Hi all,
I've been reading through a few forums pertaining to iOS 7 and the upcoming "possible" features on the iPhone 5S.
One thing that I haven't heard anyone mention, and that seems like a good possibility to me, is some sort of connection between iCloud Keychain and the fingerprint sensor. For instance, you can now store credit card information in iCloud Keychain, as well as passwords for accounts, address information, etc. I could see the biometric scanner using that information to fill in passwords, credit card info, billing addresses, etc. And it there is an API, it could be extended for use in other apps like Amazon, eBay, etc.
Has anyone seen this being discussed anywhere, and what are your thoughts?
It just seems strange to think that a biometric scanner would be included ONLY to unlock the device.
