Personally, I will not allow Touch ID to open any of my Apple devices, simply because of existing laws. Password only to open, but Touch ID allowed for purchases.
I wish there was some feature where you could scream something to Siri (or say a phrase casually) that'd disable TouchID in that case.
All I want is a smaller iPhone 6. Still scratching my head over why they made it so big.
Because not everyone is like you, sorry to inform you of this... I know you probably think everyone should think as you do. Many people obviously like the bigger phones with their record sales (shareholders enjoying the high stock price, raised off the record phone sales of the iP6/iP6+). Oh well, maybe they'll consult you personally for the iP7.

I'd rather Apple offer up both a poison finger and poison PIN/passcode that would lock the device as if it had been freshly restarted.
However, Apple has what i consider a serious flaw in their safety logistics when you restart a device. After you've authenticated the device once after a restart it will pull from your Contacts so if [@]BobSchlob[/@] sends me an iMessage it would show up simply as Bob. But after a restart, any messages received from BobSchlob would be show up as the email or phone number it was sent from (e.g.: [email protected], +1 (234) 555-6789), which I find to be a much worse solution. They have no option to have that disabled at all after a restart. All I can do is turn off lock screen notifications all the time, which is too convenient for me to do.
Stop calling him an insider. Kuo is not an Apple employee, contractor or board member.
He may be an analyst with a slightly better track record in rumor prediction than his peers, but by no means is there any proof that Kuo is an insider or has access to reliable inside information.
More specifically, please quit calling him (over and over) as if all the words are part of his name, "well-connected insider Ming-Chi Kuo."
I'm sure he puts in some time, has cultivated a network of contacts in the industry... ...and his mongering is as reportable as anyone's on a rumor site... ...but he's more like "sometimes more accurate than other even less accurate self-styled Apple pundits Ming-Chi Kuo."
I searched online for tips on how to get TouchID to work best and found that keeping the sapphire home button clean and polished solved any stubbornness to read my fingerprint. TouchID takes about a second, and sometimes works so fast that my iPhone is already unlocked before I can think about it, especially if my finger was already resting on the home button before I press it!
That is my experience as well. Works 99.9% of the time, and much faster than swiping and entering a code. Heck, I can't even swipe faster than simply using TouchID.
I can say that Touch ID is one area where I never say "I wish this was faster" and outside of the occasional wet digit it works well. Now, if they could make it work with wet hands and increase the level of security while still being as fast I'm all for it.
Try teaching it one of your fingers when you are just out of the shower, and use that one.

Can you clarify? Because a passcode has to be a asked for, whereas touch ID they can force your hand on the device?
I really hope that the iPhone would bring more than a newer finger print scanner. How about being "different"? Not looking like the previous models.:-)

When has it only ever been a single HW improvement?

Apple isn't about being different, but about being better. Steve Jobs said this himself in 1997 during a Q&A.

Are you suggesting that the iPhone all look the same with those flat screens and Home Buttons placed in a way that is easy to get to, or are you saying that they shouldn't do an 'S' series for the iPhone 6 this year? Personally, I'd like an 'S' series so that there will be a crippled of accessories waiting for all the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus buyers.

Steve Jobs said this himself in 1997 during a Q&A. I believe that he also put an add out about thinking different.
I have an awesome idea for a super security feature in the future!
In missile silos, you would have to have the codes and you would have multiple people all turn their key at the same time, to initiate the launch.
What about multiple Touch IDs? Let's say that a small group of people at work were all working together on a super sensitive document. This document could only be opened up if all approved people enter their Touch IDs within a certain time limit. Only then would the document or folder become readable. No single person would have access to it.
Be pretty awkward but not a bad idea for very high security documents. Patent it. You don't need tech skills. Just draw a decent wireframe.
I'm very happy with touchID. A huge success for apple

I had thought about teaching it a moist finger but I never got around to seeing if that would work.

Yes.
1) And what if you're detained before you can do that?
2) What about the data that still appears on the screen after it's turned on? You know they can turn it back on, right?

Do you think it wouldn't have sold so many if it wasn't bigger?
