Thinking back, I felt like it was going to be a gimmick that probably wouldn't work with enough reliability to be useful. Apple certainly proved me wrong, going back to entering a passcode or an unreliable fingerprint scanner would be a complete deal breaker for me.
 
You do realise that the iPhone wasn't the first phone with a finger print scanner right?

Are you really going down that road? Nobody said it was the first. Were saying it's the BEST. Period. There will always be a first and there will always be someone that does it the best.

There are a number of phones now that fingerprint scanning on par with the iPhone. They did for a short time have the most accurate though.
