Thanks for pointing this out. While this is safely storing models from third party apps, there's literally nothing assuring us that Apple or "Trusted parties" will not access the data.
- interpol_p 13y agoApple tend to be pretty pro-consumer when it comes to privacy. Apple is not interested in your fingerprint data, they are interested in your trust and convenience. Those two things are far more likely to get you to buy things.
- jnardiello 13y agoThis is funny. Apple is a multi-billion business involved in politics and power. Their role puts them in the unique position of accessing millions of people data, let's not talk about "how much they love their customers" because doesn't apply. They reached the current status thanks to the help of lobbies and institutions (private and public), anyone who doesn't "fit the requirements" of strong powers is wiped from the market.
- interpol_p 13y agoI am unsure of your point. Apple being a big company does not prevent them from storing fingerprint data securely. They don't want your fingerprint data. They want your money. They are more likely to get your money if you trust them. You are more likely to trust them if they don't lie about how they store your fingerprint data. It's pretty straight forward and perfectly in line with their past behaviour.

- jnardiello 13y agoI read the article. And this is unnecessarily arrogant.
