Here’s what the author of that piece in Forbes says: “So I set up a quick poll using the Polar app to see if I could get a sense of what proportion of users thought Touch ID “works great,” and what proportion was experiencing “too many fails” (see image above.) You can vote on it yourself through the app by searching #iosprints or by going to that tag page on the Polar website.”
If you know anything about surveys – I’ll assume you don’t – then you know that the evidence he presents amounts to a hill of beans.

Also, that ppi is clearly overkill, but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually use it. The iPhone might need an increase to its ppi to reach a level close to the S4 (which IMO is the maximum ppi I care about) because I can still see some lines of pixels in some conditions.
Would you consider yourself an avid consumer of technology? I ask that in earnest. The reason I ask is because I don't think that at the current size display the iPhone has, most people wouldn't even notice a higher PPI. As the screen gets bigger, they might, but I've show my mom an iPad Air next to the Galaxy Nexus tablet and even at the size, she couldn't tell the difference.
I'm not saying you're wrong at all and as a genuine nerd, the better the quality a display is, the happier I am, but I think that a lot of other factors define a great display beyond just PPI.
Can't they? That's funny, because it runs pretty smoothly on my Nexus 5.
While I think the Nexus 5 is a solid device and stock Android isn't bad, it doesn't represent the vast majority of Android users. Is that Google's fault. Maybe not, but it is definitely Google's problem. Samsung and no-name Chinese brands represent a big chunk of installs and those don't run anywhere near as smooth and consistently as iOS. iOS 7 was buggy at launch but it's gotten better, and 7.1 is vastly improved.
You’re completely psychotic. Nothing in my post fits that bill in any capacity. You live in a fantasy world where you think you can pretend that words mean things they do not.
Sigh, you noticed copying was in quotes right? My point is this crying about copying is all bullshit.
Apple fans seem to think Apple invented the concept of finger print sensors on a phone, like it matters anyway. And that anything non apple manufacturers do is copying. It's just so boring.
Apple of course did not invent finger print sensor. Nor is Apple the first putting it on a smart phone. The difference is the details and this is patented by Apple. Apple put it on the Home button. And it is PATENDED!
With your copying brain any software can be copied. Because they are lines of lines C/C++/... codes which the programer did not invent.

So, if we assume you think TouchID is an EPCI FAIL and this is proof, then care to explain why Samsung is copying it?
Your assumption is wrong. I think TouchID is pretty nifty and wish my phone had something similar. Anant was putting down an Apple user who was having problems with his TouchID, and telling him to prove that it wasn't 'just him' lol I just found that article and linked it for his benefit.
It doesn't line up with his views, so he relegates it to his 'invalid' bin. I could care less
There are plenty of other invalid sources of other people having problems too:
Instead of focusing on the currently still irrelevant fact that the SoC is only 32bit, you should have noticed that the camera is a 16MP phase detection autofocus unit. Autofocus right now is arguably the weakest point of Apple's cameras. If Samsung pulls this off well, this may take them a significant step ahead.
Assuming their PDAF implementation is good. Sony (I think) had issues with theirs although nikon nailed it in their small sensor implementation. Evidently it is non-trivial even for companies with a lot of camera sensor experience to get right the first time.

If copying Motorola's version means not working, Samsung probably will.
What's your point?

A fingerprint scanner on a phone was not an original idea by Apple, even if their implementation is good.

The post you replied to states neither. The statement "If A then B" does not imply A.

That's funny, I have yet come to see an Android device that can scroll the contact list or even its own settings smoothly. ;-)

“It’s 32-bit, but it will have eight cores, so really that’s 256-bit and Apple’s four times as slow.”
Battery life: 1 second...
Well, at least it covers the average use time of a single Android device before being sold or junk drawered. They can rest easy.
