In glass finger print reader.
I dont' know about the rest of you, but the lack of a button has really annoyed me with the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy S8.

The absolute best place for a fingerprint reader on the phone is on the back. Like it is on a lot of LG phones, and the Google Pixel 2XL I have. It is the natural place your finger rests when you pick it up a lot of times.

I would be happy with two sensors in that case. I frequently touch the sensor on my phone while it's laying down on my desk. Picking it up would be a huge hassle.

Glad I never used that.
I love Signal. It's a great means of communications, similar to your iMessenger between 2 iPhones. I missed it when I went to Android.
It just seems that every time Microsoft gets their hands on an awesome product, it totally turns to crap.

LOL, I can't stand iMessenger, so unreliable
That's one of the reasons that I use Telegram, because iMessenger was so bad. Even when on just a phone, I try to go to just SMS because iMessenger messes up so often. -

Luckily MS doesn't have anything to do with the signal protocol itself.. so they can't really mess it up. Sure they can mess up their implementation of it in their system (and they are likely handling the keys.. so they of course already are)..

In other news the FBI Hackers are children who name-call Apple as "Jerks" and "One uppers" when it comes to encrypting their devices. . .

I wonder what the FBI will do when open source software opt to use 8192 bit encryption as a default. . .

Organized crime has always talked that way about their victims.

Not at all the article I was hoping for, and it really just makes me want to laugh at the FBI more.

Used an iPhone X for the first time on Wednesday evening. I have the lack of some button to start actions.
