Apple Marketing Chief: Android Face ID efforts – ‘They All Stink’

December 11, 2017

 

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 11-12-2017

While Apple’s iPhone X isn’t the only smartphone with facial recognition, Apple marketing Chief Phil Schiller says others brands face ID features are just not up to standard.

In an interview with Dutch website Bright, Schiller touched on several key features of the iPhone X, including Face ID.

Schiller was severely critical of Android smartphones facial recognition feature.

“They all stink.”

Schiller explained that Face ID on the iPhone X provides super-advanced functionality that no other smartphone can offer right now.

“They don’t work in all the ways we need Face ID to work. We’re very aware that through the years the simple thing, this Home button, that started as the way you click to get to the Home screen, grew into doing so many things for us.”

Schiller also commented on claims that Face ID could provide developers access with access to certain user facial data, thus impacting privacy in a concerning way. But he explained that every developer is required to precisely tell users what data they need and how they are planning to use that data, so users are always in control of their information.
