“Noted KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a research report today in which he outlined further expectations for Apple’s 2017 iPhone, including new biometric identification technology as well as the necessity of a new design to provide better structural support for a flexible OLED display with 3D Touch capability,” Tim Hardwick reports for MacRumors.
“Kuo also believes Apple is developing a new Touch ID technology for its next iPhone ‘to complement its full-screen (zero bezel) form factor design and to enhance transactions security,'” Hardwick reports. “According to Kuo, the existing ‘under glass’ design of fingerprint recognition doesn’t meet the requirements of full-screen form factor designs, therefore an ‘under panel’ placement is required.”
“Kuo believes the fingerprint recognition system will ‘ultimately be replaced by a facial recognition system’ for enhanced security. ‘”However, if the technical challenges cannot be overcome, we believe a combination of fingerprint and facial recognition is another possible solution,'” Hardwick reports. “Assuming the technological challenges are not too great and adoption this year isn’t too soon, Kuo suggests Apple’s new system will usher in a ‘paradigm shift’ for the application of biometric identification in smartphones.”

MacDailyNews Take: If and when Apple does facial recognition, it will be real facial recognition done right in much the same ways as Touch ID shamed other companies’ previous half-assed, insecure attempts at fingerprint recognition.
Now boys and girls…..the funny thing about this is…….(drumroll)
MS already has this in the form of….Windows hello. And it works very well, so what is taking so long????
BEHIND THE CURVE………
Look ma, I located a retard!!!
Yeah, and ma, I found him by looking in the mirror. Bwfwaa….
Great! Trump can use this on his new iPhone to more-easily find all the people he hates.
uh, that’s PRESIDENT Trump, libtard. 🙂
You always said Obama, not President Obama. Isn’t turnabout fair play?
no, The Muslim Usurper was not born in Hawaii.
You really are a conspiracy theorist, aren’t you? I love the Mel Gibson movie. I have a DVD of it that I play over and over again. The special conceit of the movie is that every single conspiracy theory turns out to be true, with strategic assassinations—JFK, MLK, etc.—ordered by a shadowy organisation that knows what’s best for the country. I love that Mel Gibson plays a demented cab driver. I love that Julia Roberts is the love interest and that she rides horses. I love that the mastermind behind the grand conspiracy is Patrick Stewart — none other than Star Trek’s Jean Luc-Picard. Let it be so! So what if Hussein was born in Mumbai. A rival theory is forming that Trump was born in Switzerland, a country so weak they have four official languages. Prove it isn’t so. You can’t do it. Birth certificates can be forged. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable. Proof is limited to mathematical theorems. This is why you need to build a belief system to fool the masses, so that evidence can be thrown out for non-compliance, just as was done in the Middle Ages when they burnt witches, and before the scientific method gained popularity.
no conspiracy, the evidence is the forged birth certificate itself…poorly forged, at that.
I used to think you thought for yourself.
oh I do, the forged “1961” certificate notes that the Muslim Usurper’s father was born in Kenya…however, there was no Kenya until 1963.
Oh Bot. Oh Oh Oh Bot. Please DO take your meds. Pretty please!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kenya
The British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, from 1920 known as the Kenya Colony.
You didn’t used to be so silly and wrong.
it was not known as “Kenya”, Magellan, it was British East Africa…also, no American hospital would ever put “African” down as a race.
Oh yes it was known as ‘Kenya’, as demonstrated. Do I have to scold you now for not taking your meds? When did you last see your psychiatrist?
But thank you for comparing me to Magellan. You flatter me.
Oh and if a person is the resident of a British ‘East African’ colony, why would they NOT be called ‘African’? Are you seeing the FAIL points here? Do your recognize your illogic? Have you experienced this sort of paranoia previously? It really is time to get to the doctor. You are NOT at your best lately. I say that with both sarcasm AND seriousness. I remember you being far sharper and smarter than you are today.
oh, no it wasn’t.
“African” isn’t a race, you moron, it’s a continent.
The Muslim Usurper’s father’s RACE is indicated as “African.” African isn’t a race. Goddamn, Derek.
Thin-skinned McGoldenShowers was illegally installed by the Russian government to destroy America. No amount of Reich-wing baby whining will ever change that fact. Impeachment now!
you’re aware that impeachment proceedings begin in the House and the House is OWNED by the Republicans?…no?…well, it was in all the papers.
Paradoxically, when his narcissism doesn’t allow him to play ball, who would the Republicans want? Him or Pence?
“Nobody owns Trump.” – The 45th President of the United States
What does impeaching have to do with owning, except the House theoretically can impeach if they don’t own him.
The 5th “Electoral President” of the United States.
#1of5
There, fixed it for you. Why would you hide what makes him special?
You might pursue the 12th Amendment, you seem to be Constitutionally illiterate.
I’m quite aware of the 12th Amendment, and I know the difference between a majority and plurality as well.
The were ALL Electoral College Elected Presidents, but he JUST one of five that are ONLY Electoral College elected presidents.
All the others had a majority or plurality of the vote, in addition to the Electoral College.
Like I said #1of5.
no, you are not.
He doesn’t need anything to find people he hates. He just hates. Everyone he can’t find a use for.
Please list those people you suggest that President Trump “hates.”
:::crickets:::
Our President doesn’t appear to actually hate anyone. But many who hate him accuse him of being hateful. Too many mirrors.
That’s illegitimate president trump
Like most libtards, you are unfamiliar with the Constitution, especially The 12th Amendment.
Putin got him in and we will get him out.
lol.
He hates anyone who calls him on his shit.
Yes, I’ve seen a sampling of them roaming the streets of Washington DC in masks and hoodies, destroying private property and shouting obscenities.
A George Soros Production.
Cognitive dissonance. That is what you are experiencing. It’s almost sad to whiteness the masses freaking out as if he is the antichrist.
Actually……..he is!
You need to try working on that senility problem Snormy. And it’s funny how all of the atheists don’t believe in God but they are onboard with Satan and the Anti-Christ.
Yet they are citizens with the same freedoms we all exercise. All we can do is try to intimidate them (although even that is morally suspect), and if they will not go away, we may not injure them but must suffer their existence, even knowing that we are right and they are wrong. To do otherwise is to violate the letter and spirit of the Constitution and of the New Testament.
You realize that you just admitted to being a liberal…
Me too!
We’ve been seeing for sometime now all of the love and tolerance coming from the libs and Dems over the election and everything else in this world. If you clowns can’t watch the happenings in D.C. and realize what a bunch of hypocritical haters your kind actually are then that is the fundamental problem with you.
Try dealing with your own emotional and intellectual issues before casting stones on those you disagree with. But I won’t hold my breath waiting.
I agree. He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone John 8.7. And your point about realising one’s own hypocrisy is also well put. But hypocrisy and hate are universal human conditions, not specific to libs and dems. Recognize your own passion in your brother’s passion, though he be cast out for calumny; and call for clemency on his behalf, before the king; lest you find yourself in chains before the next king. Thus does the wheel of retribution carry forth justice.. (Matthew, author of the first gospel, I think.)
The secrets to understanding Mr. Trump are that he’s:
A) A Narcissist:
Narcissistic personality disorder
B) A Con-man:
Confidence trick
I don’t fully understand how verifiably mentally ill people are elected to represent We The People. But it’s happening with remarkable frequency of late (from both worthless parties). I do hope they don’t actually represent the populace at large through their illnesses. Certainly, in Mr. Trump’s case, he lost the election of the majority by around 2.8 million voters.
Oh, but he disagrees. So perhaps we should add that he’s a:
C) A Paranoid …Unless of course he’s “winning”. So maybe it’s just more narcissism.

I’m not sure identification should be the first application. Simpler things would be useful. My iPad or Mac could pause a movie when I step away for a minute. My Mac could sleep the screen when I step away from my desk. Tasks like these would be a good way to ease into full blown recognition and give us a chance to test it out and give feedback to Apple.
in other tech news:
I’m okay if Apple wants to add facial recognition as a form of two factor authentication to add to a finger print. But I don’t want it to be the primary security method. A really clever person could probably foil the finger printer reader. And another one probably could fool the facial recognition engine. Putting the two together might make sense if it makes it harder to crack.
So who or what will stand up and implement a comparable personal protection against yet another invasive paradigm shift in biometric IDs?
One sunny day in January, 2017, an old man approaches the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He speaks to the U.S. Marine standing guard and says,
“I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” …
The Marine looks at the man and says,
“Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here.”
The old man says,
“Okay,” and walks away.
The following day the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine,
“I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”
The Marine again tells the man,
“Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here.”
The man thanks him and again walks away.
On the third day, the same man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U.S. Marine, saying,
“I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looks at the man and says,
“Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”
The old man looks at the Marine and says,
“Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.”
The Marine snaps to attention, salutes, and says,
“See you tomorrow, Sir!”
Meanwhile, expect the Marketing Mob to demand facial recognition out on the streets, on the plazas and in the malls. We must be recognized in order for them to pitch the correct crap-of-interest to us. Right?
So be sure to get prepared and order your Guy Fawkes ‘Anonymous’ masks and Groucho Marx glasses now!
I would go with this, but he might think he’s Spartacus
