I know Android phones don't have it so you have no idea how good it is, but maybe in the next 2-3 years the Android phones will catch up.
    I have heard that Samsung is working on an eye/iris scanner for their phones. Of course, that doesn't seem like it would be as easy to use.

      I also don't have to put in a lock code. The LG G3 tap unlock pattern is actually an awesome add-on with the UI overlay.

        I use my phone for work email so I'm required to have a lock code. The button allows me to unlock my phone without and adjustment, tapping or whatever. The tap unlock pattern is just a better way to do something that I don't even have to do on an iPhone.

        • The day Apple puts out a phone that has a battery that will last 18+hours, I will consider changing. I walk and work all day and my phone had to make it from morning to 8 pm on one charge.

              I had a RAZR max, now have a Galaxy 5. The RAZR had the best battery that i have ever had in a phone. It would consistently last up to 36 hours. I still have it as a back up. Even at 3 years old, the battery stays charged about 18 hours.

                • I have the SIII and it has been fine. I am lazy like MG and haven't bothered switching from Samsung (Started with the original Galaxy, SII, now the SIII and probably an S5 soon) is that I don't want to learn a new phone. It really is that simple for me. I don't use even 1/3rd of my phones capabilities as is.

                  • I've been very pleased with my 5S battery. I browse quite a bit on it both at work and at home (maybe 2-4 hours) and I play maybe 30 mins a day of Candy Crush. I usually have over 50% left at the end of the day. The only time it drained quickly was when I was in a conference room that had intermittent signal and the phone seemed to constantly be looking for a signal. The battery was low by about 3pm....otherwise I have no complaints about the battery.

                        I think he is referring to what the phone actually gets in battery life, not based on what Apple claims the phone gets. To be fair, all phone manufacturers claims regarding battery life are bullshit.

                          LOL! Motorola did that first.

                          I only know, because I had the atrix with the scanner in 2011. It was cool. the fingerprint scanner was a scanner and screen lock button in one, and was on the top back of the phone. I liked the feel of that phone, but when I went back to it after breaking my LCD of my current phone, it is noticeably slower. I could live with that, but the touch screen was going out too. Maybe I will go back to iphone when my contract is up, but most likely I will wait until the day I decide to switch, look up which phones are the most popular (eg, no fatal flaws) and make an impulse decision like I always do.

                              generally the case for me too. funk, why the hell are you watching movies on your phone? and why do you need to locally store music/podcasts/movies?
