More fingerprints takes longer to unlock?

Is it true that the more fingers you setup for touchid the longer it takes to unlock?

From a technical standpoint, I would say that it would, simply because it has to check the input fingerprint with the hashed fingerprints it has stored. We're talking milliseconds though.

 

[jcorbin]

Ok. No noticeable amount of time.

 

[iPodJedi]

Technically yes

But it would take just nano seconds longer-

Everyone complains touch ID takes too long but it would take way longer to type in a passcode

Test it for yourself op!

Go into the settings set up 5 fingerprints then whilst in the touch the sensor and you'll see the stored finger flash. I see no difference in time personally

Or too fast as it unlocks before you have a chance to read the alert on lock screen.

Yes, but that's beside the point. Sometimes I take it out of my front pocket with my thumb on the home button and it gets unlocked by the time I can see the screen (before I know there's a notification). Obviously that's not a real problem but it's not true that Touch ID takes too long, especially once you go through the learning curve.
