Samsung's New Phone Shows How Hardware Innovation Has Slowed

U.S. News

Thursday's announcement in New York comes about a month before Apple is expected to unveil new iPhones. There's been speculation -- unconfirmed by Apple -- that all new iPhones will ditch the home button and fingerprint sensor and rely entirely on facial-recognition technology found in the iPhone X. The Note 9 will still have a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. In a jab at Apple, Samsung executives also frequently emphasize that their phones have standard headphone jacks, which newer iPhones no longer do.
