recently i found out some issues with it (6S+)

for example, when i'm out playing tennis on a cold night,
i'm unable to activate the touch ID when my body is hot and the phone is cold.
pretty lame imo.

also, i happen to stumble at least once a day when i have to put in the password..
cannot understand when this is happening. something obviously makes some kind of bug.
and it's not that fast imo, once the phone is in a heavy daily use.

and what about restarting the phone?
i HAVE to put in the password? the touch ID don't work.
 
I voted "most of the time" but it's practically every time. I've had it on 3 devices (iPhone 5s, 6, and iPad mini 4) and on all of them it's honestly been better than 99% accurate.
