EDIT: I stand corrected. I always assumed it was a necessity to make the device more secure. I was wrong!

When i swipe to the right I see the pin interface. There may be an option for a complex passcode but it's a pin by default.
The phone is real. Deal with it.

You can have the option of sticking with the simple passcode. Reason being that touch id isn't 100% accurate, and there will still be times when you need to key in your passcode as your fingerprint doesn't register.
If it's an android skin, then it's an extremely elaborate and accurate one. And a lot of work for something which will be debunked in a day's time. I am not sure why anyone would bother, to be honest.
??? I actually really like the new design. I was mistaken about the passcode thing - thought TouchID required a complex passcode. I was thinking about a conversation I had with someone asking about TouchID and the requirement of complex passcodes by their office/Exchange server.....
I'm "dealing" with it just fine thanks.

Aye - my mistake. See above and I've edited my post.
I know this is probably the new iPhone 6, I'm just hoping like so many here that we'll see something different tomorrow. How could they think that the camera lens protruding like that is not a design flaw. Why make the front screen bubble like? It looks childish and cheap and probably costs more to manufacture. I just don't see the purpose. On the other hand I do see the purpose of the bands on the back even though they look terrible they do have a purpose. I think Jonny has gone off the deep end on this one. I will probably be getting this phone as soon as it's released but I am not happy about this design.

To add on, using the alphanumeric passcode is not an unreasonable thing to do, in theory at least. Your iphone is still as secure as your passcode, so using a more complex passcode can make it harder to crack (assuming they can't bypass Touch ID). However, it can also mean greater inconvenience for the user when he needs to type it in as well, so pick your poison.

Yes - I was just thinking this was requirement versus choice.
I use a complex passcode as I like the added security. Only time I EVER have to actually type it out is after I've restarted my phone. TouchID works for me every time.
Yeah, I know. I bit on it mostly because of incase (or whatever big company it was that made cases for it). I've been closely following every iPhone since 07. And this was really the only time I drifted from what (I knew) was actually true. I don't know why, but I did. And I was disappointed for doing so.
I would say it works about 90% of the time for me? Either way, not foolproof enough for me to consider switching over to alphanumeric pass code anytime soon.
Didn't read that story. Be interesting to see the iPhone 6 have a shootout with the new Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
It's been a staple of b.net for a long time. Not sure what destiny has to do with it, unless you mean that an influx of newcomers to the site started posting it everywhere, which makes sense I guess.

I'd say I get 90% first time success (probably higher). For those times it doesn't work the first go, always works the next try.
Still easier than pin or passcode.
This is so silly!
Do you even realize that your game use case can simply be resolved by giving you a "soft" bezel area that will be safe to touch?.
A game manufacturer can just do that if they feel that bezel size is important.
Easy to guess. Why wouldn't it be?

Bahahah. Oh lord. Thanks for the laugh....
LOL, I use ios and android, and none of my devices are made by Samsung. I am writing this on 1 of 4 iPads in my house ( iPads 1, 3, air, and rmini) I am hardly a "fandroid."I do however think that all these lawsuits (by all of these companies) are ridiculous, all these companies use each other's ideas at some point.
It really gives me an "uh-oh" feeling.

Yes, let's get rid one of the most useful and important features beloved by millions of iPhone users and make it look like some nameless and unrecognizable smartphone brand cos some guy on the internet doesn't like bezels.
Totally, I'm the only one person in these forums that's said the bezels are too big.
