The new Touch ID fingerprint sensor mightn't have reached the new iPad Air and Retina iPad mini as some had predicted and hoped, but iPhone 5s users are still getting to grips with what is an exciting implementation.

Details, as ever, can be found after the fold.

For most of us that means putting it into a case that at least claims to offer some sort of protection against bumps and scrapes, as well as possibly the odd fall here and there. But that's about it.
Black Friday isn't just a day for getting in line outside your nearest big box retailer in the hope that you'll be able to snag that big screen TV or the last remaining Furby. These days the fun happens just as much online as it does on the high street, and that goes for digital stores as well. Sales are currently kicking off all over the internet, and Apple's iOS App Store is no different.
