Mary, there is no need to get defensive. I didn't say that they wouldn't work. I just said there is no reason to buy them if you already have other resources. I wasn't dismissing your suggestion, and if you took it that way, then you definitely read between the lines. That was so! not what I was trying to say. I'm sorry that you took it that way.

Chris.

Well, I personally recommend the wipes because after I use them on the iPhone, they make my iPhone feel like it just came out of the Apple packaging. Believe me, Christopher, I do have my reasons for recommending it. It sucks to read messages like how it's weird we are having problems with our iPhones when you don’t have any. And hey, don't waste your time on those wipes, either.

Mary

Heck, if you have young kids who'd need it, don't even waist your time buying the electronic wipes... even just a standard baby wipe will do the trick. Just, if you use one, make sure you only do it on your finger. Don't do it on the home button itself. Especially not if the type you're using has lotion or aloe etc. in it, as that most likely will make it worse.

Hello,

My touch ID is kind of finicky, and I have a 5S running on iOS 8.3 as
well. However, it was finicky before I upgraded. Sometimes I have to try
three or four times before it registers. I have these electronic wipes,
though. The packets come with one wet cloth and one dry cloth. And ever
since I got those, I don't have as much trouble unless my fingers are cold
or I've only recently washed and dried them. You can see an example of
these cloths are

Subject: [Mac-access]: Problems with touchID on iPhone 5S

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5S which is about 6 months old and which is currently
running IOS 8.3.

TouchID worked well for the first 4 months or so, but alas is now
unreliable. If I register a new fingerprint it works fine for about 2 days
and then the finger print is no longer recognised.

Do any listers have tips on the best way to position fingers or thumbs
during the initial fingerprint registration or any other tips on how to
make touchID reliable. I have tried cleaning the home button with a dry
cloth and also tried registering the same finger several times as if they
were all different fingers. Would it help to clean the home button in some
other way?

Many thanks for any tips. TouchID is great while it works!

Do any other listers have problems with TouchID on iPhone 5S? Is TouchID
on iPhone 6 reliable?

Best regards….

Paul Hopewell
