How disappointed would you be if there was no fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 5S?

[Spacial]

Apple chose the fingerprint sensor because they like the attention, they crave bragging rights, and they can claim they're the first.

They had a golden opportunity a couple of years ago, if they would have offered a "Larger display iPhone along with the current size" a strategic move that would have pushed Apple into the stratosphere of success.

But having blown that chance, they lost out on a tremendous revenue stream. They must be content with their current position hence the rather minor changes this time around.

Uhh, Motorola Atrix (Android) offered a fingerprint scanner a couple years ago. And yes it worked well and it's placement was pretty well thought out IMO.

I never wanted it in the first place

I couldn't possibly care any less about fingerprint scanner

Whats lacking in the ringtone and alert options? (Thinking whether or not to get a 5 or wait for Nexus 5.)

I feel like they could add a different assortment than what we have now. I mean with every iOS update we get new wallpaper, so why not add more tones and alerts. Just me being picky

It was just confirmed "Touch ID"
