Why do people like the idea of the Touch ID on the new iPhone?
The new iPhone has been confirmed to have a fingerprint scanner, to make us feel more "secure," but for me if anything that makes me feel less secure. I know that anything to do with the internet isn't private, but taking our fingerprints? That's a bit far.
Added (1). I just don't feel comfortable with someone, whether it be Apple or the government, knowing EVERYTHING I do whether I'm tied to it with an email or not. I don't want anyone knowing what websites I look at, what articles I read, EVERYTHING. And yeah, you can include what you're thinking of when I say what websites I look at.
It's just marketing, like everything else Apple does. They probably called this a new feature when it was on other phones a few years ago. It wasn't popular and didn't expand to other phones, probably for good reason.
But, it's a new toy, so everyone will think it's cool and play with it, and then forget about it a week later.
It doesn't use the internet; NO app developers except apple are allowed to use it. And, FYI, the government already has your fingerprint.
- Will Apple be releasing a new iPod Touch in the fall? Along with the new iPhone (s)? I want to get a new one as a gift for a special somebody, but I'd rather get the latest one than one that will be outdated in a month or so. So the question is is it likely that Apple will be updating the iPods? Should I wait for that? Or is there no chance if that so I should get the current colored models?
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why do some people like to act like iPhones and iPads are status symbols? If it were, I mean you'd have the whole lifestyle to keep up. But a lot of people buy them. I'll admit they're both convenient but I find it a little weird to think anything of owning one. (This is in general, and not directed towards how people act to me - just my observation).
- What is a good idea for a new iPhone app? I have been thinking a lot lately and really want to do something that would make people's lives a lot easier. I have been trying to brainstorm ideas on an app that I would like to create. Does anyone have a good idea for an app that they would like to see? If so, how much would you pay for it?
