Having had the 5S for a few weeks now, all I can say is: why did no iPad get the TouchID treatment? I've been enjoying that feature immensely!

I wouldn't want to have to use my fingerprint every time I unlock an iPad.

Now brace yourself because this might blow your mind. How about switching it off.

My thinking is that people don't carry their iPads around every single day like their iPhones.

You're much more likely to lose, or have your iPhone stolen than your iPad.

Since it can't fit in your pocket I find the iPad is much easier to lose than any phone is.
