It's disappointing to see the industry blindly copy Apple for no reason other than it being what Apple did. I am also a big fan of the fingerprint sensor, and think that some Android phones bettered the iPhone by putting on the back of the phone. Shame to say goodbye to all that.

>blindly copy Apple

What makes you think that's what's going on here? You don't think Google did their own market and user research before making this thing?

Yes. I have even heard that they get market research on features after they had launched instead of early enough to use in decision-making. Google's product team is incompetent.
