How many people use the fingerprint scanner?

[gSOLO]

Never had a passcode before, but this is so easy, I'm sticking with it.

 

[Dextux]

I use it all the time. With my job requiring a complex 8 digit passcode to unlock the phone for Exchange Activesync, the finger print sensor bypasses that. It is a godsend.

 

[TAI182]

I use it every time. Very fast.

Yah. Same here.

 

[alphaod]

I use it everyday.

 

[rockitdog]

I don't have my S yet but I won't be using it. I don't lock my phone ever.

So why would you buy a 5s if you weren't planning to use the scanner? Why not just buy a 5?

 

[cdmoore74]

I use it every time I turn the phone on or download something from the App store. It's second nature. The only issue I have with the sensor is tough case selection. Anything that covers the button is useless to me.

I have a 5 already. I'm getting the 5s mainly for the camera, slow mo, and to finally get 32GB. =).


The real question is, why would you ever buy a new phone just for the finger print scanner?

I use it because our enterprise policy requires a passcode, and Touch ID is faster and more convenient than typing in a passcode all the time.

 

[bigjim83]

I use it every time. I have a hard password set so now I can have an extra level of security.

 

[big samm]

Like many others said I use it all the time!!
Its just cool don't know why but it is...

Ditto here. I LOVE TouchID! I have a company-enforced long password and a policy that locks the screen immediately when it goes dark. I used to have to type the passcode 10-20 times per day. Now it's just a touch. So much less frustrating!

 

[hbenitez09]

I use it quite a bit and have been since I picked up my phone. It truly gives the iphone a one handed usage approach. I also find it quicker to do the scan then to type my password. Its a well implemented feature.

This right here

 

[Cody21]

I use it and love it! works flawless for me every time.

 

[skafia]

How does this work with Siri?

 

[preston181]

I use both the scanner and the pass code. I'm getting used to the scanner, and it's pretty damned convienient.

 

[DcoalStrat]

Now is the time to lock your phone. Because it is like locking your phone without locking it. If you know what I mean go figure when you tried it

 

[trek360]

Sold on it.

Didn't get the phone for it, but it is a pleasant surprise. What a great feature!!

 

[afinch1992]

Got my phone tonight and it is by far my favorite feature thus far. Have not gotten a chance to whip out the camera, but sometimes its the little conveniences that make a big difference. Calculated it out and it can save you up to 15 hours a year just on typing in your passcode and itunes info. That could grow to 50 hours + once we are able to use them for things such as paypal, stock trading apps, etc.

 

[merkinmuffley]

I don't use it.

 

[omgitzv2]

Didn't think I was going to need it boy was I wrong it's faster than sliding to unlock

 

[Realistiic]

I love it and use it all the time. There has been a couple of times I have forgot it is there though and i've used the passcode

 

[justiny]

As mentioned previously, I'm growing annoyed that my 4th gen iPad doesn't have this feature, and I've only had my 5s for one day.

It's beyond convenient and I intend to use it daily. No issues so far.

 

[Carlanga]

I do, works great and fast, I did the setup a little different in relation on how to hold each finger, I just kept circling the button basically for each of the fingers. Unlocks fast if I grab it from the top as from the bottom, sides, etc.
