Biometric sensing is nothing more or less than a MARKETING gimmick.

These iKooks fall for every MARKETING gimmick in the book.
Why?
a. They have no education in marketing
b. They have a rather low IQ so they fall for gimmicks
c. And they're _desperate_ to believe everything Apple feeds them

Does Lewis live in the slums of New York?
Why does he feel the need for even locking his phone?

Where does he live that he's so worried someone will steal it from him?

I don't have ANY screenlock set up even as my free Android does them all.
That's because I don't live in the slums where Lewis apparently lives.

I don't even lock my car outside or my outside doors.
Lewis, on the other hand, lives inside a barricaded cage with iron bars.

Otherwise, what is Lewis so afraid of?
