windows just loves to decide that displayport monitors with no speakers on them are actually your default audio device

as much as i know that all apple rumors are true, i'm still holding out hope that tim wouldn't be so stupid as to release a phone with the home button on the back because he wanted to rush a phone out the door

i think the idea is only the touch id sensor is on the back.

the home button is likely not a physical button any more and the soft-button with taptic feedback will be in roughly the same spot it always was.


this is a terrible design too and will be awful to use, but the solid glass monolith is basically the ultimate expression of sir johnny ives' obsession with functionless minimalism

maybe part of the fix for touchid working sporadically at best is no longer allowing thumbprints because there's no way you could use a sensor on the back with a thumb

touchid works great and is far and away the most successful biometric authentication technology to date

touchid was completely useless for me at first, then i think they fixed it in an update, but i got a couple of issues a while back, too

they'd probably do okay if they calibration process were better; i feel like i must be doing it wrong sometimes

touchid doesn't work so great if you have hands that aren't lily white and smooth, aka computer toucher hands

if you actually have calluses, or god forbid non-white skin, it maybe works 1 try out of 10

but we already knew yosposters don't have any perspective on actual work or non-whiteness

I'm sorry that your thumbs are so broken maybe you should try using your other fingers

unless your hands are like that mutant stomach baby's hands from total recall then sorry about your terrible genetics but that's not apples fault
