Now with fingerprint sensor, so when the NSA politely asks Apple for it, they'll be able to send them your fingerprints, a log of all activity and voice print (siri). Such a cool technology (harder to steal phones), just wish it didn't come with this catch.


Send all your fingerprints? How many fingers do you need to unlock your phone?


I'd actually want it to have at least several fingerprints. Fingers get injured, bandaged, [shudder] removed...


Of all the vast quantities and kinds of data your phone could be reporting about you (all conversations held nearby, all e-mail, all passwords, etc.) my fingerprints are the least of my concerns.
