My iPad Pro seems much faster on iOS 10. With HomeBridge my lights and heating are in CC. There seems to be much better iCloud integration too. I was worried about getting the 32GB at first, but with how well iCloud works now, I'm glad I made the choice to not pay extra for the 128GB.
Also, the fingerprint never leaves the phone. In fact, I believe it's impossible to extract the data at all, even by dumping the chip inside the phone. If someone wants your fingerprint from your phone that bad, they're more likely to get it by dusting for prints!
