Hmmmmm. I tried the touch id, but, like some others, it seems to have only worked for a few days.
There was a story not long ago about finger prints wearing down. I read Braille, a lot, and next time I try the touch id, I think I will try a thumb, and see if that makes any difference.

I don't think that could change the surface of the skin but you never know. Another thing could be a person with very oily skin or a nervous person who often have damp fingers or something of that nature. Could it be that some blind people like myself use their finger as a liquid level indicator. I'm not talking about touching the phone with a wet finger but sometimes that liquid is very hot. I read a report that said that even a cut on the finger could alter the image enough so that this finger can't be used unless you reset it. I don't think we'll figure that one out unless we can make some kind of relation between people for whom it doesn't work.

That's all a matter of preference. When I set it up originally I used my thumb about 3/4 of an inch below the tip. I've never had a problem and have been using this since the phone was released. The problem is perplexing however. It makes no sense that it would work for a day and stop.
