Notice Jolly Roger is the poster child for my point that ignorant low class
uneducated people fall, every time, for even obvious marketing gimmicks.

Jolly Roger is afraid of his wife.
He's afraid of his kids.
He's afraid of every one of his neighbors.
And Jolly Roger is afraid of his so-called friends.
And coworkers.
And he's afraid of _everyone_ around him.
*Because Jolly Roger lives in a slum.*

Otherwise, why does Jolly Roger _need_ to protect his phone from them?

You never go out anywhere in public, Arlen?

Never sit in a restaurant?

Never go to a mall?

Hehhehheh... that's actually a good one, nospam. Much appreciated.

However, my _adult_ point is that biometrics are transparent marketing
gimmicks to lead the sheep to be distracted when they're led to slaughter.

*My key point is that the _real_ threat is _not_ physical access.*

Having said that, I certainly agree with you that Apple leads the way when
it comes to marketing gimmicks - Android follows Apple's lead in gimmicks.

*Apple wants you to _feel_ safe... which is why Apple promotes gimmicks*

What Apple knows is that they have the least secure operating system in
terms of zero-day holes, but they don't want you to _think_ about that.

And your key point is wrong.

Sorry, but that is multiple assertions and no facts.
