Dont' Touch other peoples new Iphone 6

Okay, so you don't own an Iphone 6 because you are not going to give Apple your fingerprint. You may be wrong, no, you are wrong. Here is what happens. Scenario: You are out with a friend and he just got his new Iphone 6. You explain to him how you don't want one because it can read your fingerprints and store them on a data base. Your friend blows you off calling you paranoid. Later that night at the bar your friend get's a funny email and wants to show it to you and hands you his phone.

Here is where everything goes wrong. You take his phone and running in the back ground is software that reads the fingerprints that touch the screen sensor. The Iphone does not recognize the fingerprint for his Iphone you just took and it immediate records the unknown fingerprint and takes a picture of the user (that would be you) as you are reading the email.

Now without your knowledge the Iphone just recorded your fingerprint and photo to go with it and you are none the wiser. Don't touch other peoples new Iphones. You just became a victim of his folly.
