If one has access to taking hi-res photos of someone's fingerprints and replicating them in a controlled environment, they can do anything -- why limit to simply photographing the fingerprint? | |

Which is one of the reasons why fingerprints are a very bad method of authentication for most use cases. It's silly to use biometrics for this purpose. Last edited by carboy : 25th September 2013 at 09:42. | |

| ![]() While it is less than ideal for many cases, it is certainly better than leaving your phone unlocked, without a password. What Apple is trying to do is improve security, not to nail it down -- coz we can never nail down security. |

Moreover, Apple announced yesterday that they adjusted their earnings projections to higher than previously projected as per current sales of the 5S. This shows that even Apple didn't project to sell these many and off course, most optimistic expected count was also 7.75 million from market experts. | |

Coming to 5C, 25% is an assumption by you. But if you look at industry expert's analysis, the expected ratio in USA is 80% to 20 % for iPhone 5s and 5c respectively. And it goes up to 91% to 9% in China. Quote:

What all I am saying is, looking at the fact that competition is much stronger than before (Galaxy S IV and Android combination) and since it was a launch of 5S and not all together a new phone, the expectation was lower than 9 millions. Samsung Galaxy S IV took a month to reach 10 million mark when it was launched. Considering that, iPhone 5S and 5C sales of 9 millions in 3 days is really exceptional. Have to agree that It's a cult and that too a very strange cult. Last edited by Nitrous Power : 25th September 2013 at 17:02. | |||

| ![]() What also works in Apple's favor now is their closed ecosystem. An android user can switch between 3-4 major manufacturers without investing in anything except the phone itself. An iPhone user will have spent considerable money putting together his own setup, and since almost all accessories are proprietary, a change to another manufacturer would mean investing in everything that goes with the phone. For a sophisticated user, that could mean a huge spend on compatible devices & accessories, not to mention the reluctance to step out of a comfort zone which we all suffer from to some extent, and the hassle of integrating a non-apple device into his setup which may or may not work seamlessly (compared to an iDevice). I personally know at least two people who want to move away from iPhones, but think the hassle and sunk investment in the Apple ecosystem isn't worth it. Sounds like a mafia tag-line "Once in, impossible to get out" ![]() Last edited by Chetan_Rao : 25th September 2013 at 18:50. |

Now this is confirmed with the tests conducted as part of Ars Technica’s hugely comprehensive review of the entire operating system, and what they show for the iPhone 5 is problematic. See the change in quantum for iPhone 5 alone ![]() Hope there will be a update soon. Original image courtesy of Ars Technica | |

| ![]() My iPhone4 is telling me to get the iPhone 5s asap.. it fell & the screen broke.. the glass.. not the LCD. As I bought it in France, I cannot go to an Apple Store in Mumbai; can anyone recommend a place where I can get the glass replaced? |

| ![]() Parallax effect has problems with 7.0.2, does not show the effect a lot of times on iPhone 4S. iOS 7 was showing the effect without any problem. |

| ![]() Apparently, the Parallax Effect gave a lot of people motion sickness and vertigo https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0 So may be it's better if it doesn't work well :-) |
