Jeff RichardsonHOST
That's right.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
Finger on it with touch ID or use your Apple Watch to unlock it if you were an Apple Watch.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
It's got other little compromises.
Jeff RichardsonHOST
It's, of course, it's more expensive.
Mickey PapillonHOST
key interface elements from the bottom of the display to the side in the way that you open it.
Mickey PapillonHOST
It also replaces, as we expected, Face ID with Touch ID, so you've got the fingerprint security in the power button.
Mickey PapillonHOST
It also replaces the dynamic island with a simple punch hole camera on the outer display and a hidden camera on the inner display.
Mickey PapillonHOST
The inner display measures 7.6 inches, while the outer display measures 5.4 inches.
Dark AssassinHOST
One thing that's rather interesting is the dock is on the right side of the phone all the time, except when you have it unfolded.
Dark AssassinHOST
So when it's in the kind of closed formation, the dock is on the side of the phone and it's on the right side of the phone and everything seems very right side centric, like the power button and the touch ID sensor.
Dark AssassinHOST
Since this has touch ID, it doesn't have face ID.
Dark AssassinHOST
The touch ID sensors on the side, the power buttons on the side, the curve is on the right side, the dock and all of the controls are on the right side.
Dark AssassinHOST
So.
Dark AssassinHOST
For all of you lefties out there, you might want to consider that before you go out and buy one of these things because you're going to be holding it with the flat crease side in your left hand, and all the controls are going to be on the opposite side of the phone, so you're going to have to do a lot of reaching in order to get over there.
6 MINS LATER
Dark AssassinHOST
It's just kind of, if you want to use it, you can type of a thing, so...
Dark AssassinHOST
Not 100% contradictory to what Steve Jobs' vision was, but definitely worth noting.
Adam LoboHOST
That one got no argument on there.
Adam LoboHOST
But I love one thing which they also brought back, which is Touch ID.
Adam LoboHOST
I was so happy.
Adam LoboHOST
You
Vernon ChanHOST
miss Touch ID.
Adam LoboHOST
I do miss Touch ID so much because...
Adam LoboHOST
And I always mention this for even the Z Fold 8 when we reviewed that, is that when you have a foldable, it makes so much sense because when you hold the phone, you can immediately use your thumb to...
Adam LoboHOST
So it immediately unlocks very quickly.
Pratt YoungHOST
And the Duo will not have Face ID.
Pratt YoungHOST
They're going back to the Touch ID days for the Duo.
Pratt YoungHOST
They're going back to the Touch ID.
Pratt YoungHOST
Samsung and Motorola spent the whole event clowning Apple for being late to photo booths.
Pratt YoungHOST
Like, we already had this in 2018, Top 5s.
Chad JohnsonHOST
It doesn't have face ID.
Chad JohnsonHOST
It has only touch ID.
Chad JohnsonHOST
The chat's reminding me.
Chad JohnsonHOST
Because it only has those two cameras, I feel like the cameras could have, I feel like they've already built in planned obsolescence Like the next version will have face ID on both sides and then it'll also have three cameras with the telephoto.
Fernando SilvaHOST
It was just sad.
Fernando SilvaHOST
I'm not a big Touch ID fan, to be honest.
Fernando SilvaHOST
Unless it's on a MacBook, but...
Jeff BenjaminHOST
Yeah, I mean, I think of any device, though, I think the design and the size of this... definitely lends itself to being touch ID friendly.
Jeff BenjaminHOST
Whereas like if you had a regular phone with a, you know, a regular iPhone 18 pro that having touch ID on that would be a little bit more difficult of a use case.
Jeff BenjaminHOST
But because this thing is so small and you can have it, you can hold it with different, you know, different orientations.
Jeff BenjaminHOST
You can obviously register multiple fingers.
Fernando SilvaHOST
You know, I'm going to be doing this a lot to be able to get into my own phone.
Russ RollinsHOST
They
Ryan HolmesHOST
brought back Touch ID, which they said they couldn't do.
Ryan HolmesHOST
I thought that was interesting.
Russ RollinsHOST
What's Touch
Ryan HolmesHOST
Oh, I do it for everything.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Or
Russ RollinsHOST
touch ID.
Russ RollinsHOST
I do it for everything.
CarlHOST
I suspect it is.
CarlHOST
I mean, we got touch ID, not face ID.
JayHOST
No, but we kind of
CarlHOST
respect that.
CarlHOST
But you also need two modules, wouldn't you? One for the inside opened up for you and one for the external.
CarlHOST
And that's just an awful lot to pack in there.
CarlHOST
So yeah, it's touch ID on the power button.
CarlHOST
um what else did we get um i think there were three speakers on it it was spatial audio um oh we've got magsafe weren't sure if we were going to get magsafe but imagine magsafe in and also they're going to bring apple pencil support to it
Imran ShaikhHOST
But aside from the matte nano coating and Apple Pencil support, there's nothing as substantial as, say, when the company ditched the Home button on the iPhone X and introduced Face ID.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Funnily enough, the iPhone Duo reverts to Touch ID.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Existing foldables already do some things better, too.
Imran ShaikhHOST
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 can open and run up to five apps total, three split-screen and two in floating windows.
