This is bullcrap.
First Microsoft has been doing this for years with Kinect and even with their windows phones.
Second, the ID is stored on device. I was about to go with an iPhone, but not now. It’s not because of security—that’s the one thing I like about Apple...they do take privacy seriously. Google doesn’t because they make money on selling your personal info. The reason I can’t go with iPhone is because they got rid of the fingerprint reader. Looking at your phone to unlock is sucks. Try driving and unlocking your phone. I have tried it and it stinks. Even when it works perfectly—it is way to distracting.
So now I’m looking at the LG V60. It’s not perfect but I can tweak it to make it better. Android is a hot mess of an OS, but at least it’s customizable.
I really wish Windows Phone was successful because it truly is the best interface. But it didn’t so now I have to settle for issues in ios or android.
I think you mean the LG V30, which is not even out yet.
The new Iphone 8 still has the fingerprint button. It is just the X that has face ID option. BTW, fingerprint sensors may not work on senior citizens. My Dad has that problem...
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus which were released this week have the same processing speed as the iPhone X, and the 8 Plus has the same battery life as the X and "wireless" charging, but both the 8 and 8 Plus still have TouchID and not FaceID, so not to worry, you can have the iPhone's security and touch to unlock it too.
