This seemed like a bad idea to me from the beginning. Giving personal biometric details to a monster corporation is a nonstarter for both techies and normies.

- burnte 9mo agoExactly, this is why it failed. Suddenly in every Whole Foods is an Amazon device saying "give me your hand print!" Uh, no.
- llsf 9mo agoI agree in theory, but yet I have an iPhone, and Apple is managing my biometrics. I do not have Clear, or TSA preCheck, etc. but still my biometrics are in the US database. So, in practice, I am not sure if that is truly a non-starter for "normies" and even some "techies". I already gave up on my face biometrics living in US.
- closeparen 9mo agoYour biometrics are in the secure enclave of your specific phone. Apple doesn't have them in a database.

- closeparen 9mo agoI don't think this shows that at all?

- kotaKat 9mo agoI call it plausible deniability. My fingerprints and palmprints have gone through so many biometric studies through multiple colleges and I know they’ve done experiments with copying and making false biometrics from some of their study samples. What’s not to love?
