And because no one cracked S8 iris scanner, you know it's better than Face ID? How, exactly?
BTW, they did hack the scanner on Note 8 if I remember correctly. But even if they didn't, the tech itself is more prone to trickery.
No, it's the opinion of security experts. Why does this bother you so much?
Gorgeous watch. I feel like Samsung make the best looking Smart watches IMO. Surprised that its Android and iOS compatible. At least Samsung is nice enough to let everyone use their tech.
One user here made a mistake and admited immediately and well before that link, thank you. I assumed wrongly, based on the tech inside. So they decided to allow payments with Iris scanning. Ok. My bad.
I’ve never bothered to read up on the two technologies to really gather which is the most secure. I haven’t actually seen much written about the iris scanner in terms of security. I know when it first came out the talk was more about how cool it was but considering I’m predominantly an Apple users I don’t read a lot of stuff about Samsung’s products. Most of what I know is from my own experiences of using their devices. I don’t actually care which one is more secure. I know Face ID is secure enough and I’m happy to use it. Iris scanning would be secure enough but I couldn’t get it to work reliably and anyhow I don’t have a Samsung device at the moment so it doesn’t really matter now.
LoL that has nothing to do with fooling Note 8 iris scanner.
The phone was also in demo mode so it unlocks for any face to show how the feature works.
Design is about trade-offs. Apple chose to make a device without bezels, so that it could maximize the screen size based on a smaller physical footprint that is easier to hold in hand. That made a small notch necessary. As screen technology improves, I am guessing that the notch will become smaller and smaller, and eventually those sensors will be able to exist underneath the screen with no notch at all. I agree with the design trade-offs and choices they made. They were tough choices, but as Apple has often done in the past, tough choices are what is needed to push technology and design forward. Many other companies are too cowardly to rock the boat and disrupt the status quo. If you don’t agree with the choices and trade-offs that Apple made with the iPhone X, don’t buy one. But please, stop pretending like you know anything about design, or that your opinion is anything more than just that.
They didn't hack Note 8 iris scanner, they refused to do it even after direct requests. A guy that wrote them said they claim "it's not fun anymore" that's why they don't want to try it with newer Samsung phones.
Also a very very important detail Samsung's Iris Recognition can be used with one eye or 2 eyes and the method used on the S8 only worked with one eye.
No it's not.
Don't we all wish that only Apple was our only choice? Simple decisions for simple minded people.
Lol. I kinda like him currently because he's trying really hard to get back up. An underdog thing. It's his own fault, though, going through that new-age, tree-hugging phase instead of doing the scientifically proven things.
But I don't really care he's from my country. I guess I'm weird that way. To be honest, I grew really tired from all the obsession over him here while he was at the top.

Seriously? Ask millions of iDevice owners who got burned by their devices having small RAM. Just check Macrumors forum.
As I said, doesn't mean it's more secure than Face ID. Look, both technologies have been around for a while. Apple didn't invent facial mapping. Samsung didn't invent iris scanning. They just made it work good on their phones, but the inherent benefits and flaws of both technologies have been known for quite some time. One is more secure than the other, whether the Note 8 was hacked or not.
Oh, ok, I guess someone should inform them they are wrong.

No one in their right mind wants that. It just so happens that it's the best choice currently for some people.
Honestly I love the pressure sensitive home button on the Samsung phones. Still blows my mind Apple didn't do this first with how much they keep trying to implement Force Touch.
Stop lying. The article you linked is from BGR (a troll site). It talks about facial Note 8's recognition. Nobody claims this one is secure. The same article also references hacking of S8's iris scanner. S8, not S9 or Note 8, get it? How many times do people need to call your BS?
Not saying having more RAM isn’t cool and all, but this forum has a long-standing tradition of overestimating RAM needs - for every type of device.
I feel the same about Andy Murray.Lol. I kinda like him currently because he's trying really hard to get back up. An underdog thing. It's his own fault, though, going through that new-age, tree-hugging phase instead of doing the scientifically proven things.

Back on topic. I think the galaxy note 9 looks like a great phone, great specs and nothing to fault. However I’ll be getting the iPhone X plus.
I’m more interested to see what Samsung do with the S10 as it’s aippaed to be a breakthrough device for them and there’s also the galaxy X phone.
Eliminating the vulnerability which allowed S8 iris scanner to be bypassed(which I'm sure Samsung did as the Iris Scanner in the Note 9 is 4th gen and no Iris Scanner past the S8 was ever hacked) makes Iris Unlocking inherently more secure than Face ID.
Sure, someone should.
