Not just putting cards on the app, but letting customers withdraw money at banks and ATMs with their phones. Iris scanning is the new PIN.
Samsung may need several more years to replicate Apple's Face ID magic, but in the meantime, the Galaxy S9 should sport a beefed-up iris scanner.
Apple has a two-year lead on Qualcomm in developing the 3D sensing technology it has... now it only needs to succeed with it.
Developers have brought up code that may allow the iPhone 8 to not disturb you while you're gaming or watching a movie on that phone.
Within the repositories for the HomePod comes these mentions of "pearl" when it comes to authenticating contactless payments on the iPhone 8.

It's only days prior to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Does it carry the torch as the chaebol's leading edge in mobile?
