Should any product Apple introduce this fall have Touch ID?

[Jaguarr40]

Do you think no matter what iDevice Apple comes out with this year including of course the no iPhone - Do you think they should all have Touch ID?

re:

Yes, have it on the 5s and it works great, and if you don't want it. It's possible to turn it off. So why not.

re:

Taz a good answer that as asked would not have thought of it that way.

Also a great NSA upgrade....

I'm kidding.

Seriously though, I do like the functionality of the fingerprint scanner. I think it would be useful on many other iOS devices.

re:

It might be cool on The MBP or even The Magic Track Pad. It would be cool to unlock a IMac via Touch ID

re:

All of their devices should definitely have Touch ID. It is really a bummer to go from a Touch ID device to unlock one without it.

re:

I would welcome it in the next iPad. Having it on the phone, it's now just expected when I touch a home button I should not only be able to unlock, but also purchase via finger scanning.

re:

I'd bet it will be on all the next devices. The iPhone 6 is a no-brainer, and all the rumors for the Air 2 and Mini 3 point to the iPad line getting Touch ID. I hope it's that way, I like Touch ID

Touch ID On All Apple Devices This Fall? Not Just The iPhone 6.

It would be a smart investment.

Also a great NSA upgrade....

re:

Yes. Touch ID is a very useful feature.

re:

TouchID is much needed on mac! But where would they put it? Power button? Dent on the display where we put our finger to open the display? whole trackpad?

That's a great question. I guess it could likely be beside the touchpad or under the touchpad

re:

I think maybe they can set it up so that you authenticate to your Mac via your TouchId on your iPhone.

Great idea Karen.
Good Luck

re:

I have only used Touch ID on the demo models at the stores, but I hope all the next devices have it (obviously the iPhone 6 will) becasue it's a great security feature as well as it provides great functionality.

I can't see Apple doing that because they went through all that trouble with continuity to make sure that you could use your Mac without having to fumble around with your phone. My favorite ideas are using the trackpad or Magic Mouse for Touch ID and putting Touch ID in the power button.

re:

I know many like the Touch ID, but I would most likely keep it turned off most of the time. I use the 5, and don't keep it locked. But I don't get out and about much. I do think it's a good thing. That and the Find My iPhone "Kill Switch" have reduced iPhone theft dramatically. But I'm home 95% of my time, so...

True but it would be pretty easy to steal your iPhone and MacBook.
