Only applies to the Touch ID sensor and for good reason. No point in making a secure system just to allow any theif on ebay to buy a £5 off the shelf sensor and bypass it.
I'm sorry, but this is a complete non issue.

Remember iSheep; If your beloved phone happens to break, don't get it repaired at an unofficial repairers!
Apple will find out and remotely brick your phone! :stuck_out_tongue:

All the pathetic apple bashing that goes on here is embarrassing. I can just imagine the 12 year old kids sitting behind their keyboards because mummy can't afford to buy them one.

I'd rather a few cheap skates get their phones bricked rather than exposing a security vulnerability with the TouchID sensor where someone can steal my data or fingerprints.

Isn't this the phone equivalent of two coke cans and a piece of string?

Considering that your comment is far from original, you've proven that you're also a sheep. Which is dumber: an iSheep or a sheep that doesn't know he is a sheep?

Except it is not this particular model - it is the 6 series. This one is fine.

Only applies to Iphone 6 and above. The secure Touch ID enclave works differently on the 5S. On the 5S it is married to the motherboard and cannot be replaced without disabling the Touch ID function. On the 6/6S they changed it up so only apple can pair the two together after a replacement and rightfully so.
They wouldn't go against governments and refuse to install backdoors with end user security in mind just for people to be able to replace the Touch ID and gain access anyway.

Got to be at least the 32gb for this price for me. Heat cause it's the cheapest around but 16gb is too hard to live with these days.

Actually it (16Gb) has got a LOT better for me since I went to mainly Cloud music and using Apple's Photo Library (also a cloud implementation)!! :sunglasses:

Hmmm.. I have this and still a great phone. But should really be 32gb at this price. My 16gb constantly nags me about space and is my only regret.

No doubt my fans will accuse me of "attention seeking" for agreeing with this - despite the fact they don't seem to be accusing anyone else who doesn't fall for crApple nonsense of this - but yeah, it's comforting having a decently priced, decently spec'd phone, and clocking Samsung, Apple, Apple, Apple, Samsung, Apple, Samsung. I bet most Iphone users don't even know WHY they even bought one - but more than likely some commission-hungry salesman fed them the usual crap "yeah it does cost a lot but they really are the best". Well.....that's technically nailed it then eh. As for the "investment" crap - you're buying a phone, not a Picasso. Thinking that you're at some 'advantage' just because someone will pay to 'offset' the cost of a new one, when buying a brand new Android phone will cost you even less than the price you'll pay AFTER off-setting it by selling your iphone.......well.....have fun with that knowledge...

Right.. Manchild turns a simple consumer inanimate object into a religious "versus" war like a 12 year old playing top trumps. Yet Apple are prats. Hmmmm

it's crazy they really do hold there value, I just sold a very battered two year old one for £150. once your in the apple eco system you can use the sale of your old phone to offset the cost of the newest model
