Phil Schiller Komentari Teknologi Pengenalan Wajah di Ponsel Android

Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller mengakui bahwa Apple bukan yang pertama menghadirkan teknologi pengenalan wajah dalam smartphone. Namun teknologi Face ID ciptaanya di iPhone X jauh lebih superior daripada para pesaingnya.

Dalam wawancara bersama dengan situs Belanda, Bright.nl mengenai Face ID, teknologi Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR), dan HomePod, Schiller tak sungkan menyebut teknologi pengenalan wajah dari semua pesaing Apple dengan kata stink (busuk atau buruk sekali).

“They all stink.”

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

“We added Touch ID, it took you to the multitasking screen, paged Siri, activated Apple Pay. All through this one mechanical button. So for Face ID we needed the best way we know of to enable us to easily unlock our device with our face, in a protected way with the Secure Enclave, and support all these other things. We had to solve all of that. Other things that people have tried with face haven’t been anything like that. Face ID is a very unique implementation.”

No third party that uses the iPhone camera has your Face ID data. We did create an API so developers can use the cameras to track facial movements, to do things like wrap stickers on your face (like Snapchat, ed.) That’s different than Face ID. They don’t have all the access to the data that Face ID has for that.

Untuk kasus spesifikasi, VR diklaim sebagai solusi yang bagus saat ini untuk orang-orang yang menciptakan konten VR. Meskipun bukan pasar yang besar, banyak pembuat konten VR sedang mengerjakannya, termasuk Apple yang bersiap membuat ekstensi dari VR di macOS.
