No need to take off your finger from your ass hole to unlock your smartphone (finger print), just open you eyes (iris scanner). Their will be some frustrated ass hole. But we can not stop the evolution!
Since some were talking rectal..."
Thanks
Sure, only Fandroids stick their fingers up their asses so they don't have a good Touch ID alternative to worry about.
Good idea in theory yet Samsung problem will be haft to be 3 inches from device, correct angle and will hold, and then work 10% of the time with anybody's eye, and of course question will be what was purpose?
Your graph shows 122,000,000 (which is an estimate)
Pretty sure they went under 100,000,000 becuase they missed earnings by about 20% for Dec.
Apple sold 150,000,000 iPhones in FY2013. And probably 160,000,000 for calander year 2013
The note is a phone its literally about an inch larger then the 5S (while large it's nowhere near the size of a tablet such as the IpadMini)The older galaxy models are exactly the same as older Iphone models (which also count towards the totals). And they make up a small percentage for both companies. Also I never claimed that this graph showed Samsung single handedly outsold apple. This was simply a response to an early post that alluded to the idea that android owners cant afford iphones. This graph shows that many, even by your numbers 100,000,000 android owners can (as these phones cost about the same as an iphone).
While not totaling the 140,000,000 iphones sold, this 100,000,000 plus all other high end android devices likely would surpass this amount. And that was all I was showing.
There is a little bit of paranoia over here from Apple supporters who seems to be afraid of this new technology announced by a competitor, and I understand.
I just want say: Apple fan, relax! The bad Samsung is not going to eliminate the good Apple with this technology.
SOON, Apple will propose an other iPhone, thinner and lighter.
Since to always and only be thinner and lighter the iPhone will disappear eventually but some may ask for R&D.

No, none of that is the case. You either can’t read sarcasm or don’t care enough to read what’s being written.

Since to always write a sentence doesn’t into paid trolling on websites like pathetic coward.
Did anyone see "Demolition Man" (Stallone/Snipes)??? When the fingerprint sensor came out, people were totally freaking out that thieves would cut off your fingers to so they could unlock your phone. NOW people will be scooping your eyeballs out?!?! OH THE HORROR!!!" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
Apple's implementation just makes sense. You're going to touch that button anyway so why not use your fingerprint as the key? It's also a level of security appropriate with the type of access you're trying to grant. In a world where 50% of phones have no security at all it's definitely good enough. In terms of data retention storing your fingerprint in some form is not an invasion of privacy since the screen is already collecting fingerprints all day long.
Samsung has it all wrong. A retina scan is inconvenient, invasive and goes far beyond what's appropriate for a phone. Storing retina image data in phones is going to make it useless for securing important data because it will be too easy to obtain from targets. On the bright side it will force all three letter organizations to ban the use of Samsung phones and thus Samsung phones will only appear in American TV and movies as "bad guy" equipment.

@DaveN: "Lets see... the phone rings while driving. Instead of putting my finger on the phone to answer, I have to cover my eye with the phone. Brilliant!@
Kind of a dumb argument in countries where it is illegal to use the phone while driving unless it is connected via a "Hands-Free" system. Where I live you are not permitted to touch the phone while driving. Something to do with safety I do believe.

No. You just need to manually login.

...and a toothpick
It'll also include biometric data, reading your temperature while you're unlocking your phone
Either with their own money or using their welfare money granted by everyone who actually works, sure.
True enough, but the point remains.
Exactly this. If they can't successfully recognise a large face, what chance do they have with a small iris?
Easy, they recognize the eyeball with the logo burnt into it.
Of course, not many people will read the EULA about "iris burning waiver" -- but you know, it's a feature whether people want eyeball lasers or not.
I can count on one hand how many times Touch ID has actually worked for me in the last 2 months. It refuses to even scan my fingerprints now.
Well then, bring it to Apple to repair or replace because clearly it is BROKEN.
I mean, really? Are people honestly this.... unclear.... about the obvious?
Or are you just trolling...?
Doable, but your contention that any old photo of a person's eye would fool an iris scanner is about two decades out of date.
Using an Iris Scanner that fits comfortably inside a smartphone?
Not yet, anyway.
Note is more like a tablet
Galaxy and Galaxy2 are cheap phones.
And these are just estimates for Q4, which we just found out Samdung missed estimates big time.
In Nov2013 Samsung estimated 100,000,000 GalaxyS and Notes to be sold in 2013

Must people don't have this flexibility. Please exhibit and send the picture here for more credibility.
