One was when I took a hockey puck to the face (right to the eye, luckily no permanent damage) and the other I scratched my eye on a tree branch while hiking.
Other than that it has worked everytime. Takes a little longer to register when I'm in a dark room but works everytime.

I tried it on my s9 few times, but I noticed its a battery hog. Minimal. But enough to make me turn it off and forget about it.

It was a stupid gimmick anyway, nobody used it (Well except poor iPhone users who didn't have a choice) and fingerprint is way more convenient.
But, let's hope they won't skip the 3.5mm. That's a feature still more than 50% of users need and use.

If the ultrasonic in display fingerprint sensor is ready then removing the iris scanner is fine

The drive towards bezeless screen continues, and here we see the Iris Scanner probably going to be removed during the process. While the fingerprint sensor is overall the best unlocking method for users because of it having a balance in terms of speed and security, Iris Scanner is definitely way more secure than the fingerprint sensor, though u will have to wait a while to get to unlock your smartphone. Of course it can be used as a secondary unlocking method too, that will be more useful. Under-display fingerprint sensor is a welcome, be it under-display or in-display, it's a new technology, just don't give excuses saying that there isn't much space inside and in the end remove the 3.5mm headphone jack (come on, Jack died so many times in the smartphone world lmao). For 3D Face Scanning, if it's solely on the camera, you'll probably want to skip that for your unlocking method. But if there's a sensor for it, I might consider putting it as one of my unlocking method

On the other hand, mid-rangers have gotten very powerful, so much in fact that they can compete with flagships in many areas.
My point is that good products are available in all price brackets. That is admirable. Let us hope that things will continue in this direction so that everyone can stay happy.
