According to the rumors, the next Iphone may have a fingerprint scanner to access your iphone. No more passwords or line patterns, it could be your FINGERPRINT. If true the experts say that it will make the iphone more secure and even pave the way to being able to use your phone to pay at the cash register. Apple bought the technology last July for a whole lot of money, $350 million to be exact. It doesn't take much for me to get excited about something but I think that this is really awesome! if I didn't already have an Iphone it would make me want to get one, yep that's all it takes. For some reason it reminds me of the movie Spaceballs, they used this kind of technology to enter different rooms on Spaceball 1 (or megamaid). So far its just a rumor, but I'm sure we will know soon.

Mike there is a fake fingerprint scanner ap. That might make your dreams come true a little earlier. Check it out. Love the Spaceballs reference. May the Swartz be with you.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought they already had a fingerprint scanner, then I read the article and saw that it is something else that they're working on, maybe it was the app that Josh is talking about. Every time they find a new way for us to pay for something, I just worry about the security.
ReplyDeleteAt my old job we used fingerprints for FAA/TSA, but mine are unreadable, from too much wear and tear.
