Facial recognition is a giant pita. I wear sunglasseses, inside and out, that messes with the recognition. My beard is never the same length, it grows and grows for a year and when I cut it, that messes with it. Wearing a hat is not good either. I don't feel the urge to take my hat and glasses off when I want to unlock my phone. The concept is nifty, but ultimately not worth it. I dont enjoy the finger print scanner on my LG. I use it for now, but when I was rock climbing several times a week my fingerprints were all jacked up. That caused problems at work with finger print scanners. Unless the iPhone comes out with something android hasn't done first, there is no reason to switch.
Excellent points, Wes. Hadn't thought about the rockclimbing thing before you said it. I can see where that would screw up the fingerprint scanner.
And until that face bullsh!t gets to it's third (read: Working) generation , I'm with you in skipping it. I'll keep my 6+ until it's time for an 8.
