  I told you for so many months that iPhone 5S it will have a fingerprint reader, well it was officially presented today and it is called touch ID. The fingerprint reader is implemented directly in the Home button of the terminal, it being capacitive, capable of recording fingerprints at an angle of 360 degrees. Our fingerprints will be used to unlock the terminals and to allow the purchase/download of applications or other content available in the App Store or iTunes Store, so you can forget about passwords for a while.

You check your iPhone dozens and dozens of times a day, probably more. Entering a passcode each time just slows you down. But you do it because making sure no one else has access to your iPhone is important. With iPhone 5s, getting into your phone is faster, easier, and even a little futuristic. Introducing Touch ID — a new fingerprint identity sensor.

  Touch ID can be used in any orientation by users, reading the fingerprints immediately and storing them only in the terminal, without synchronizing them with iCloud or another cloud system. The ring that now surrounds the Touch ID is made of stainless steel and has the role of activating the fingerprint reader by touching it, so without touching it you will not be able to use the fingerprint reader. Practically, this component of the iPhone 5S has the role of simplifying the interaction with the terminal and is probably a test made for a future implementation of mobile payments.
