Yeah face id is pretty good, no android phones seem to use the ir dot camera which makes me think Apple has a "patent" on it ...lame considering the dot projector is ripped straight out of kinekt.

Google does the memory photo thing too, but only if you use their app which I don't.

Android has had multi language keyboard support for the longest time, in addition to being able to install whatever keyboard I like (I use SwiftKey, it's brilliant) I can also install an llm based one as I please.

Android/my keyboard already does event detection/suggestion in text and has been doing for as long as I remember.

None of these are reasons to buy an iPhone...just reasons to buy a phone, lmao.

FYI Apple bought the company that made the kinect sensors. The Face ID module on iPhones is a mini kinect.
