I was answering a question to another poster... that’s WHY I hit reply to that poster.

To debunk the article - one need only add that the fingerprint unlock may be used, OR a code may be entered. Who is to say “who” has access to the 4 digit code?

well, it came to me, fanboy. And your statement debunks nothing. Not that its a big deal to me, just an interesting question.

Why are you attacking me? “Fanboy”? Really?

I’m just a hardware engineer who has worked in the industry for 20 years. Excuse the #@#$#@ out of me if I find this tech interesting and refreshing.

I don’t see an UP side to having people assaulted and having their phones stolen. Unlike the rest of the industry, Apple is taking steps to combat this problem - and you are attacking them for doing something.

Do you have anything to add? Perhaps some suggestion that would be useful? I think using the fingerprint tech on a phone, and then tying that to NFC is a huge benefit to the user. This means that I no longer should need to carry ID, or bank cards - my phone can identify me to the police, I can conduct banking, and buy groceries without having to carry a wallet. This is what I would call “good” and also pretty innovative.
