Gregory's Server@mlanger @canadianglen I'll only buy the iPhone SE, since it still supports touchID. I like the convenience, but FaceID feels icky and less secure.

@ramiro @mlanger @canadianglen It's odd to me that "they can force you to put your finger there, but aren't allowed to point your phone camera at you" was a real legal position at any point. @ramiro @canadianglen @UrbanEdm @mlanger the more clear statement seems would be “they could collect your finger prints to make silicon finger tips” @ldbeth @canadianglen @UrbanEdm @mlanger that’s not exactly true as far as my understanding goes ( again, in the US ) police and federal representatives can require that you use your finger print or Face ID - this is not through a silicon reproduction ( though I believe they have the ability to produce these ) They cannot however at this point force you to reproduce a pattern lock or pin @UrbanEdm if Apple keeps making Touch ID phones then yes, absolutely, but don’t bail on Face ID, it’s much more secure than a passcode: |
@UrbanEdm @mlanger @canadianglen there’s a fun security story behind Face ID, initially Apple pushed for it because while the US government could compel you to give a finger print, it could not do the same for Face ID.
This is no longer true and the only secure lock is either hardware or pin, but it was an interesting historical / tech development
