Los Angeles court orders woman to unlock Touch ID-equipped iPhone for FBI

This isn't correct. TouchID has numerous safeguards for this exact type of situation. TouchID does not use the fingerprint as a master password and is automatically disabled in these cases:
After 48 hours of non-use.
After a reboot.
After five incorrect attempts. (You cannot be forced to tell LEOs which finger it is).
If a lock command is sent to the device via Find My iPhone.
TouchID is meant to enable the usage of much longer and more secure passcodes without the risk of lookiloos seeing you enter it.
When TouchID is disabled, people tend to choose extremely short, 4 digit PINs due to how tedious it is to enter better passcodes on a mobile device.
I use the longest passcode I can
also 48 hours seems long they should 1/2 that in future iOS or iPhone iterations just my 2 cents -

Apple buybacks to resume on Friday, gobbling up stock priced near the lowest of 2016

Why suffer though a transition when you can just invest in the real thing? Then when Google is floundering on services and ads have run their course, you can advise them to step up their hardware business and be like Apple.
I'm not saying Apple needs to be Google. I'm saying Apple needs to be a platform company. That means controlling the hardware, software, AND SERVICES. That's why they dominated with the iPod/iTunes. But with iPhone they have let other companies take over services. And that is hurting Apple.
IMO, the first company to reach a TRILLION $ valuation needs to control all 3. Hardware, Software, and Services. Apple already owns hardware and software (iOS). They need to catch up on services. Google sucks at hardware and their software(Android) is compromised.
I just don't think there is a balance where Apple can do what it does well with hardware and also do what google does to maximize profitability on its services without one negatively impacting the other. In the end you will have premium services that appeal to a subset of Apple hardware customers that generate about all the subscription revenue available in the market but still only attract a small subset of users while the rest of the world is happy to exchange personal data for likes and tolerate ads for content using Google or Facebook. And both camps will exist side by side using iPhones. -
Apple's iPad Pro beating Microsoft Surface in 'detachable' tablet market
