Got 5S, some questions

[rdy0329]

Please don't mix finger print sensor and touch screen. Not the same, sensor is based on metal ring around.

As I've said, the METAL RING is based off capacitive technology JUST LIKE A TOUCHSCREEN. It needs to be touched by a skin of a living being for it to trigger the SENSOR which is the white/black circle glass in between. Two different parts, combined for a purpose.

The extra button press is to activate the ring which in turn will activate the sensor.

Goes like this:

Press Center, turn on screen -> Activate Ring -> (Ring verifies living skin cells) -> Activate Sensor -> unlock phone

What you're proposing:

Rest finger on ring + sensor -> (Ring verifies living skin cells) -> activate sensor and screen -> unlock phone.

Problem: The ring technology (not the sensor) only senses living skin (not finger cells not finger electricity) so when you rest your nose on the ring, it will activate sensor and screen, then the sensor will have failed authentication because your nose is not registered.

This will be a bad scenario for: phone in pocket, phone TouchID ring grazed etc.

Again, that is false statement otherwise would be no point of making ring metal made. Do you have other information - please provide it as a link. Phone in pocket already explained 100 times as well, pointless.
Extra press on buttons is "not smart" idea and defeating purpose of finger sensor. At least they should move Siri away of same home button press. Last 3 days I activated Siri many times by mistake since this issue, extra Siri's beeps and talks cost battery drain as well and extremely disturbing if you are on meeting or something. So?

so when you rest your nose on the ring, it will activate sensor and screen

Why would anyone even consider such stupid scenario? But even if you are touching your a.. with iphone, why it is bad if sensor will check it and will keep iphone locked in fraction of a sec? Battery? Well than stop using nose instead of finger....

for the scenario, I was making a point that the ring would not be able to distinguish a skin on the hand from a skin just about anywhere else.

The ring was made precisely because it's an added security. you need to have a "living" thing able to conduct electricity for the ring to activate the sensor.

The point of cutting off one's finger and using it to unlock their phone will be moot precisely because of the ring!
