    I’ve read all this before. If you believe the people who designed and implemented the device and its myriad layers of firmware and software were 1. All acting in good faith and 2. Knew WTF they were doing… then: yes, sure.

    Unfortunately that’s way too many strangers for me. Hundreds of people design and code these things. Meanwhile, every week there’s a clever new breach somewhere.

      If you’re that afraid if the people who build phones, why are you ok with using any device that can access the internet?

        I like how being cautious with my biometric data is beung framed as irrational fear and paranoia. As if ID theft never happens.

          Using biometric data to unlock your phone does not make you more vulnerable to petty criminals.
