Talking security. Get ready for it...

Not particularly an Apple iFan, but I think they'll clean up here.
I wonder if Nokia saw this coming and thought ‘fuckit, let's throw the towel in now whilst MS are still desperate’.
Cheapie colourful $99 iPhones is a total win-over for the next generation of consumers - beastie power and grownup designs for the new 5s a win-over for everyone else.
If I wasn't such a luddite, even I might be swayed into buying one..
- luddite! way to toss in some fantastic rhetoric into QBN. splendid.capn_ron

@detritus, set says this is Apple's doom, so you're wrong. Just try any competitor's phone and you'll realize this.
- I think the $99 phone is clever. Lack of proper screen on the 5s and bad design and UX decisions is apples doom, imoset
- point made, Apple will go down because of bad screens and uimonospaced

Fingerprint scanner...should be interesting in light of the NSA backdoors revealed recently...not to be a tinfoil hatter.
- Why? The only people who have yur prints on file are the government, so what additional info does this represent?detritus

to be honest, i find the fingerprint thing super creepy big brother 1984 , especially given all the recent NSA stuff..

I wonder if anyone would be able to steal your fingerprint info by stealing your phone.
- They can steal your print now with sticky tape, superglue and a bit of craftwork...detritus

So they're basically making the phone completely pointless to steal at this point. IOS7 can't be reset or anything without a password, right? And with the fingerprint sensor, if you steal one, it's totally useless, correct?
I bet the bangers in Chicago that like to rob people of their phones in broad daylight still won't get that message.

I've tried two different Andoid based phone and tablet and I REALLY hate Android. Apple is far away from crashing; all their stuff is super well designed. Its their popularity that some people cant stand. Like "my favorite band is too popular, they sucks now"
- agreeBabySnakes
- which phones did you try, out of interest?set
- set, you are quite passionate about this, it's worrying memonospaced
- I don't understand why having an interest in it is abnormal to you?set
- I only ask because comparing any old android phone to you're new iphone makes no senseset
- your*set
- I was referring to your "defensive" tone and your need to counter anyone who likes Applemonospaced
- I never said it was abnormal, I was JOKING about how "in to" this you are, it's funnymonospaced
- i tried Nexus7 and Galaxy Q something, its a new model. Android is complicated and ugly.benfal99
- Not trying to counter anyone at all. Just curious and interested.set
- Same here!monospaced
- They're not phones, but yes stock android can indeed be ugly. The beauty is that it's so customisable.set
- Still, it's better than iOS7
;-)set - I think it's important to note that debating OS features and the futures of companies are two different thingsmonospaced
- Have a nice day.monospaced
- All their stuff is super well designed?? Have you seen the new ios7 icons????iCanHazQBN

64-bit is a game changer... all the new camera features are only possible on the new 64-bit processor. As a developer I'm very excited to get my hands on it.
