Well I know what I'm going to do with my wallet. That's going to be not voting for apple LMAO. (This is lame especially coming from a multi billionaire like apple themselves.)

If you can build it, you can break it. Some are easier to break than others.

So they used the same fingerprint that was normally used by this iPhone to unlock it?

No surprise that would work there, everybody can do that. That's not really hacking and cracking, it's just an overly complicated way to boot up your phone. The trick is to unlock if you don't have that fingerprint. Then you will have 'broken' the 5S's security. Now try that before trying to get some attention.

How would you get a high-resolution picture of someone's fingerprint?

The nice thing of smartphones is that your "password" is already on the phone, unless you use sausages to operate your iphone.

Maybe you've seen iPhones with perfect fingerprints embedded on the glossy surfaces, but all I've seen are a bunch of really awful smudges.

Misread the OP, anyway. I thought it was saying to take a high-res picture of the owner's actual finger. Thought that was a funny idea.

Well you could always use your cat..

You've been stalking me.

I demand a video.. I mean even the nipple lock had a video...

Thief steals your phone, needs your fingerprint to access, finds your fingerprints on your phone
