  1. I wouldn’t ever saving banking information. You just have to memorize that

  2. This maybe the way Apple wants to protect your phone, but, I don't even use a 'lockdown' method for my phone. 🤷‍♀️ I find the whole process onerous, especially after setting a bio-metric method and having the system ask for a password to be entered every third use. Not worth it to me; of course, I am the one person in the world who doesn't use banking apps, so I feel fairly safe. 🤔

  3. It can identify your particular butt smell.

  4. I've owned around 50 iPhone.
    Never had one returned.

  5. hope this feature also available in mac

  6. Curious why the (online) story didn’t contain instructions on how to set and which software version it applies too.

  7. What if someone stole my iPhone and ask me for the password? I heard the thief can access quickly n blocked with another passcode

  8. Touch ID? How about when you are sleeping and then make your finger tap on your phone? Someone can do that. Specially people you trusted .

  9. Here’s a thought just don’t lend your phone to anybody

  10. I don’t use my face cause police would open them it happened to me.

  11. Touch ID … do iPhones have this anymore???

  12. Lol, another "feature" found on all other phones for over a decade…hilarious how Apple is a decade behind and yet the weak still buy it up like as if it is new or good. 😂😂😂

  13. I've found no need for a "Can you hear me now personal tracking device".

  14. Hanging out in bars with access to $30,000 on the phone. Idiots…. Shouldn’t be hanging out in bars anyway, the drunks.

  15. The lady at the end said never store username/password in your notes. That's not true because the Notes App has a separate passcode/faceid for a locked note.

  16. Is this to get everyone to update software for Apple’s advantage

  17. Its awful that some ppl are stalked with apple deviceby sicc looking ppl which some ppl use it to what is

  18. This is the deal, many americans like me commute daily and arent near home so will we be prompted to wait an hour everyday? Cuz my kids text and want answers NOw lol

  19. Old news like a year old 😂😂😂😂😂
