Touch ID in iphone works at 100%

[iapplelove]

I would say mine works 99% of the time the 1% being my fault and not getting my finger enough to cover the entire sensor.

After I readjust my finger it always works on the very next try!

Couldn't be happier

Did they upgrade the sensor? How so?

For those stating that the Touch ID doesn't work very well on your iPhone 5s. Did it always not work well or did it start after the phone got some age on it?

Mine was ok but got worse sometimes I could not get it to read my thumb

I do agree it is more accurate. Sadly it is still finicky in the gym with a sweaty thumb. I realize that it just a limitation of the tech. Maybe someday it won't be.

It's said to be more durable with more contact points in the 6/6+. Apparently an improved sensor as TouchID works better on the 6/6+.

Pretty sick of it sometimes to be honest. It works for 100% dry, clean people working at an office. But if you're at the gym or work outdoors or just took your hands out of gloves and they're a little bit moist, etc, it's simply going to refuse to work.

If anything I think the iPhone 5s sensor worked better.

Touch ID is great, my iPhone 6 is the first device I have used with it. It varies, sometimes it unlocks so fast the screen is still fading on when the animation is going, and other times it is a bit slow, or throws a "Try Again".

Sweaty or just slightly clammy hands screws with Touch ID the most for me though. That probably is when I get 75-90% of my Touch ID failures. Stinks though because I am a pretty nervous person, and my biggest sign or nervousness is clammy hands.

Touch ID is still a pleasure to use nonetheless. Still haven't been able to make an App Store purchase with it though, I don't get apps too often and usually my phone has been restarted by the time I decide I want to download an app again.

About the only time I've had a failure is with wet fingers. Other than that, pretty much perfect.

This is my first iPhone with Touch ID i had iPhone 5 before. I got my iPhone 6 wednesday I love Touch ID so far it haven't failed once. I just need to getting use to put the finger on the home button instead of swiping. it's nice and fast.

I agree. I used to have two prints taken of the same thumb stored to increase TouchID accuracy on my 5s. On the 6, it's 100% accurate right out of the box with just one print stored (except for the rare occasions when my hand is wet but that's expected).

Agreed I don't know what apple upgraded but it's a killer feature imho. I use 1password so all of my passwords are saved and I feel confident my data is safe for most thieves. Now the nsa is a different issue. But touchID is a killer feature for me. I don't even have to enter my 4 pin password unless my hands are wet ☺️

For me it's a useless feature
I wouldn't buy a phone for such "feature"

 

[Newtons Apple]

Sorry but unless you do not use your phone much I got to call BS to the 100% thing.

The best I can get is 4 out of 5 and on some days worst than that and that is with my thumb registered three times.

100% . . . . Not!

Wondering if there is a step by step on how to do this?

When my phone is on sleep, I click the button at the bottom of the 6 to wake the phone, then I try to go through with TouchID, it never works and forces me into the numbered passcode.
