- Apple’s embrace of Qi wireless charging on both the iPhone 8 and iPhone X will not only be significant, it might be the final piece required to make wireless charging a truly mainstream feature. Even if you never buy an iPhone, you should be glad that Apple and Samsung — the two most prolific smartphone makers — have both chosen the same standard.
- At present, I get a kick out of charging the LG V30 on Samsung’s wireless charging dock, but in the future this sort of cross-compatibility and universality will stretch across both iOS and Android.
- That’s great news for all, and it lays the foundation for one day having a smartphone that has no ports at all, eschewing cables in favor of wireless data, audio, and power transfer.
- Face ID will probably work well, but I don’t see the value in it. Something peculiar has happened in 2017, a year that’s seen both Samsung and Apple abandon their perfectly functional fingerprint sensors embedded in the home button at the front of their flagship phones and replacing it with arcane alternatives.
- Obviously, the underlying driver is the move to strip away display bezels, but couldn’t both companies have placed a fingerprint sensor in the middle of the back of their devices? Google, LG, Huawei, and countless others have been doing it for years and left no unhappy customers. Instead, Samsung tucked its fingerprint reader in an awkward off-center position and gave us iris scanning to unlock our phones, while
- Apple’s iPhone X has the world’s most sophisticated (or is that over-engineered?) face authentication system. The best-case scenario for Face ID that I can see is that it matches Touch ID, which already worked very nicely; I can’t get excited for such a sidestep. More worryingly, I expect Android OEMs will go crazy copying Apple’s Face ID, and I expect many of them to do it sloppily, creating the threat of much less secure phones.
- Using the same depth-sensing tech and hardware as Face ID, Apple’s animoji system has charmed quite a few people with its ability to motion-capture the user’s face and turn it into animated emoji.
- I guess I’m too old and / or jaded to find that appealing. Do I get frustrated when silly augmented-reality apps don’t perfectly map their silliness onto my face? Sure, I do, for about 0.5 seconds. Then I move on to doing something more important like watching cat GIFs on the internet.
- My point is that I don’t think Apple is solving an especially major problem with its animoji, and it’d take some ingenious application of the tech to convince me that I should care about or want it.
- The swipe-based iPhone X interface is nothing we haven’t seen before. Whether you want to go as far back as the Palm Pre, or more recently the Nokia N9 or BlackBerry Z10, there have been plenty of attempts at making gesture interfaces work.
- For various reasons, they’ve all failed to find traction among users, but, like socialism, many people still think that the idea is sound and just hasn’t been properly implemented yet. I remain skeptical.
- What I’ve seen of the new iPhone UI suggests it’s difficult to intuit and, without the safety valve of a home button, many neophytes might find it bewildering to get around. Until further notice, I’m filing away the iPhone X interface on my list of big questions to be answered about this enigmatic new device.
- A major point of distinction I’ve noticed between myself, a person outside the iOS bubble, and my friends and colleagues inside the Apple ecosystem is that we basically can’t think of a new iPhone the same way. I consider it in clinical terms, assessing its specs, value for money, likely durability of the design, and relative advantages to Android alternatives.
- People who are already entrenched iOS users regard the iPhone X in a more emotional fashion; it’s like they’re about to have a new child rather than a new phone. “I don’t care, I’ve waited three years to upgrade, I’m buying an iPhone X” is one refrain I’ve heard, and it’s thoroughly understandable.
- If your entire life is tied up in iMessage and other Apple services, your only option for a new phone is another iPhone, and so the iPhone X is a hugely exciting device just by virtue of finally being meaningfully different.
- The level of commitment and loyalty that Apple has engendered among its users is exactly what Google is trying to establish with its Pixel line among Android users. I see nothing fanatical or excessive about it, as I think both companies are “locking down” users through the strength of the services and conveniences they provide. But the further we go into the iPhone X and Google Pixel future, the more dividing lines
- I’m seeing between the two paths. Apple’s new features are intrinsically tied to its new hardware — such as the multi-sensor array required for Face ID and animoji face mapping — while Google is providing free Google Photos storage and the best camera algorithms in the business with its Pixel line.
- It’s probably because I value the latter company’s offering so highly that I can’t truly get excited about the novelties from the former.
