  They're not safe, nothing is but they're harder because of the secure enclave and so on. Are you going to tell me that it is a good idea to force Apple to offer security bypasses to allow said repairs to Touch ID that should be permitted to pair with the secure enclave that was originally paired with the previous Touch ID sensor only? I have a feeling I'm overthinking what the article said. I need to look at the law itself.

    So Apple engineered a system that can't be repaired without introducing a (mostly irrelevant) vulnerability. This is Apple's fault, they can do better. Here's an alternate universe: You replace your home button, and now you need to use your PIN to unlock the device and Touch ID is reinitialised. And in any case, I don't know why we're playing into Apple's security theatre, if there are technically sophisticated adversaries who can invade your personal security trying to hack you, it's game over for you. Nothing Apple does with Touch ID will be relevant.

  The Secure Enclave system has yet to be publicly broken. While CCC showed a hack against TouchID in a lab setting, it has not been replicated and is not easy to reproduce.
