I like faceid because I work with gloves on, so I can change the podcast I’m listening to without having to remove those gloves. Touchid honestly just feels like a hassle now when I use it on my iPad.

I like Touch ID because I sit in a lot of meetings and want to do what the PR says that Face ID will let you do: use the phone at a glance — i.e. poke it and glance at the screen without drawing attention to it by having to move at it in any wya and make it obvious that I'm now staring at my phone. Once Face ID is a reliable a under-chin-and-up-the-nose-ID, we might have something to work with — that only leaves winter clothing (which is when unlocking it in your pocket becomes very handy).

With Touch ID I could reach down and unlock it, then glance at it out of the corner of my eye. With Face ID I have to hold it up in front of my face and crash into a pedestrian. As for pocket, there's lots of things I used to be able to do blindly, like changing tracks on music, launching an app discreetly, tapping out a brief message on the sly in a meeting as noted above. E: don’t get me wrong, I like Face ID and think it’s marvelous. On balance it’s a huge improvement. Just saying it’s not without its ergonomic drawbacks.

MarcusSA posted:FaceID is awesome though. I don't like FaceID, but I would stop complaining if Apple gave me the option to immediately use my passcode to unlock instead of waiting for FaceID to fail twice. We're getting into winter clothing weather and it's typically made FaceID useless for me. It's easier to take off a glove to TouchID than it is to undo my scarf and hat or ditch my balaclava, and both are harder than just punching in my passcode which would still be an amazing fallback if it wasn't delayed response.

When you swipe up to unlock, if you tap the "Face ID" text it will immediately pull up the keypad for entering your code. It's not instant, but faster than waiting for it come up by itself.

Yes thank you, I thought my note about hitting a pedestrian amply suggested that I know it is a bad thing. But people will do it anyway, and I’m saying Face ID makes that  use case more dangerous than it was with Touch ID.

I was driving on a road trip with a buddy talking about a movie and he pulled his phone out, loaded the trailer, and held it up in front of my face while I’m speeding down the highway. I was so flabbergasted that I just looked around the phone for the whole three minutes it played but I should have yelled at him. I was just astonished and it would not surprise me that morons are watching movies while driving.

MarcusSA posted:Why do you need to unlock your phone when you are driving but can’t look at it? If you ask Siri to make a phone call for you, it asks you to unlock your iPhone (assuming no CarPlay). That is easy with TouchID, but probably not with FaceID. There are possibly other things it will do this, like sending a text message, but I haven’t tried. I honestly only ever enabled Siri because it’s require for CarPlay. I personally see no compelling reason to upgrade from my iPhone 7 Plus, except to go back to a smaller form factor. I would still be using my iPhone 6, but its 16GB of storage space made it unusable. I’m on a 256GB iPhone 7+ and still have 100GB before I run into trouble.

I have an external (wireless, non-bluetooth) mouse. What I would like to do is simulate holding down the right-click button for a long(ish) period of time without physically holding down the right-click button, so that I can get up from my computer while it does its thing. What I think would work is a piece of software that could do this simulation—ideally with the sort of thing where I press some key combination (shift-f7 or something) to turn on the holding down, and then the same combination to turn it off. I've fiddled with BetterTouchTool (which I use otherwise) and Karibiner to accomplish this, and the best I can do is set up a key combination to be a single right-click, but then I have to hold down that key combination, which doesn't really solve my problem, unless I can also find some software to also simulate holding down those keys. On Windows, there's AutoHotkey, which can do this, but I cannot find a macOS equivalent. Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this?

Why not just put a book on the button or something?

Yeah I’m not enabling that. I think it’s weird people want tech companies listening in on their conversations to avoid clicking a button. The only way I would enable that is if I truly needed a hands free setup, eg on a motorcycle. Anyway, I won’t continue the iPhone derail.

I’ve definitely had that unlocking needed message, but I just tried a call and it was fine with it. Maybe it’s iOS version dependent.

Is there a Catalina public beta? I can't really find any info on it. Also it's pretty weird that iOS 13 will come out in September but Catalina won't come out until October. Right now iOS 13 breaks apps like Reminders because Reminders created in iOS 13 do not work with iOS 12 or Mojave.
