that picture is pretty old guys. I use Iris scan at Schiphol at least twice a month with their Privium service. Excellent and really fast!

This is the newest low-cost sister airport in Poland I guess

Oh thank good for that, I didn't see it came from that website!! False alarm nothing to see....
I can't see how iris scans would be faster or more convenient. More secure? I can see that, and for that reason, I'm with you... It should be in addition to, not the only means, of unlocking the iPhone.
The Motorola was using Authentec finger print scanner before Apple did.
All are designed to be "better" not foolproof..
You'd be out of luck if u'r blind if iris scanning WAS the only solution.

Any idea how many folk reading this own Samsung and Apple products.. are they all deluded fools?
and in 2021 they will be able to analyse dna and send you to jail. you can turn off the notifications though if you wan't to be surprised.
No, i don't either. Utter nonsense. Totally inappropriate for a handheld device.
I'm just correcting several false statements about iris scanning in this thread.
It might not be a bad thing if people could not access their phones after consuming alcohol.
Not necessarily. Let's see how well Samsung's implementation actually works. Remember Apple wasn't the first with a fingerprint sensor, either, but they were the first to get it right.
Imagine someone going to a Halloween party or ComicCon with funky contacts (say, the cat eye ones) and... they can't use their phone at all for the duration.
That's why those who are truly thinking ahead add their nose to TouchID.
Five years ago my brother had a laptop with an iris scanner, and it was like something out of an old episode of Get Smart - every time he opens his laptop, minutes and minutes of leaning over the machine repeatedly, taking his glasses off, adjusting position, turning on room lights, carrying the laptop to a brighter room... Meanwhile I typed my long, complex, password on my MacBook Pro in two seconds. Apple has a pretty good track record of waiting until they can get tech to work well before adding it to their hardware (like TouchID), rather than racing to add another (half-implemented) bullet point to the product marketing the way a lot of other companies do.Right now the Note 7's scanner doesn't play nice with glasses, contacts, puffy eyes, narrowed eyes, poor lighting conditions, bright lighting conditions, and must be a certain distance away from your eyes or it will do something not very nice to your eyeballs. So basically I have a better chance of turning into a werewolf than I have of it working for me.
I hear the 2023 iPhone will be truly magnificent.This, so much this!
Just so much of awesome stuff is expected on 2017 and now 2018 models.
You should know by now that Apple doesn't need an "excuse" do to anything... it just does it and you'll like it. Kind of like an arranged marriage with an attractive woman from a wealthy family, but also a bit on the demanding side.
Nah, you want the model that comes with the trepanation kit to install the harmless brain electrochemical activity authentication sensor inside your skull.
So you would rather Apple rush it and have a crappy user experience. No thanks. And in what other ways is Apple behind. It is surely not is processing speed since Apple kicks ass there. What other great hardware features is Apple missing ?
samsung already announced iris scanning capability nearly 2months ago it will most likely be on next galaxy note. Which is due in 10 days

I DO NOT WANT AN AUDIO JACK STUCK IN MY EYE. In that case I'd prefer the iris scanner, thanks Much more non-invasive.
Also, 3.5-inch audio jack? The plug would be larger than a Coke can. I mean, sure, lots of surface area for good electrical contact, but that'd be over 25 times larger in diameter than the current 3.5mm jacks. I don't think Jony would go for it.
