Hi,
I had an iPhone 5s, which I sold a while back and now have a 6 Plus on the way. On the 5s, I seem to remember Touch ID as an "all or nothing" thing. Once turned on, passcode lock was automatically on. You couldn't just use it for App store verification.
I'm wondering if it will be the same with the new Apple Pay system. I have zero interest in having to unlock my phone (with a passcode or fingerprint) each time I use it. I just want to turn it on and go, but I would like to be able to use the payment option and I'm wondering if this will be possible.
Does anyone know if it's still going to be "all or nothing"? Like, once you set up a fingerprint, it will always be required to unlock the phone?
Before anyone chimes in with "why wouldn't you secure your phone blah blah?" I have never used a passcode lock and never needed to. And I really don't see why you shouldn't be able to use Touch ID without the requirement of using it to unlock your phone as well.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
