Recently many technological advancements have occurred within the well known Apple industry. Apple has newly released an updated iOS7 software compatible with all apple products, along with the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Some of the software’s innovative features have caused an uproar in many individual’s minds, specifically Apple user Al Franken. Al Franken is a US Senator who worries of privacy laws regarding Apple and it’s new fingerprint recognition technology. iOS7 allows Apple users to sign into their locked iPhone by scanning their fingerprint, to rid pesky and bothersome people from getting into the personal information in their phone. Franken believes the contrary, he states that hackers are already looking for new ways to hack into Apple database and acquire all fingerprints. Franken asserts a warning message to all users: “After stealing someone's thumbprint, hackers could ‘impersonate you for the rest of your life,’ he wrote.”
