How excited are you about IPhone5S with supposed finger print sensor?

Welcome to iMore. As for your question, I'm excited that a new iPhone will be introduce very soon and I'm even more excited that iOS 7 will soon to available for it and for our current iPhone models. I'm not particularly excited about the 5S because I have no intention of upgrading to it from my iPhone 5, and the possible fingerprint scanner feature is meh to me. Anyway, thanks for the post and again, welcome to iMore.

Thread moved to the iPhone 5s forum for better exposure.

I am not very excited as I don't see this as something that I would use. However, I can see how others would like the added security that this feature would bring.

Not very. Too gimmicky for Apple (at this point) and I don't believe we'll see it on the 5S.

I'm not for two reasons. The first being that I don't see myself using it. The second being I have a fear this will be the 'differentiating' feature distinguishing the 5S from a now year old device. If true, I can't help but be quite disappointed.

Not enough that is going to make me buy it

I'm not excited about the finger print scanner, it's not something I think I'd use. I am looking forward to a new iPhone as I might upgrade. I'm more excited for iOS 7.

Some people think that the S stands for Scanner so you very well could be right about this.

Not really up for the fingerprint scanner ... but hopefully there are other features which are more exciting.

S for Security.

S for Security.

True, I got that wrong. http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/09/10/s-in-iphone-5s-model-may-stand-for-security/ Only Apple knows for sure though. I read some where that the S was for Steve too, but that one seems more unlikely.

not at all. just something else to go wrong

I'm not too excited about this device itself. I'm more excited about iOS 7 being publicly released.

 

[jclisenby]

Sounds cool, but not a big deal to me. I just want iOS 7.

I'm more curious about it than excited. I'm interested to see how well it will work and how fast it will work. If it isn't any faster than unlocking with a pin then I probably won't use it. I would actually rather have the home button act as a notification light, similar to what one of the LG phones has. I think there is one that has a ring around the home button that lights up for notifications. That would have gotten me more excited than a fingerprint scanner in all honesty.

Can't wait to see the first thread that someone posted about finding a way around the fingerprint scan, cause they are locked out of their phone. Smh. Not excited at all

The Atrix had a fingerprint scanner unlock and I really loved t. It wasn't exactly problem free, every so often I had to make it "re learn". So yes it will be neat and hopefully will work flawlessly on the 5s

Sounds like a cool feature but I am more interested in iOS 7.

Had a fingerprint scanner on an old hp laptop and a moto atrix phone, both were garbage and took many scans to actually work.. Not worth the hassle in my opinion. Just a sales gimmick that just isn't really worth having.

A finger print sensor really doesn't interest me. At all.
