't watch them.
