Hi Ibrahim,
I think your giving touch ID to little credit. I admit, it doesn’t have that
instant wow! factor that Siri did. Your not going to be demonstrating touch ID
to all your family and friends for a week after you get the phone like Siri.
haha. But, I bet more people will use touch ID more frequently than they will
use Siri. And I would be shocked if in the months to come, maybe a year at
most, if we don’t see touch ID used for authentication for mobile purchases in
stores and such. Maybe even getting into ones car. There are a dozen
different uses I can think of off the top of my head for Touch ID.
