That's a lot of phones. A staggering amount really. If the fingerprint sensor is causing problems/delays here's an idea...save it for the 6. Yeah it's a nice security feature, but one that people have gotten by without for years. I dont see it being a big selling point unless they are trying to get more business usage where a more secure phone might be significant. Overall it isnt worth delaying the release or risk sending out a product with a feature that doesnt function right. It's one thing to have a map not work correctly, quite another to not be able to access your phone at all. Although, I'm sure it would still have a password to by-pass it, but even so it isnt worth it.
Sounds like Samsung paid trollls at work again. Hey, I heard there were 30 million samesung POS Galazy III's returned this quarter because they were crap.
Anything is "possible". It's also "possible" that, seeing how earnings are about to be announced, a lowlife scumbag money manger presiding over a very large share of Apple (64% ins. owned) is spreading FUD ...AGAIN .... to drive down share price to allow him/her to gain a quick and easy profit. The great thing about "anonymous" sources is that everybody seems to have one. That's my bet.
Let's get this straight: a lowlife scumbag money manager owns a lot of Apple, and wants to drive the price DOWN??? Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

I have no idea whether the story is true or whether Apple is putting a fingerprint sensor on their device, but typing in a four digit code every time you want to do something is really annoying, so I am sure Apple is pondering this problem.
You mean every time you want to… get into the device… or change the code. Because those are the only times you have to use that code.
And those are the only times that having a code would be relevant.
You're subtle, but not subtle enough. Stop it.
Do you use your phone? If you have a lock screen, then the phone LOCKS after a couple of minutes of inactivity, and you have to type in the code to do ANYTHING. Like text, for example. So, if you have a text every five minutes, you have to type in the number every five minutes. I have given up on using the lock code for this reason, it's too annoying, but I have seen teenage girls diligently doing this. Every. Five. Minutes.
If you have a lock screen, then the phone LOCKS after a couple of minutes of inactivity…
Not mine. Do you use YOUR phone?
…and you have to type in the code to do ANYTHING.
Yeah, I seem to have mentioned that not ten minutes ago. It's called security. Because it's the security code. Is this difficult for you to comprehend?
I have given up on using the lock code for this reason…
You're either too lazy to figure out that you can change that or you don't have an iDevice in the first place. I KNOW the latter isn't true, so…
I find the timing of this story to be interesting, just one day before Apple releases earnings. If Apple was not charged for these 8 million handsets at $200 each, that could mean $1.6B in savings to Apple vs having an extra 8 million unsold handsets in your distribution channel. If there is an upside to Apple's earnings report tomorrow, this could be a factor.
Not to worry. Those 5 million phones are on their way to India, China, Africa, Russia, Iran, etc. to be sold on the black market
If Foxconn has to eat 1.6 billion, I wouldn't blame them if they did that. Heck, Apple might even be willing to look the other way while they did to save that much money.
Let's get this straight: a lowlife scumbag money manager owns a lot of Apple, and wants to drive the price DOWN??? Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
Before earnings, when it's "suspected" Apple will post below expectations, yes it does make a lot of sense because it's easier and all of the good news, products, etc. will come out later on, so they will stock up at the lowest price possible. Who do you think posts all of the FUD anyway, single unit shareholders?
It's like the old riddle what is always coming but never gets here? Tomorrow. The impossible isn't possible, but once something previously deemed impossible becomes possible it's no longer impossible.
So I'm thinking that the best way to state "the impossible" then, might be with the words "at this time". ...
Not a credible report. With the millions of phones Apple has shipped, it's not easy to imagine millions of phones would pass quality checks, then fail quality checks. It's not like see-through yoga pants.

In other words .... even the impossible is possible ... we just don't know how ...yet.
