Exactly! I have no clue why you would use your fingerprint as stupid for commercial use. The only time you use or provide fingerprints is for passports and law purposes and NEVER for commercial purposes. Now Apple have a copy of your fingerprint in storage.

No they don't but the DMV keeps one. If you were ever in the military they took a ten card. Most states require a thumb print on driving license. If you ever had a background check for a government job or a company with government contracts they have your prints. Get over it, your finger print is not stored at Apple or on your phone and is never transmitted anywhere.

Don't worry about prints worry about facial recognition.😄

Nope, Apple does not have your fingerprint in storage.

In fact the TouchID sensor does not even use your fingerprints.

First of all, Apple's touchID uses the subcutaneous ridges, peaks and valleys of the fat layer below your fingerprints. It doesn't measure or make a copy of your fingerprint at all.
Secondly, the TouchID uses a terrain map of those ridges, peaks and valleys in the fat layer and then digitizes them.
Thirdly, a specialized processor built into the iOS device makes a one-way HASH of that terrain map using a mathematical algorithm to create a large number that is then stored ONLY on your iOS device in a specialized area called the Secure Enclave. The number created by one-way Hash algorithm cannot reconstruct the digital terrain map, much less the peaks of the ridges and valleys of your fat layer. That's why it's called a "one-way HASH."
Fourthly, this Hash number is the only thing stored and is never transmitted off the iOS device. In fact, the Secure Enclave is isolated from the App/Data Processor and is not connected in any way to any input/output peripheral of the iOS device such as a radio or even the screen. Therefore, not being connected, this data CANNOT be transmitted to Apple or anyone else. It can only be used to unlock the iPhone and/or used to permit Apple Pay.
Finally, This reading of the subcutaneous structures under the skin is why a photo of a fingerprint, or a fingerprint lifted from some surface, or a rubberized copy of someone's fingerprint cannot be used to unlock an iOS device. . . because they were NOT what the TouchID is looking for.
