  • Having moved to iPhone fairly recently I do like the overall experience, however Face ID is by far the biggest downside over a good under screen fingerprint scanner.

    When picking up the phone and holding it in front of my face it works perfectly well, but that’s probably less than 50% of the unlocks I do.

    Most of the time the phone would lie flat on a desk, on a nightstand, couch armrest etc. I can see and interact with the screen just fine, but the phone can’t see me properly. Making me pick the phone to quickly check a notification.

    I’m probably entering my password about 4-5x as much as my old phone because of that

    HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It’s a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.

    There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won’t play hevc files/streams without that license installed.

    VLC doesn’t really seem to care about those things though and it’s better than the default anyways.
