I'm not a fan of Apple but I have to admit Apple still sets trends. Notice anything new in smartphones always starts with apple. All other makers simply play catch up. My question is why wasn't any of the other phone makers brave enough to include a biometric scanner? Its not that its new tech. Now that Apple has done it you will see all others scramble to catch up and hope to release a better scanner. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Bwana Lawi" <mail2lawi@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Miércoles, 11 de Septiembre 2013 7:49:30 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] iPhone 5S & iPhone 5c | Originally, yes, it was that way.
