- chris_7 9y agoA scarf that's barely covering the bottom of the guy's face? They don't know true winter. (or, like, Muslims)
- foldr 9y agoIt's a tiny minority of Muslim women who cover their faces, just for the record. (I assume a head scarf wouldn't interfere.)
- bobthedino 9y agoI'm curious: can you suggest a source for this statistic?
- foldr 9y agoIt's really not a controversial point. I don't know how one would get precise statistics on it, but see e.g. the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqāb https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqāb
- tomcart 9y agoIt's not just the accuracy, but the context switch. Apple Pay only works because you don't need to look at your phone to make it work.

As someone who goes snowboarding in the winter, it sounds really annoying to not only have to remove a glove, but also the helmet, to unlock the phone (or unlock with a passcode, which is still a downgrade from using the fingerprint).
