Have you seen any on iPhone5? That was mainly iPhone 4's problem, iirc.

And peeking 4 digits passcode is even easier. Also, this scanner may be a bit more sophisticated.

It's all in hardware. And that's iPhone 5S' hardware, 64bit and all.

Also, this scanner may be a bit more sophisticated. Very true, I'm looking at this less from a position of preventing a friend from fraping you, and more from a business security standpoint where you would hopefully shield a passcode, and probably use a longer alphanumeric one anyway. Not sure that a fingerprint beats that. > It's all in hardware. And that's iPhone 5S' hardware, 64bit and all. Of course, I don't think performance will be the issue, but I'm just hoping that there isn't an issue with practicality. So many of Apple's things are good in theory, and not usable in practice, at least for me. (iCloud CoreData sync, Photo Stream, Siri, AirPlay, FaceTime...).
