Apple uses fingerprints in addition to the PIN. To do anything security wise in iOS, you have to enter your PIN. You can use your fingerprint to unlock the phone but only if the phone has been unlocked by the PIN previously. I'm sure numerous improvements can be made for this system but it's more of a form of second factor authentication than a primary form of authentication in iOS.
