Regardless if the rumour is true, I fail to see any good reason for implementing iris scanning. This has gimmick written all over it.
Got a tip for us?

I figured it would use the camera too but then I was thinking the front facing camera would not work well for something like this. So it's either going to be a separate sensor/reader or they are really upping their game with the front facing camera.. time will tell.
I really hope this is BS. Who wants to put iphone closer to the face each time an unlock is needed?
Also, can we stop these 2017 iPhone rumours for now? Its getting boring especially when the iPhone 7 is not even out yet. Just start in one month time, that will be ok

You get into a fight and end up with black eyes...the phone isn't just gonna not recognize you...the phone would probably alert the cops because some stranger is trying to access the phone. -alert-
Anyway, note 7 has it... Maybe Apple should approach differently....like being able to read my mind.....hmm that would be interesting.

Might have been two girls total, and one of them had a 30% stake in ownership of an iPhone. Or maybe it was one girl with only one colored contact, and the top part of her phone had broken off.
Neat idea that the technology can be built into a phone. But I agree with many others. I don't want to have to stare into my phone's camera every time I want to open the device and do something.
Kudos to Apple for being the first to develop such an incredible feature. I wonder who will be the first to copy them.

Ha! And Siri would be even more sassy, with responses such as: "If this were a Klingon ship, I would kill you where you stand!"
Interesting fade. I guess, individuals like that would have difficulty getting an accurate eye scan for identification purposes.
I wonder if regular contacts would distort the scans as well. Then there are people like my spouse who often switch from wearing contacts to eye glasses at different points of the day. Maybe the device would have to have multiple scans of a person's eye at different times of the day (some people's eyes change shape during the day) and in different conditions. The person would have to set up multiple scans like we currently have to have scans of multiple fingers.
That's what people with the Note7 are going through, looking like a pillock while they're standing in a queue trying to pay with their phone.
I love people that make these nonsensical off topic posts about other products.
I'll believe it when it sees me.
Will I be able to set it up to my cat's eye like I can set up touch ID to work with my nose or a paw?
It's so ridiculous. Oh hey, an iPhone post??? Let me complain about Apple TV's in it.
Cornea transplant recipient here... wonder if it would still work with that or if the stitches and scar ring would throw it off?
