Touch ID on iPhone 5s can be used with more than just your fingers…

While Touch ID is designed to scan the fingerprints of your fingers (and thumbprints of your thumbs), some users of the iPhone 5s have discovered some other body parts that are supported by Touch ID. For instance, the video above shows a user registering their nipple for Touch ID. More videos and body parts below:

    good lawd…as if I wasn’t phobic enough about touching people’s germy phones. now when I handle someone’s phone, I have to be worried about what part of their body they used for their touch ID.

    I would like to see all the girls do that when they were going to lock up their phones :-)
