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.

Looks like a fantastic upgrade. The security features seem very impressive..

BTW, I agree with you...Some of the comments here are just over the top...

I do apologise. I thought the legal aspects were interesting. Nothing personal, just thinking out loud.

Apple won't use nfc. This is their route, at least thats what i've read.

Quimby calls anybody who remotely supports Apple products “fanboy”.
