iPhone 5S’ Touch ID can also detect… nipples?!

Listen to article

Just moments after Apple lifted the wraps off their new flagship handset; we did a whole segment about its new feature called Touch ID which allows user to register their fingerprint and use that to unlock the phone. What we missed to point out, however, is that it can also scan other parts of the body including… nipples.

If you think that’s surprising (or amusing), wait till you here this. As it turns out, the structure of our nipples is as unique as our fingerprint. Therefore, if by any chance you registered your nipple using Touch ID and somebody tries to unlock your phone using theirs, then it’ll just be a futile attempt.

Don’t believe us? Well, here’s a short video courtesy of Rocket News:

In a separate video, one of the guys in the clip above also tried using his nose and toe on the scanner and it worked just as well. So if you’re planning to get the iPhone 5S and you think that your fingerprint isn’t secured enough, then we suggest trying to register different parts of your body to the Touch ID.

Let’s say that we can use our dick.
Just imagine yourself unlocking your iPhone in the mall using your dick.

Couldn’t they have asked a woman instead to demo this ‘newly discovered capability’ of the 5S?? Feels weird watching guys sticking their iPhones onto their manboobs.

Guess I’ll just have to be on the lookout for ‘adventurous’ ladies who own the iPhone 5S.

Meron din pinoy version ng sensor nian, dalawa lang initially programmed na madetek nia kasi un ang mga known may ari ng iphone sa pinas. Ito ay in conjunction sa siri. Ang message dalawa din lang pag scan ng mga daliri nila. Sabi ng siri.

I don’t think the iphone’s sensor is advanced enough to detect such a small thing like that..

i think iphone 5s’s fingerprint scanner can only detect objects as big as your finger. but not as small as your dik.
