> Fingerprint sensors don't work for almost anyone who does manual labour as a job.

Not to say that it doesn't happen, but most forms of manual labor don't wear down, scar, callous, or otherwise alter one's fingerprints enough to break it. In any case, this is why we all use backup fingers and toes.



I rock climb and on some days can't use touch-ID because of it. My manual labor colleagues have way more calloused hands than me.
