I've been speaking to a few people and as of this blog, i know 2 people who's got the iPhone 5S, A Phone with a fingerprint scanner. This isn't the first attempt at a finger print scanner on a device, A motorola Atrix had the first Finger print scanner on an android device and most recently with all the buzz the iPhone 5S had, HTC joined the bandwagon as well by introducing a finger print scanner on their HTC One Maxx.
With all the android phones coming out today with NFC enabled. The purpose for NFC is for Smart banking and quick payments with services like google wallet and smart payments. The problem with this is that somebody could easily steal your phone and place your phone or contactless payment stations and spend your money without any Pin number or security issues.
Here's why i'm writing all of this, Apple could have introduced their own Card based service where you could place your phone down on a contactless payment station and at the same time hold down their finger against the fingerprint sensor to authorise.
i haven't had any hands on with Google wallet or services such as that but Apple have missed out on a perfect opprunity on intergrating this feature into iOS. Maybe they'll do it with the iPhone 6
