Samsung users, what do you use more often: iris scanner or fingerprint scanner?

So, Samsung was among the first manufacturers to break the mould in terms of biometric locks on our smartphones — the Note 7 came not only with a fingerprint scanner, which had been the norm for years now, but also had an iris scanner. The latter made it to the Galaxy S8, S8+ and now the Note 8 and it seems it's going to remain a staple in Sammy's security arsenal.

Well, some months have passed and we wonder — are people used to the iris scanner by now, or do they still prefer to just use a fingerprint unlock? Then again, the Samsung fingerprint scanner is in a very awkward place nowadays, so maybe some felt the need to get used to the iris scan? Well, let's ask!
