You can’t beat basic black. Everything else is distraction.

fingerprinting by NSA what could go wrong

[Red in Blue PA]

allows users to use their fingerprint to access information in their phone.

And then the NSA has direct access to your biometric assets.

No thanks.

They look like cheap toys.

I’m glad my wife and I switched to the Galaxy S3.

[GOPsterinMA]

So Apple copied Nokia’s color scheme? How innovative...

I’ll wait for the Nexus 5.

Should cut down on theft, unless of course they start chopping off fingers too

My HTC Evo has been a pain since I bought it. The battery doesn’t make it to 3:30pm on standby. Half the time the screen is frozen when it is ringing, making it impossible to answer. It told me I have no room for email or messages, even though I had deleted all messages, email, and photos. I have had it reset to factory settings twice and within a week it was back to it’s bad old habits.

One by one my family and friends have switched from Droids to iPhones and are very happy to have phones that just consistently do what they are supposed to. I will be getting a new iPhone 5S before the end of the month.

Droid can go pound sand.

What happens when you get a cut on your finger, or have on a band-aid? That CHANGES your fingerprint! You might be locked out of your own phone. And in an emergency, no on else could use it, either.

The future is in plastics!

I was hoping for a bigger screen. If I don’t have my glasses on, I can use my 5 inch phone, I can’t do anything on my wife’s iphone.

[dennisw]

gays and girls will buy the new gumdrop iphones.

[catnipman]

Oh boy! Colored iPhones. I’m sure Jobs would have been thrilled with such innovation.

[itsahoot]

Apple is Doomed, Again!
And this better be the last time.

[longtermmemmory]

easy to bypass with gummy bears.

fingerprint tech is soooo 20th century.

apple is getting desperate if they think this is high tech.

[moehoward]

iOS 7 is what I’m waiting for.

[montag813]

STILL no Pay-As-You-Go plans for ANY iPhones? Seriously?

[quimby]

Not only has innovation slowed after steve jobs passing, it seems apple can't even keep a secret. Everything was leaked leaving no surprises today.

The ultimate judgement, apple stock fell after the announcement.

[PapaBear3625]

The new function is essentially a fingerprint identity sensor in the home button on the phone that enables users to unlock their device. However, it can also be used as a substitute for passwords when making purchases, including in Apple's iTunes Store.

I'm reminded of this 2005 incident in Malaysia. Carjackers took a guy's $75K Mercedes. The car had a fingerprint anti-theft system. So the carjackers cut off the guy's finger and took it with them.

[Revolting cat!]

... and we mean literally!
