Apple’s Fingerprint ID May Mean You Can’t ‘Take the Fifth’
The way everyone's talking, you'd think Apple was taking away the four-digit PIN! But they're not...<p>The fingerprint ID is <i>just another option</i>, which you <i>don't have to use</i>.<p>So titles like this are just incorrect. Fingerprint ID isn't taking away any of your rights, because <i>you can still use the PIN just like you always have</i>.<p>I mean seriously, what the heck is going on here? Why on earth are people getting worked up about this? Sure, the fingerprint ID might be less secure, and it's important to realize that, but <i>nobody's forcing you to use it</i>. According to everything reported so far, the new iPhone is not removing your PIN.
