Did you give your Thumbprint to Apple??

[x26]

Apple is worth nearly $700 billion. They don't care about your fingerprint. They aren't going to risk user trust by storing and some how using your fingerprint.

They sure have changed their Privacy Policy a lot in the last Few Years eg., If you use Voice dictation they can share that with their affiliates--that's pretty Crappy, especially for Apple.

Seems like Apple is headed in the Wrong Direction Regarding Users Privacy recently--One thing they used to value.

They actually need to share voice data because that's how things work. It's based partly on tech from Nuance, and it still has to send some of that data to partners to make it work (say, Bing or WolframAlpha when you make specific queries).

They do value privacy -- it's just that you can't expect absolutely everything to remain within Apple unless absolutely everything is developed in-house.

Right, because it is so easy spying on your PIN or pattern lock, and steal your phone at the same time. Rather than, say, stealing a glass you held at a party. Chances are, a thief can steal your phone and a glass at the same time. Are you afraid a thief will spy on your PIN, and then follow you behind a dark alley to steal phone?

Fact, is, you can change your PIN and password. You cannot change your finger print.

The only fact in this thread is you are the dumbest poster in this thread.

"Hey, lets argue when argue how stupid door keys are when they can be stolen from the owner, or how passwords are stupid because they can written on paper and pasted on the monitor."

Actually, keys can be changed. Your thumb print is permanent. You are actually making the same argument as me. This forum cracks me up everyday.

The point of the fingerprint reader is not that it's superior to PIN codes or passwords. It's that it encourages a decent level of security among people who wouldn't have used any in the past. How many people do you know who never set up a lock code, simply because they didn't want to tap something out every time they woke their phone? Fingerprints give them that lock while making it dead-easy to wake your device.

Besides, if a thief can not only swipe your phone but has the wherewithal to collect your fingerprint from a glass and create a false finger... you have much bigger problems on your hands.

I love fingerprint scanners, scanned my print into wife's phone, saves a lot of time keeping her phone tuned up
