You have misaligned expectations, whole Apple approach since forever to anything is to dumb things down so few power users are unhappy but rest doesn't care and appreciates lack of choices, or more like hopes best possible choices are done for them because they paid premium. Which sometimes works OK, sometimes less so.
I mean underlying a lot of Apple stuff is linux. Do you feel you have linux device and its might and endless configurability when working with iphone? My wife can't force that f!@#!@ device to allow her pattern unlock of her phone without losing warranty, Apple rather prefers her having no safety at all (since face ID simply doesn't work for her line of work, and typing minimum 6 digits code 100x a day is extremely annoying... no other choices on 13 mini).
- astrange 4y agoThere ain’t no Linux anywhere. Not even GPL.
- alexiaa 4y agoyeah, they avoid any gplv3 software on macos, not sure if ios has any that's even gplv2.
- haswell 4y ago> You have misaligned expectations Which expectations would those be and how are they misaligned? I have no allusions about what using Apple products entail. That doesn't mean I can't want things. But my comment was more about the state of AI than anything.
- alexiaa 4y agoit's unix (bsd), not linux. also, the minimum is actually 4 digits. you can tap "passcode options" when setting/changing passcode. not sure how much better that would be though. i generally like face id but i do hope they add in-display touch id sometime.
