Does anyone know why there's tape on the button?

  Based on context, I kind of assume it's to avoid finger print data being collected.

    iPhone finger print data isn't sent anywhere; it stays on the phone

      Right but there’s a lot of people who don’t trust that that’s actually true, either thinking Apple is lying or thinking third party bad actors can probably hack the software and firmware to get that data. At least that’s my guess based on what I know of the typical HN crowd.
