Update could greatly improve iPhone 5s fingerprint scanning accuracy

My experience has been flawless so far, minus two reasonable things: oily/dirty fingers. Not a huge problem but yea, 100 times better than Samsungs or HTCs fingerprint scanner.

For me touch id is always 100% accurate. Never an issue.

Likewise, but when I'm a dirty dirty boy, Touch ID likes to play

Question is, how are they planning on fixing a print fading issue if touch id doesn't store the finger print on the phones internal memory? They said the OS didn't have access to the prints, but it can apparently be accessed a good deal by the OS if software can fix this problem. Oh well as long as they actually fix it and don't just tell you to press it a different way.

I'd love to read your comments on an article about apple recusing a kitten stuck in a tree.

my friends has a 5s and so far i've had 0/a million attempts of successfully entering so at least we know if it won't let you in it won't let anyone else !

Yes they test them, but just like any other company, they can't predict every lil issue that might pop up eventually, that is why software updates are released with any OS your running. Its not like no other OEM has had software feature issues...look at the GS4 when it was released, there were complaints about some of the features on it, with the air gestures and eye tracking. I haven't personally used TouchID as i have an iPhone 5, so i can't make a fair judgement on its reliability. At least they are going to address the known issues that ppl are having.

Thank you, I didn't all of these. /s
I just quoted what Mxy, the troll said in a Moto G article regarding an OTA update to fix the bugs in SMSes.
Besides, this might just a generic hardware or software issue which can easily be fixed with an and moreover some reported bugs in some Iphone's don't reflect all the Iphone's Touch-Id performance. I have seen my friend's 5S, it is quite reliable.

Is Mxyzptlk like a celebrity idiot for this site that get's quoted every time an article gets posted that contradicts his views?

29. Finalflash (Posts: 3492; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)

I used to use it on my iPhone before Touch ID came out. It was pretty awesome.
