1. It’s Face ID now ?

2. We are franchising DMIT Software. Interested person please go directly to the website: https://dmit.us/

3. Mine never works ?‍♀️

4. 2018 now. I can confirm Touch ID was a game changer because every android phone followed.

5. Hello

6. Anyone who's actually believes the NSA wants your fingerprint bullshit is a dumbass…
   It's impossible for them to get it from a phone…
   What's next? GS4's face scan is also being used by the NSA to know who you are and have your face record?
   Idiots will believe anything on the internet or an article…

7. haha typical youtuber comment from an ignorant lol

8. Why the fuck would they want your fingerprints?

9. well to bad the CCC or ChaosComputerClub Germany found a way to bypass it.

10. of coz… the NSA spy on people all around the world… not just American.

11. the US gov don't have my fingerprint, and i don't live in the US. But they can have my middle finger if they want 😛

12. /watch?v=HM8b8d8kSNQ

13. Of course it does

14. owned by candle wax. next!

15. /watch?v=HM8b8d8kSNQ, I'll just put this here to show how simple it is to get through fingerprint security.

16. just like we are being photographed everytime we go to the mall, cross a set of traffic lights, park our car in a secure facility with park assist etc. We create a digital and physical trail wherever we go

17. Who cares if you live in the USA you're already a sheep being watched by the government, as long as you don't do anything stupid with your life you'll be OK and more than likely continue living an OK life, do stupid things they have easier ways of finding you and detaining you and finding evidence against you

18. hey dumbdumb. The government already has your fingerprint if you ever left your house.

19. "Apple iPhone 5s Fingerprint Database To Be Shared With NSA"
    take a look at this report below and think again.
    nationalreport . net/apple-iphone-5s-fingerprint-database

20. Not really….
    "The Chaos Computer Club announced late Saturday that it defeated the security system by photographing an iPhone user's fingerprint from a glass surface and using that captured image to verify the user's login credentials. The Touch ID sensor, which resides under the home button of the iPhone 5S, can replace the four-digit passcode to unlock the handset and authorize iTunes Store purchases. "

21. Wouldn't this open up far more loopholes then it would secure? First off, all a thief will need is a finger print which…. your phone will already be full of. Secondly, programs that use this are in essence forcing password uniformity which is a bad idea for obvious reasons. Depending on your setup, all a thief needs is your phone and he would be able to unlock it, open up multiple password protected apps, and make purchases …*sigh*

22. and saying this with that face sounds more powerfull

23. i'm not surprised dumb people would think he is a coward/traitor instead of a "whistleblower". I'm sry i have to say u've been brain washed….

24. truth!
    this is just another tool to verify the accurate identity of you

25. already hacked.

26. you have to be fucking braindead to believe its not in the apple servers. apple is willing to distribute any biometrics to probably any intelligence agency and the fbi at their will

27. I cannot thumbs up, coz Thief just cut my thumb 🙁 Never using iShit again 🙁

28. I feel like you don't understand what salting is. Long story short, no they fuckin can't. not without physical access to the phone. Check your sources before uttering conspiracy shit like this. Also, Snowden was a coward and a traitor, so don't bring him up.

29. Ok now they are just making unessarsy things 4 iphone i bet it steve jobs was alive that wud b so much better

30. I'm sure they can get access to your phone, but they still can't get your actual fingerprint. That's all he's trying to say. It's a code or an algorithm. Not an actual picture. That's some pretty crazy conspiracy shit if you're really worried about the NSA hacking into your phone to try to receive your fingerprint algorithm though. There are easy ways to get a fingerprint or an identity confirmation XD

31. i live in UK and the UK gov don't have my fingerprint record, not sure about in US, but even if they have yours, i don't think you would other (3rd parties) to be able steal such a private information from you… just saying.

32. Who the HELL wants finger print scans????? WHY NOT MAKE THE BaTTERY WORK LONGER?!!!!!!! IDIOT CIA NSA puppets

33. Yeah..then apple will give your finger print to fbi or cia..

34. Honestly i don't really care if they have my fingerprints… my goverment already has them… and if they want, they can find me whenever they want.

35. It's not about if it's truth or not, it's about it actually it doesn't matter, since the goverment already have your fingerprint and if don't you still carry a GPS in your smartphone wherever you go… Genious.

36. Will This New Touch ID Be In The New iPads

37. i think it's more of an idiot to believe what Apple tell you is the truth lol (brain washed sheep).

38. exactly what i was thinking…

39. the technology is great no doubt, but unfortunately Apple is one of NSA's little puppies… also I'm not surprised if there would be apps that can steal your fingerprint data soon without u knowing… as TechRadar also mentioned @ 0:55 "nor it would've leave your device or to past on to 3rd party apps, at least not for the time being…" that means it's very well possible and doable just hasn't happened YET…. I'm just telling the truth here, nothing personal. Good luck…

40. u really believe that? i'm sry to say u are wrong…even if your fingerprint is not stored in icloud server, NSA cloud still find a way to get access to your phone without permission. As long as your phone is connected to the internet(regardless apple/andriod),they will always able to hack your phone data…If u have read enough news about the NSA, then u should know. Remember when Google/Apple/FB said there were no backdoor access from NSA? then soon after Snowden busted them with his leaks!

41. Ivan i Think thats Bull do you think they tell you the truth

42. I'VE JUST GOT THE IPHONE 5s and OMG I LOVE ITNSO BAD BBUUYYYY IITTTT
