Petition to Apple to Include Facial
Recognition Technology on All Future Devices
This petition is meant to be seen by the Apple staff to show there is great interest in the developing facial recognition technology. The goal is to persuade Apple to include this technology in all their future phones and tablets.
Renditions and talk of next year’s iPhone do not include the facial recognition feature that was included on the most recent iPhone X. There has been a great response to this feature and very few complaints. Although there is no way to be sure about what features the new iPhone will have the leaks tend to be on point. It may be too late to sway Apple’s design for the 2018 iPhone there is still hope for the iPhone that will come out in 2019.
In January of 2016 a petition was made to persuade apple from getting rid of the head phone jack. This petition received over 300,000 signatures but it still wasn’t enough to keep apple from removing the head phone jack. For this reason, we must set our initial signature goal at 500,000. This is a very high initial goal but there are already millions of people who have bought the iPhone X. Most of the people who have bought the iPhone X really like the facial recognition and for this reason we believe we can reach and even surpass our goal with relative ease.
My suggestion to Apple would be to grow and expand their team that works specifically on the facial recognition technology so they can advance the technology even further and make it even more effective while also reducing the cost. This would allow Apple to implement the technology in future lower end models of the iPhone.
I ask that everyone that has read it takes the time to sign the petition and share it with your friends. Facial recognition is the future of personal identification and Apple was the first to successfully commercialize the technology. If we can get enough signatures to persuade Apple to do more and invest in this technology we can get it to everyone and it has the potential to make everyone’s life much easier.
Imagine a world where you no longer had to carry around any identification, whether it be a driver’s license a credit card, or even your rewards card at your favorite store. You would be able to buy things or identify yourself with simply a look.
