Is the iPhone 5s fingerprint scanner really superior?

    When Apple introduced the iPhone 5s earlier this month, one of the features it touted was Touch ID, a fingerprint-scanner built into the home button at the bottom of the device. Users may simply touch the home button to unlock their phone and even authenticate iTunes purchases, instead of inputting a custom 4-digit passcode used by previous iPhones.

    But just how secure is Touch ID, really? Is it a nifty gimmick, or truly better security for user data?
