If you haven't anything to hide or worry about then finger sensor fuss is nothing. I only wish they introduce a larger screen. Don't know what Apple is doing!!! To relax on their asses and letting the competition passing them. So disappointed really thinking about trying the samsung 4 or note until Apple realises that it's not what they like but what the consumers want. Give us 3 different sizes of screen to choose.
This is what's going to happen: hundreds of thousands of people will buy the thing and love the new fingerprint sensor. A few of the purchased devices will be faulty or people will require two swipes in stead of one and some people will go rabid about it. This will permeate first to the blogs (Gizmodo etc.) and less techy newspapers and sites will pick it up.
So this will happen
10th September headlines: Apple introduces new iPhone line-up with fingerprint sensors and low-cost iPhone.
20th September headlines: Fingerprint sensor on new iPhone already showing defects.
It has happened before and it will happen this time...
there will be a option to still enter the code.I'd be interested to know if more than one user can be set up to access a phone through the fingerprint sensor.
As we don't spend a lot of time on the phone/net away from the office/home we tend to share one primary cell phone with unlimited minutes and several 'pay as you go' phones for low volume usage. Works for us and saves ~1$K per year compared to family plans.
I would imagine the new phone can be set up for multiple users, tho' if only one user can access the phone it puts the kibosh sharing. Having said that, I'm sure our usage is a very very small minority group so it's quite possible the sensor would have to be turned off to have multiple users.
Apple will include a fingerprint scanner on the high-end iPhone that the company will introduce at a media event tomorrow, widely thought to be called the iPhone 5S, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Wow what a pointless essay you've written. Don't talk about **** you have no knowledge of moron. It's not going to be that easy.
Funny how we didn't see this covered on MRs:

And how fitting a fingerprint sensor will be introduced tomorrow.
So which is better, finger print scan using the home button or visual recognition using the camera and software?![]()

Also I actually want a smaller screen *minds blown*. I liked the smaller iPhone 4 form factor better as I can easily fit it in my pocket.

Did any other smartphone have a fingerprint sensor
As an example of how hard it is, no police force in the world is currently capable of extracting any data from a locked iPhone (except that they have a one in thousand chance of getting a four digit passcode right in ten guesses and then it is game over).
No, not living under a rock. I'm just not paranoid. Maybe because I have nothing to hide. Due to my employment, I was finger printed YEARS ago. Didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now. I'm married, have two kids and work for a living. Arguably, I live a pretty boring life. For the NSA and government, I certainly live a boring life.Have you been living under a rock? Read the news

New finger print sensor so that the government can have access to it. Thank you apple. Today the prints. Tomorrow your brain. *put tin foil hat on* #
Cool new iPhone feature: upload your fingerprint to NSA direct from your iPhone. And it's so simple you don't even have to hit send. It just magically goes to its database.![]()
While I must admit that I really look forward to it, I am pretty disappointed if Apple doesn´t have any more surprises for us up their sleeves.

Explain it to me. What am I missing?
