"Facial recognition function?"
Looking at the highlighted document, Steve Jobs' expression suddenly changed.
Jobs had also considered the concept of perfectly combining facial recognition technology with mobile phones, and had even discussed it with Cook.
However, Jobs ultimately abandoned the idea because the current facial recognition technology was not yet mature.
To use facial recognition technology, users would need to open their mouths, blink, shake their heads, nod, and perform other actions to be successfully identified.
In Jobs' eyes, these actions were unacceptable because they were simply too silly.
If the iPhone were to launch such a function, it would become a global laughing stock.
Therefore, although Jobs had considered integrating facial recognition technology into the Apple iOS system, he ultimately abandoned it and chose the fingerprint recognition technology route.
"They actually adopted facial recognition technology? How foolish."
When Cook saw that the Geek Smart Phone system had integrated facial recognition technology, he immediately burst into mocking laughter.
After all, to use facial recognition technology, one had to shake their head, nod, turn their head, blink, and perform other actions, which was simply too foolish.
"Do you have a mobile phone?"
Jobs frowned and asked his female secretary.
"Yes."
The female secretary took out a Geek S2 smart phone from her pocket. Judging from the phone's pink casing, it seemed to be her personal phone.
Upon seeing that his company's employee was using a phone from another company, Cook's expression immediately became displeased.
However, Apple ultimately did not restrict employees' right to use any particular mobile phone, so he could only forcibly suppress his displeasure and stepped forward to take a look.
First of all, there was nothing to say about the basic system updates, but in terms of functionality, there were many new and practical features added.
These many new features also made Jobs and Cook nod slightly, and they decided that the next generation of i0S system should also have the same practical functions.
Next was the most critical facial recognition function test.
The first step, of course, was to record facial data in the Geek Smart Phone system.
This facial data recording was still the old routine, requiring actions such as opening the mouth, shaking the head, blinking, and nodding. There was nothing to say about it.
Then, when the facial data recording was completed and the official testing began, Cook and Jobs' expressions changed dramatically.
Because they discovered that after the female secretary turned off the screen and turned it on again, it automatically unlocked the screen with just a glance!
There were no nodding, shaking, blinking, opening of the mouth, or other actions that they had imagined!
"How is this possible?!"
Cook looked shocked.
Because in his imagination, to unlock the screen, the user should be required to do silly actions such as blinking, shaking their head, opening their mouth, and nodding.
But what was he seeing now?
No action was needed at all, and the phone directly recognized the face and unlocked successfully?
"I don't believe it."
After saying that, Cook rudely reached out and snatched the female secretary's phone.
Immediately, he clicked the power button to turn off the screen, and then clicked the power button to turn on the screen.
"Facial recognition failed. Please unlock the screen by entering your password."
This text appeared at the top of the phone screen.
Seeing this, Cook handed the phone to Jobs with a look of embarrassment, and Jobs also performed the same operation.
The final result was naturally the same, and it did not pass.
Then, the three of them walked out of the president's office and consecutively found hundreds of employees to conduct facial recognition unlock tests, and ultimately none of them passed.
After learning of this result, Cook's face turned green and red, as if he had eaten a lump of unidentified yellow tubular matter.
After all, he had previously ridiculed Geek Technology for incorporating immature facial recognition technology into its mobile phone system, calling it a rather foolish act.
But now, the slap in the face came far too quickly.
As for Jobs' expression, it was not much better, and his face was quite gloomy.
Because Jobs had already foreseen the scene of iPhone4 mobile phone sales encountering setbacks!
After all, the reason why the iPhone4 mobile phone sold so well, in addition to the smooth experience of the mobile phone system and the strong hardware,
The biggest factor was that their iPhone4 mobile phone had two super selling points: artificial intelligence Siri and fingerprint recognition function.
But now, the facial recognition function launched by Geek Technology was so powerful that it undoubtedly perfectly offset the super feature selling point of the iPhone4 mobile phone's fingerprint recognition function!
Moreover, what made Jobs most painful was that Geek Technology not only applied facial recognition technology to the mobile phone's screen unlock,
It was also applied to other aspects, such as consumer payment and account login!
Although these applications were not as simple as screen unlocking, they still required users to perform two actions: opening their mouths or blinking.
But it was a fact that users could log in to all software and games with just one face, and at the same time, they could also make payments and consume.
Therefore, Jobs' face was quite gloomy, and he had already foreseen the consequences of the future plunge in iPhone4 mobile phone sales.
In fact, the extent of the future plunge in iPhone mobile phone sales was even more miserable than Jobs had imagined.
Because the Geek Smart Phone system was an open source system, after Geek Technology upgraded and released version ,
Other mobile phone companies would naturally follow up immediately, just like when Android launched the next generation system in the previous life, related companies would follow up immediately.
So, in less than two months, Apple painfully discovered that all smart phones using the Geek Smart Phone system actually supported facial recognition technology.
For a time, fingerprint recognition technology seemed to have lost its appeal, and it no longer had the mythical aura of the past, becoming an ordinary selling point.
Even in terms of ease of use, the fingerprint recognition function was, to be honest, not as good as the facial recognition function.
After all, the fingerprint recognition function still required the user to reach out and press the fingerprint recognition sensor, while the facial recognition function required nothing.
As long as the power button was pressed, the screen would be unlocked immediately after facial recognition was successful, which was naturally very convenient.
Therefore, users in the market naturally praised the facial recognition function.
However, their Apple company's iPhone4 mobile phone did not support the facial recognition function.
Therefore, this led to considerable dissatisfaction among many potential consumers.
And their way of expressing their dissatisfaction was naturally not to buy iPhone4 mobile phones, allowing Apple to discover that as time went by, the sales of iPhone4 mobile phones were getting lower and lower.
Of course, the reason why the sales of iPhone4 mobile phones were getting lower and lower was not only the impact of the facial recognition function.
Because as time went by, the users of iPhone4 mobile phones gradually discovered that the artificial intelligence Siri was an artificial idiot.
This feeling of being deceived led them to expose this matter on Twitter, Facebook, Geek groups, and various forums, venting their dissatisfaction.
These complaining remarks did not count for much in the short term, but after a month of brewing, they would form a general trend of public opinion.
Ultimately, the mythical aura of the iPhone4 mobile phone was shaken, and artificial intelligence Siri became a joke.
Then, coupled with the myth of the fingerprint recognition function being overthrown by the facial recognition function, under the double blow, how could the sales of iPhone4 mobile phones not get lower and lower as time went by?
And this naturally made Apple company mourn up and down. They did not expect that Apple company's golden age would only last for more than a month before it ended. Apple company was really too miserable.
Among them, Apple CEO Cook was the most uncomfortable.
After all, he had previously thought somewhat arrogantly that Apple company would definitely win in the future.
But now, the dream of the rise of the iPhone mobile phone was shattered, which made Cook feel quite uncomfortable.
Therefore, he increasingly resented Geek Technology and increasingly wanted to bankrupt Geek Technology.
So, Cook, who could not sit still, immediately sought out Jobs, preparing to give Geek Technology a ruthless blow.
And Geek Technology did not know this, did not know how much trouble Cook, this 'small person' of the current era, would bring to Geek Technology in the future.
