I think that for 3 the problem isn't having a spyware fingerprint sensor that steals your fingerprint but rather having a fake fingerprint reader that always reports a match which would let you break into any iPhone.
- brokenmachine 7y agoSeems silly to me if that's the way it works. Why not have a "dumb" reader and verify the fingerprint on the main CPU? You're just adding complexity with having to have a secure channel between the reader and the CPU.
- magduf 7y agoI know someone else said this, but why would the sensor be verifying anything at all? It should just be reading the pattern of the fingerprint, and feeding that to the CPU where it's verified in software. Does your keyboard store all your passwords and let your OS know your login was valid? Of course not. The keyboard just tells the OS which keys you pressed.
