A little off-topic, but can someone tell me why fingerprint-access is even a needed feature? With PIN access, you get good enough security when you also enable the lock-after-10-mistypes. And 4-digits is only about a few seconds slower than fingerprint access...and since you already have instant access to incoming calls and to the camera, in what situations do we need insta-touch access to our phones?

Phones are getting stolen and compromised because people are too lazy to do the PIN thing, I suppose...but it never seemed like it was in Apple's best interest to make phones brickable.
