Should Apple brick your phone if the Touch ID sensor is “unpaired”? Maybe! Probably! But it should be disclosed *before* purchase.

@GlennF I don’t think it should be disclosed to users during purchase, but I do think it should have been much more public

@rmogull permanently brick a phone. I get the security side, but it’s extreme.
Rich Mogull ‏@rmogull Feb 5

@GlennF I don’t think they anticipated it would become such an issue. I bet even many at Apple didn’t know it did that
Glenn Fleishman ‏@GlennF Feb 5

@rmogull I’m sure. This is probably a decision on the security side. But it’s likely an FTC foul.

@GlennF I support disabling devices (or at least TouchID) when that happens. As to the FTC… I expect Apple will act first
