You missed the part where the fingerprint is stored so it's not even accessible to the OS and are never stored online? Oh, but I guess the NSA has a back door

Oh, but I guess the NSA has a back door and will manage to collect them all without anyone noticing, right? Just like they record all the sound from your phone mic and upload it?
I'm all against unlawful spying by the NSA, but give me a break.

Either that or I admire your dedication to believing general company claims in the face of all evidence that this is not the status quo.
- snom380 13y agoI didn't miss them, and I'd like you to link to the revelation that tha NSA routinely collects data stored locally on iPhones with Apples consent and involvement.
- Nux 13y agoI take it you are OK with _lawful_ spying by the NSA? I do not believe them the fingerprint is not stored. People claim just a hash is saved, maybe - but what is stopping the gov for example to use the same algorithm and hash their existing fingerprint db?
