I am still worried that NSA might have backdoor access to the A7 processor causing them to be able to get my Fingerprint, and track me 24/7. I am also worried that the finger ID sensor might keep running even if I decide I do not want to use it and due to it's location there is no way you can avoid touching it. I am thinking of putting a thick sticker over the home button to make sure the finger ID will be blocked.
That will be the case with my 5S till some security companies investigate the 5S and tell us their final thoughts about how secure the Finger ID is.
I used it the first day and have since turned it off. It works without a hitch. My issue is that I have never used a passcode. So, for me, I like that if a message comes in I can just swipe it open and be in the message thread, or other things like that. This adds an extra step for me without adding any form of extra security (for those who passcode anyway) so I disabled. It does exactly as it claims though.
You do understand that it uses radio frequency to read the print. It's not reading the outer dead skin print, but the living tissue print. Will someone please put a piece of tape or something over theirs and verify if it still works or not ?
I am not worried about Obama tracking me with this, I know he already is.

Actually, it adds a layer of protection without adding any extra steps. If your phone is locked, pick it up, swipe the slide to unlock widget and then place your thumb over the home button. Seems like one of my thumbs lives on the home button, anyway, so it actually removes a step (for me).
