  • The fingerprint sensor lives in the rear case, somewhat controversially placed. Using the thing (with your right hand) requires blindly stretching and blotting out the camera...

  • The good news is that this sensor is modular and can be popped right off its adhesive for replacement. All it takes is a little heat and a good push.

  • No word (yet) whether software locks (à la iPhone 7) will prevent a replacement from functioning.
