            Hackers are rampant and well seasoned on the in-and-outs of iOS as well. Don't believe me, check Piratebay or Mobilism. Plenty of paid software and games extracted, cracked, and available to all.

                If this tech works ok, it will be a revolution for identification for online banking, payment, etc. It is not a tech just to open your phone. A far advanced and accurate biometric tech than fingerprint shit.

                        If it works fine, we will not need to get any other thing to verify our identity. But don't know if it will work well without any error.

                                That can't be a retinal scanner but an iris scanner. If it is the former, I'm impressed...

                                  Now we're getting a retina scanner to complement the poor fingerprint scanner and useless heart rate sensor. Soon you won't be able to touch your Sammy without it going off.
