That you have to swipe your finger/thumb exactly right or it doesn't work well. It has to be on the reading area and it has to be your print, but otherwise, the videos I've received and seen online from the show display ti working as intended.Besides what you stated on CNBC, I have never heard that Samsung phones have caught up with iPhones. Check Gazelle and eBay resale values over time. That's just data. The waterproof feature might escalate that trend. That's just an opinion.What proof do you have they are stealing Apple's thunder??? Meaning that they are devices that do a lot of what the iWatch is rumored to be able to do. The iWatch, by definition, can't become the first mainstream wearable to do biometrics and some of the other features just announced. That's not to say the iWatch won't be a pretty device, nor is it to say that if they price it competitively, that it won't do well. In a similar vein, the S5 is the first with a heart monitor, integrated print+payment processing, etc. Not that firsts are always best... the Motorola's Atrix was the first phone with a fingerprint sensor but it took a couple years until someone (Apple) did it well....statement about Apple being way down in their cash! Why is that? I answered in a post yesterday, but I'll re-post my clarification here: lowered the most accessible (domestic) portion of their cash balance via the share repurchases and dividend. Yes, they are still adding lots of cash each quarter. Without those two items, the cash balance would grow more quickly, and it seems Cook has taken the decision to continue keeping the balance more managed (wisely, I think)."
