    Not comfortable with the iris scanner, no matter how many assurances they make that it’s secure.

      Of course it will be “secure”. Don’t worry, apple will make damn sure no one can access the camera to watch you.

      The data they generate from watching you themselves they fully intend to sell, so they’ll make sure that isn’t open as well.

      Just seeing where you look so they can inject ads into the content you watch while you’re not looking, report back where you pay attention to serve more ads, and of course there’s the realistic as-us avatar’s made by scanning our faces that hackers can now spoof for fun.

      Edit:

      Ipad already has a patent to do exactly this, btw. Eye tracking for ad revenue.

        A healthy dose of skepticism is always warranted, but I wouldn’t state this as fact when we don’t even have evidence of Apple presently doing these kinds of things (i.e. selling the other biometric data their devices collect). They aren’t an ad company like Facebook or Google, and it’s against their own privacy policy. If Apple were caught doing this, it would be a huge scandal, not business as usual.
