Watch A Cat Unlock The iPhone 5s Using Touch ID And The Fingerprint Sensor.
Apple’s new fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 5s isn’t restricted to human users. A cat’s paw works, and while it encountered more frequent failures than did a fingerprint, it was able to unlock the phone again repeatedly when positioned correctly on the sensor. Note that no other paw pads would unlock the device, and that cats essentially have unique “fingerprints” just like people, so this doesn’t make the Touch ID sensor any less secure.
