4, actually. And it was by a significant margin the highest resolution display on any widely available mobile device, that has since been copied by every other manufacturer of note.
So yes, standard-setting, and pretty innovative. The maker of that first screen (don't even know, Sharp? LG?) should probably get as much recognition as Apple for industrial achievement, but credit to both for bringing it to market in volume.
Nope. Samsung were first with a 301 ppi display in their S8000 Jet.
Apple didn't develop or invent the fingerprint sensor tech, they bought an Israeli company, PrimeSense, that had done so, but magically, it becomes an Apple 'innovation'
Well there's a difference between developing a technology and making use of it on something like the iPhone. A BIG difference. I would say yes, it's innovative. If tomorrow, Ford makes use of something like touch-ID to start their cars, then that would also be innovative.

I would agree with that. My point was that Samsung is 'aping' when they introduce a feature that first appeared on an iPhone but Apple is never said to have aped when they introduce features that previously appeared elsewhere.

That's due to the blind faithful ignoring any thing else any company that isn't Apple does.

In other words, Samsung was first to market with a scaled down display that used itsy-bitsy icons. For some reason Apple didn't choose to emulate that!

It's because Samesung has a history of aping. Apple has a history of innovating.

I sense desperation - clutching at straws are you.
Maybe Apple could buy Fingerprint Cards and lock out the Android focused OEMs. I'm pretty happy with the performance of Touch ID on my devices, but I'm sure that it could be improved.

Screen size is a decision... not an innovation.

Maybe Samsung will finally have a 64-bit processor, more than 1-1/2 years after Apple dumbstruck the competition with the A7.

It'll be called Galaxy S finger ID.

Samsung raping Apple again? Unbelievable!

The Note 4 introduced in October 2014 has a 64 bit Exynos 5433 processor, but it is run in 32 bit mode.
And in 7 out of 9 CPU benchmarks (as tested by Anand) the iPhone 5S from last year is faster than the Exynos 5433. What a pathetic processor.
iPad is much bigger.

Actually, no.
TouchID arrived with iPhone 5s in September 2013. That's over a year ago. An "age" in Internet time.
I don't see how they would be able to do this without touching Apple's patents.
That will be interesting to watch. However it seems that Samsung is using an existing supplier so maybe the patent issue is solved?
I don't know but it certainly could be "fun".
Name one of those things that weren't available with Android prior to iOS 8
64-bit OS.
