Because the spooks don'd want that

Some facts; Any iPhone can be opened, it just takes some time and you need to physically have the device in your possession. Of course both Apple and the feds know this.

Now both parties also have nothing against the popular belief that the devices are non-hackable; Apple wants to promote their devices and FBI has nothing against people believing that their phones are secure.

The FBI's real agenda is to get Apple to install such a backdoor into their devices that opening can be done really quick, with just a moments covert access to the device or preferably if it could be done by remote connection.

Would somebody please explain what advantages this dual camera system brings. Stereo pics? Better lower light images? Thanks!

Good question. If they're identical sensors and lenses, it would have to be doing two things simultaneously that required different sensor settings e.g., gain, color balance. OTOH, if they had different lenses or sensors, they each be optimized for different conditions or purposes.

But it sure does seem awfully close together for stereo.vision. Although birds do it, we still haven't quite built eagle's eyes in silicon yet.

How about one-shot super-wide angle? Super HuweiScope? Kinda far-fetched, maybe. But doing really wide aspect shots wastes a lot of one lens.

Pure WAGs on my part.

This article summarizes some key features of the camera. One is actually color the other monochromatic. Supposed to enhance definition, replaces OIS, improved low light and so forth. But I was hoping for the larger screen P9 Max...

One of my friends is a retired RCMP captain...
I showed him this a week ago ...
It certainly makes him worried...
he is now of the opinion that with this new type of concealed firearm (which is highly illegal here...it is also illegal here to carry firearms around openly) disguised as a smartphone...(let alone the ones or cases with tasers)
it will mean that police will not take chances when engaging persons holding smartphones...and nowadays...who doesn't always have their smartphone in their hand?

Gee, I don't know if it's me but it often seems like I'm waiting for the latest and the greatest and then it turns out to not be so great and it's always late! lol
