Touch ID awesome

Welcome to the age of Touch ID. It's a nice place to be.

 

I want touchID on everything of mine

My car, my home entrance, EVERYTHING!

 

I agree, this is my first iPhone and touch Id is amazing, its like you haven't even locked you device. Every electronic device should have it!

 

Hover? I think you actually have to touch it.

 

Yeah, I notice that both of my parents (they're 60 and 70) still press, swipe, punch in code... which I expect from my dad -- having had an older iPhone but for ma, it's the first iPhone so there's no "old habits" to break... haha

 

It amazed me too when I got my 5s works like magic. My cousin's S5 on the other hand..

 

Of course, your ma could've been borrowing your dad's iPhone and gotten used to the habit.

 

I must say Touch ID really is the most amazing thing we've seen on iphones in a while

Only my gf and I can access my phone haha

 

So funny you say that as I was thinking the same thing this morning, so convenient.

OP, I upgraded from an iPhone 5 and got to use Touch ID for the first time as well and LOVE IT. It's probably my favorite new feature (equal to the bigger screen size) on the iPhone 6.

All that said, it's my understanding that Touch ID has been significantly improved since it's initial release on the 5S. That isn't to say that it was bad on the 5S, but I think we are getting the advantage of using Touch ID on superior hardware than its original release.

 

I suppose she does have an iPad 2 -- so it could have come from there. I just keep my mouth shut anymore. If they want to punch in the security code every time, have at it.

Can't tell you how many times I've told them "You don't have to tell me the date and time in your voicemail. This information is logged on my phone when you call. Heck, you don't really even need to leave me a voicemail to let me know you called! I can see the missed call on my phone!"

but alas, I still get voicemails:

"Hey Son, it's your dad -- it's about 5:30 on Wednesday evening. Just calling to see how you are doing. Give me a call when you get a chance."

I love that my dad calls me and I don't take for granted that he's still around. But it IS pretty hilarious that I still get these. It's just a habit that they're never going to shake.

 

You're a better man than I. My wife can't even get into my phone, and I don't even have anything to hide.

 

I can't do Touch ID, something about me putting my finger print on my home button I really can't stand.

 

I agree. My first time using Touch ID and it's awesome. I've had the Galaxy S5 and the fingerprint sensor on that one is a hit or miss.

 

Touch ID is definitely one of the features that keeps me buying iPhones instead of android devices. And it will only get better as app makers extend it to security for their apps (Discover Card has already done this)

 

I know what you mean OP. I just upgraded from an iPhone 5 so this is the first time I'm owning an iPhone with Touch ID. I never want to go back!

 

It such a great feature! Especially now that Apple opened it up to developers.

 

I upgraded to a 6 from a 4s and I love the Touch ID, wow! Simply amazing. I feel spoiled now every time I unlock my iPhone. So easy and nice..and it's protected like a passcode would protect it...loooooove it!

 

You just mean that your finger is resting on the home button, not clicking it.

I have noticed that the Touch ID on the 6+ works even better than it did on my 5S.

 

Hahaha

 

If everything uses Touch ID, be wary of leaving your finger prints anywhere, door knobs, wine glass on a counter, etc.

 

Coming from the 5 I'm amazed how well the TouchID works. I never used a passcode before but this is so easy and fast, it's a no brainer!

 

My first time using it... the best!!

Makes life soo much faster/easier
