I got the LG V30 and I love it. And Alfred, there was a $200 rebate and free daydream at the launch. So the phone after taxes comes out to $715 + daydream.

It's still easier to get a fingerprint and copy it than a mold of your face.

How do we not know the kid was the original face scanner? Or maybe even his phone? I don’t believe it!

Yeah but when companies went through the same trouble to fool the iris scanner you guys were quick to point that out. Guess theirs bias in everything huh.

1 in 1, 000, 000 is just an apple advertisement as better security but the truth is to increase profit margin course apple knows the fan boys will buy it anyway.

There was no Unlock animation, it's a faked video. Better 3D models failed. From what I've read Apple uses *3D Thermal Infrared Imaging.*
