I have missed the subway twice because of Face ID. I went to swipe my phone to get through the turnstiles, and found it had been awakening itself and searching for my face unsuccessfully in my pocket. The train closed its doors and drove away as I stood there clumsily entering my passcode using Voiceover, with which it is impossible to type anything efficiently. But hey, at least I always know exactly where my phone is at every single second I’m in public now. Because if I don’t, literally anyone could pick it up, point it at my face without me knowing, and walk away with my unlocked phone. I don’t have to be looking at them either because Apple’s only solution to the fact that blind people can’t look directly at the camera is to turn off the requirement to look directly at the camera. Man I miss Touch ID. And the headphone jack. And buttons… #Blind #Apple #iPhone #Disability
