Apple's iPhone 5S boasts a Touch ID fingerprint scanner that uses the ridges and pores of a finger (or other body parts, including nipples and lips) to identify a phone's user and unlock the home screen.

In this Sunday comic, Nitrozac and Snaggy of The Joy of Tech defend the iPhone's fingerprint-scanner technology against skeptics and critics.
