Can someone check this on their iphone 6 on iOS 8.0.2 please?

If I go to 'Touch ID & Passcode' , after then entering my passcode, under the option of 'Require Passcode' (where you can select the time delay that the phone will ask you for your passcode), I ONLY get the option of 'Immediately'?

On my wife's iPhone 5, and also on my iPad 2, both on iOS 8.0.2, they both have options of 'Immediately', 'After 1 minute', 'After 5 minutes', 'After 15 minutes', 'After 1 hour' and 'After 4 hours' but I don't get ANY of these extra options ?!

Can someone test this on their iPhone 6, under iOS 8.0.2, to see if yours is the same?
 
Just checked on my iPhone 6 with 8.0.2.

Yep, I only have the one option of "Immediately".
 
On all touchID enabled phones, when using touchID you can only have it set to immediately.
 
Cheers for the quick response guys - seems you're all correct!!

When Touch ID is indeed enabled, I only get the option of 'Immediately' - never knew this was how it worked, coming from an iPhone 5, which didn't have Touch ID!!!

Thanks for clarifying

:D

Yeah - this is a headache on my 5s (and soon 6+). I really wish they'd add a 5 or 10 second choice! I'm willing to live with that security hole and save about 100 Touch-ID tries (with about 70% success) per day!
