Does anyone have experience with iris scanning technology like this? I wonder how reliable and consistent it is. Does it offer any significant benefit over a fingerprint reader such as Touch ID?
Looks very quick from all the videos on YouTube. Swipe up and you are unlocked.
 
My next phone.

Gif maker? Yes please! HDR display? Yes, thank you. I have a ton of video and mostly at 720p at best. And wait a minute, what's this Erica? I can change the resolution of the Note7 from QHD down to Full HD and HD to save power?

Apple is going AMOLED next year using Samsung displays. Took a while to get there but Apple is usually fashionably late most of the time.

I don't understand why folks would be a fan of the imitator and not the originator? Samsung is doing things like this:

The Apple watch itself is a rip off of Sony's smartwatch. Don't pretend like Apple somehow invented it.

Apple has stolen ideas from other companies. Why some Apple fans refuse to admit it, I'll never know. Nobody is saying Apple hasn't offered great ideas to the tech world...some of us are simply saying that Apple didn't invent the tech world. There's nothing wrong with giving credit to other companies. The bigger "pro tablet", smaller mini tablets, bigger screen phones, iOS 7 to now...ideas that originated with Microsoft, Samsung, Google, ect

Right now, Samsung is killing it. They're the one's who are pushing technology forward. Curved screen phones, mobile VR, amazing screen tech, amazing cameras, wireless charging, water resistance, the S-Pen. If it was up to Apple and the hardcore pro Apple internet fans....we'd still have 750p screens on highend smartphones, with oversize bezels

It seems that the rumors for 2017 iPhone will have a lot of those things. It's unfortunate it's in 2017.

So iOS 7 was a rip off of another OS? Seriously? Google came out with an updated OS a year later to keep up with Apple. In fact, Android was rewritten from the ground up after Apple released its first iPhone. You guys trying to rewrite history and it is sad that you guys are not getting paid for this astro turfing.

Dude go back and look at the iOS 7 unveiling. You can't possibly be serious here. Apple ripped off a crap load of features from Android. Why some of y'all refuse to admit that the great and powerful Apple actually copies, I'll never know. It ain't that serious. Steve Jobs ghost isn't gonna come back and bite you in the ass for admitting the truth.

Apple has also been "inspired" by Samsung as well. You honestly think the iPhones would be bigger, if it wasn't for the success of Sammy's bigger screen devices? Wireless charging? (rumored featured for be upcoming iPhone) Water resistance? (another rumored feature for iPhone) Bigger "pro" tablets? Smaller mini tablets? Apple basically changed up their entire tablet and phone philosophy b/c of android. It went from "3.5 is the perfect size/A Stylus? Who needs a Stylus/9.7 is the perfect tablet size" to Apple Pencil, iPhone Plus, iPad Mini, iPad Pro.

Apple didn't invent the world dude. Nothing wrong with giving other's credit too

Agreed. I'm still hoping Apple pulls a rabbit out of their iHat and actually has the iPhone 8 specs ready for this years iPhone 7. If they did that, Timmy Cook would've successfully trolled the entire world

I am really hoping that too. It's the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on the note. I'll wait until the keynote to decide, but I'm not expecting to be surprised.

Forget iOS 7. iOS 10 is an even bigger clone of Android from years ago. When I was watching WWDC this year I thought Apple got trolled and someone sneaked in slides of Android.

Which features specifically? I'm curious.
