++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Nah, just leave me with touch ID. I'm not always looking at my phone when unlocking, and it would be faster to pull it out of my pocket with my thumb on it and have it unlocked by the time it is facing up than to pull it out, turn it on, look into it, let it take it's time because I'm in a dark area, and then unlock.

Another example of the Geek Developers at Apple fixing something that is not broken.....eye scanner...gee what could possibly to wrong....????? Let me list the ways!
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.
Even if an iris scanner is employed, I don’t' see Apple doing away with the Touch ID. Its too easy and convenient to use when picking up the device and wanting to use it.

Agreed. I thought it was a little silly the article alluded to the potential that it could be replaced by an iris scanner.Touch ID is not going away anytime soon. They are just now ramping up services around it and rolling out the technology to more products.
Ah, could have been 5 women. Or maybe a midget with one contact lens.80%?! Just by your statistic alone, that's a lot of dating.
Cue the samsung nut huggers "you stole it" responses.
Another example of posters judging Apple's development team based on a very unlikely rumour.
Most importantly, what will this be called!
Eye-ID
ID (Eye-d)
AyeAyeD
SID (Sight-ID)
RID (Retina-ID)
It works well for me even with my glasses on. In fact I only use it with my glasses on. So glasses aren't a problem. But bright sunlit environments definitely are a problem. I do use it a lot when the lighting is conducive to it working. It definitely could be better but it's not bad for first generation.So, if Samsung implements something first and Apple follows it's common business practice, while Samsung is a copycat the other way around. Sry had to say it
I heard Samsung's implementation of this sucks. Wonder if Apple will do any better? There are so many reasons why this won't work well (lighting issues, contact lenses/glasses, distance, resolution, etc), I wouldn't expect it to be any better, tbh.
Two things...
1) It's currently not possible to use the iris scanner with Samsung Pay, though the functionality is coming soon...Samsung has to get the banks onboard before they can enable it.
2) The iris scanner is completely optional.
If you're going to make fun of Samsung, at least get your facts straight, lest you look like the pillock.
Apple is planning to include iris scanning capabilities on the tenth-anniversary iPhone launching in 2017, according to a Chinese-language MoneyDJ report translated by DigiTimes. The latter website, citing supply chain sources, previously said the feature would not debut on iPhones until at least 2018.

An iris scanner could complement or replace Touch ID as a way to verify a user's identity, enabling iPhone users to unlock their smartphone, make payments, and more by authenticating with their eyes. A person's iris, or the circular colored muscle of the eye, contains a complex and random pattern that is unique to each individual.
An iris scanner on a smartphone would not be unprecedented, as Samsung included one on the new Galaxy Note7 released earlier this month.
Taiwan-based supplier Xintec, an affiliate of Apple manufacturer TSMC, will begin mass production of iris-recognition chips in 2017, likely in an effort to secure orders from Apple and other smartphone vendors next year:Xintec said the company does not comment on rumors or speculation about specific products or customer orders.
Based on rumors, Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone is shaping up to be a more significant upgrade compared to the iPhone 7 series expected at Apple's September 7 event. Other rumors surrounding the so-called iPhone 8 include a 5.8-inch curved OLED screen, glass casing, an embedded or completely removed home button, wireless charging, an enhanced Taptic Engine, and more.
