Ugh.
It's not just for unlocking the phone. It's also used for installing apps, buying music, buying videos, buying books, and any other time you encounter "enter Apple ID password".

Just wait, hundreds will complain the sensor doesn't work when it's launched, "Finger Gate" prompts Jonny Ive to reply, "You're holding it wrong".![]()
Touch ID is a real advance in phones. But people put Apple in such a pedestal that every iteration of the iPhone in their eyes must be groundbreaking. It's a 5S, what do people want? That hologram keyboard?
"...and rock-solid fingerprint sensor !!"
Apple iPhone fingerprint scanner it start to raises security worries already...while the iPhone's fingerprint readings would only be stored on the device and not on centralized servers, cyber attackers who compromise a smartphone through malicious applications could still be able to access the biometrics.![]()
My biggest complaint about iOS 7 is the Folders, I can't stand only seeing 9 icons on my iPhone 5 screen, let alone my huge iPad screen. They should have made it 12, its a waste of space to only show 9 and makes it harder to find apps your looking for. And like I said on the iPad screen it just looks horrible!! This needs to get fixed Apple!!
No they won't be a 'must have'. For me any device that scans my fingerprints and stores them is a 'must not have'. If this becomes standard on all iPhones then I'll move to a different platform. If it becomes standard on all smart phones, then I'll just go back to an old Nokia. Having the security services getting hold of my personal data is one thing (and it will happen), but having hackers get it would be catastrophic.
Well if he's being presumptuous then so are you - I've had iPhones since the 3G and have never used a pin, not because I'm lazy but because I don't really need to - I'm not a retard and go waving my phone around in Subways, I keep it in my front pocket where no-one has yet attempted to take it, I'm perfectly capable of looking after it without needing to worry about securing it so I don't.
You're right. Apple got it right by going for TouchID first, THEN NFC.
NFC will become big when Apple releases it in 2014, and all the Android fans will claim 'but we had it first'. Yes, they had it first, but a bad implementation of it. Apple is the one to get it right.
The iPhone 5s battery is bigger and provides the same or better life than the 5. Read the reviews and stop trolling.
I was waiting for a plasma drive with extra long injector coils. Seriously, what was Apple thinking by omitting this feature?
So what are you gaining in reality from the 5? A fingerprint sensor won't affect me since I don't use a pin, better camera is ok but expected and the existing one is fine too, speed won't be noticeable on most apps as the 5 never feels slow. I don't see what people can get that excited about, sure it's an upgrade but the more I think about how I use my phone the less I think I'd notice much.
Let's have a civil conversation. No one is wasting time here for no reason. Ppl are passionate about what they buy and would always push companies to do better. Apple is no different.
They didn't change the dimension but bumped up everything else which would take more battery. Something is got to give.
S series has always been a trap. Fp sensor is the only promising innovative move which is commendable on Apple's part for the bold move, but we wont see the benefits for some time. I think when 6 comes out, it will be primetime. But for 5S, lets not be too blind to ignore the obvious issues.
I can guarantee that after time passes after buying 5s ppl will start complaining about battery. In my view this is the single biggest worry for 5s.

Are people's memory so bad that they forgot about Siri? Every new iphone release has a new "innovative" feature that is buzzed about, used for a few months, then forgotten about. The iTouch is the new Siri. Sorry to rain on people's parade, but a little reality check once in a while is a good thing. A little of me actually died when I read reviews praising the 5s' spec bump (faster processor and better camera) as amazing when all new phones have spec bumps, and these same reviewers call spec bumps just more of the same for any other phone. In fact, they sometime go out of their way to state that the speed increase isn't noticeable in real life. But when it the iphone, it's the new slice bread. The iphone is a great phone, don't get me wrong. But lets not go crazy, and call it innovative when its not.
Appears to be the fastest phone on the market when it hits the street and it still needs doubled cores and more RAM?
The speed increase is crazy in those charts. I have a 4S and it gets murdered by this new 5S. I can't wait to try one out.
First Reviews huh ?
This is just based on their view not YOUR view. So, i take any review with a grain of salt.
I think it will take time for me to get used to the "Lauchpad style transparency: look of iOS7.
that's why i have download restore of current iOSSo i can down-grade, if I don't like it. Plus, you don't need to actually install it, just download it.
I'm guessing that quite a few people will get and hang onto the 5S as it may be the last version in this physical size and many people don't want to go 'bigger' (if rumours of a larger screen next year are true) so may get this latest A7 processor phone and keep it for longer than they normally would.
If you think the fingerprint sensor is like Siri, you do not get it at all.
Anyone else a little more curious?

If you watch most people's use of their phone, it is one handed. If you are walking through the mall with a Starbucks in your hand, dragging a suitcase through the airport, pushing s shopping cart, driving (I know, we shouldn't, but lets get real) . . . . I only use a second hand if needed, even if my second hand is free.
