You don’t revoke the finger, you revoke the machine that wasn’t able to detect the fake.


That's just it, you can get as many iphones as you want The threat actor will always be able to fool it once they have your biometric data. Even a human can't tell apart by using a photo if the 3d print is good enough. There will always be a way to mimick wetware.
