WHAT IF I FORGET MY FINGERPRINT
- scarabin0
sweet.
now the NSA will have a much more complete database of fingerprints. no longer do you have to commit a crime to be on file!

Actually, as foolish as it may seam to say, Apple is the only company I trust with data. They always do things with the user in mind ,revealing as less as possible. Developers don't have access to their costumer data unless agreed to by you. And they said the fingerprints are encrypted in the processor and do not leave the device, they don't backup and they don't sync. The only way to access them in theory is by hacking the device in person. This can't be said about any other company, specially the alternative...
- The alternative reads all my emails and sells them to advertisers :)raf

Apple is miles better than Google regarding privacy. From what I read the fingerprint data is stored in the A7 chip encrypted and never transmitted to Apple.
In any case, if this isn't the case curious hackers will find out and expose it.

yeah, that's the illusion on the surface. reality is the NSA can do and have been doing whatever want with whatever they want. apple may mean well but it's still a tracking device with a great mic and two cameras with facial recognition that's always connected and talking to the internet.

can they do something specific to me using just my fingerprints? probably not, but why should i feel comfortable about someone systematically gathering data about me? if someone was following you around taking photos of you and collecting hair from your brush and saving scraps from your garbage you'd be creeped out, right? you don't know what they're up to and they're invading your privacy. that alone is enough reason to raise discussions about it.

Geez Apple know how to seriously spin. The 5c...wooppee do - a piece of plastic "made out of a single piece of plastic" as though that is some breakthrough in engineering.
- 20020
lets all complain.
things will surely change for what ever you want.
- BusterBoy0
I couldn't really give a toss...but don't tell me a single piece of plastic is in any way revolutionary.
- they never claimed such things assholemonospaced
- haha...asshole. Derpitty derp.BusterBoy
- Did you see Ive's video cocko?BusterBoy
- hans_glib0
no doubt about it - - you're going to have to pay for all that hi-performance tech...
the "cheap" 5c is £469/549 (16gb/32gb)
the 5s a snip at £549/£629/£709 (16gb/32gb/64gb)- pretty much the same as high end samsungs/ HTC no?kingsteven
- no idea to be honest. it's just interesting to see the real cost of the phone undisguised by contract costshans_glib
- it's not disguised, fuckwad, those are standard phone prices across the boardmonospaced
- So hostile, mono. Someone piss on your iPhone?404NotFound

Complaining about fingerprints... in a country that logs your finger and eye biometrics on the way in and out of it.
- set0
So the 5c is £469?
HAHAHAHA
- Yep, cheap eh!? So fucking over priced. The 16GB 5s is £549!!goldieboy
- Not sure what's worth, the price or the fact that millions of arseholes will pay it.set
- worse*
Worth, haha I have a lisp.set - I'm considering making the switch based on these prices.goldieboy
- To android? I switched earlier this year and at this rate will never look back. Love it.set
- If nothing else but for the bigger screen, I look at my gf's iphone and it's fucking tiny and pointless in comparisonset
- seems steep eh? guessing its so they can offer £40 p/m contracts with no downpayment.kingsteven
- You can get a nexus 4 for a £159
set - dude, i'm not trying to defend the price, i'm considering the switch too but nexus is shitty. . .kingsteven
- anything comparable is about the same price as the 5c. but i'd pay an extra £100 for black.kingsteven
- it didn't think you were trying to defend it. The nexus isn't a shitty phone at all. Still...set
- I have a sony xperia Z and for the same price as the 5c it's better in every wayset
- i'd consider the Z1 but just too big! (fucking 5s is too big too IMHO), i have an iPad for that shit. http://imgur.com/YJq…kingsteven
- also, its gonna be more expensive than the 32gb 5s... which i agree is stupid money for a phone.kingsteven
- I'm the opposite. The Z is perfectly sized, the iphone is far too small. Z1 is a bit too big though yes.set
- Also I got rid of my ipad, just have a phone and desktop.set

Do the people that complain have an iPhone or ever had one recently? Because it seams they only b.a.s.h for the sake of b.a.s.h.i.n.g. Apple never told the new one was to be cheap or low-cost, it was the media who said that. It's cheaper, not cheap. You should complain instead on the false headlines that the media feed you with, so they can get more clicks, but you don't question that even for a second. I lost my phone and had to buy a temporary replacement, I bought a cheap Android. And you know what, it's cheap and I can feel it just by touching it, and specially by using it. Apple would never release something like that, that's why they don't do cheap. It's awfully painful. I know that high end Androids have a smoother experience but that's just maybe like 5% of Androids worldwide. The people that can't understand the difference... well I don't give a fuck.. I need to stop caring about this shit arguments..
- fanboy much?albums
- ...ESKEMA
- see? the second anyone talks sense about Apple quality someone calls them a fanboymonospaced
- yep, it's all about the contract price anyway... no down payment with contract will be big with parents @ xmas.kingsteven
- so forget 'cheap', as far as the high street is concerned it's 'free'...kingsteven
