If Apple do it, they will make it so that it works properly.
Aside from designing the iPhone, Apple has been behind on phone features for years and they have done so on purpose. There is something to be said for being the first to do something, but there is also a lot to be said for taking your time and implementing something the best way possible. Sometimes Apple fails, but sometimes they do it very well.
Not sure which looks more stupid -- holding an iPad up in the air to take pictures, or holding my iPhone up to my eye to unlock it?
Passwords and TouchID to unlock the iDevice is enough for me. Iris scanning is trying to solve/fix something that isnt broken and hardly necessary or wanted. It'll make for a cool tech demo, but i doubt it will make much of an impact in day-to-day use. Instead of these gimmicks, i wish they would focus resources on revamping iOS from the bottom up.

This!
For all those here who just chirp that this will be 'cool' and 'apple will nail it'. .. I ask you that simple question: What problem does iris scanning fix?!? Or is it just another uneccesary tech demo (think touchbar) that actually addresses no serious needs and is more cumbersome than the current solution?
Steve jobs legacy/plan all along. Why else would it be "i" anything! It all makes sense.So we will have the first true EyePhone?
Seems like fingerprint is the way to go in this area, but I can see it being a cool factor for the phone even though I question how well a first gen phone would do at this.
Computers aren't where the future is for most consumers. Most tech companies are noticing that and switching their resources. Apple putting a huge focus on computers and taking away resources from iPhone and iPad would be a bad move.
a fingerprint is much more practical unless the iris scanner is some kind of amazing new accurate technology. who wants to bring their phone right up to their eyes?
Please don't hate on me for this but the Iris scanner is another add-on I don't need. Along with touch ID and passcodes. Basically, I don't have anything on my phone I'm worried about folks seeing. And for folks saying they can figure out where I live? They can do that through my license plate, or just googling my name, or if they steal my car they could bring up home on my GPS (even though I have wrong info there just for that very reason). Privacy on a device that holds no actual secrets is not needed, in my case, and I don't want to pay for that if I am not going to use it.
If the SE had not had serious bluetooth issues, I would still be rocking that phone.
i think it did on note 7 till it blew upwhy do i feel like this is barely going to work, especially with glasses

you don't have to use itThis is so unnecessary
"Wireless charging" (a stupid mat is not wireless charging but don't say that here) on any old Android phone. Apparently that's the best thing since fire and the wheel around here and Apple is being late to the party.Jeez, is there anything on this planet that MacRumor users wont just dismiss as a 'gimmick'.
