I asked Andy what do they get if they steal *my* phone.
 
It is not about you, it is about the majority of the people.

Hi Carlos,

That's a perfectly reasonable rebuttal which I appreciate that you made,
since it shows you are thinking logically and sensibly - which is good.

You are aware that I set up my computing devices from the very start to be
private which entails, oh, I don't know, scores of very specific actions.

For one, I don't have contacts in the default sqlite database, right.
And for another, there are no accounts on my phone for thieves to access.

There's no way to buy anything from my phone in fact, which, accidentally,
works in my favor as some apps are set to be free if you can't buy them.

While I take extensive photos, there's no EXIF GPS data in those photos.

And while I connect to a variety of access points, those I control do not
broadcast their SSID (for privacy, not for security) and my phone is set to
randomize the MAC upon contact (which, let's be very clear, is *different*
than the standard default of randomizing the MAC for each access point).

Of course my phone is set to NOT re-connect automatically to those hidden
access points so that it won't be asking to connect to them when I'm away.

These, and scores of other privacy-related things I do with my phones.

But your point is most people don't do that and, in fact, I'd wager the
Apple trolls here wouldn't even understand them in a million years.

However... my main point is that, even if you do NOT do those things,
biometrics are still a (clever marketing) gimmick - mostly from Apple.

A PIN would suffice for most people.

But... and this is key... it would be a PITA, right?

Which is why people use the marketing gimmick of the biometrics.
They use absurd biometric marketing gimmicks to make things easier, right?

Yet - what could be easier than not having any lock screen whatsoever?

For instance, without a mobile phone I can not access operations with my
computer on the bank and several other sites. That's normality.

The problem with that statement is mostly simply that it's not true.
But I understand why you said it - since most people don't know computers.

If you knew how to use a computer, (almost) everything is possible.
So, you could lock up the bank access only - and leave the rest unlocked.

For example, WhatsApp has a special lock mechanism. Just for WhatsApp.
The banking app can be made to do the same thing.

My main point was merely to explain to Andy that if a person is
intelligent, then they don't need to fear everyone around them.

Unless... they are like Apple owners... all of whom must live in the slums.
---
Note: The use of the slums is to make a point that is rather poignant.
The Apple owner is taught to fear everyone, including family & friends.
It's the Apple way of doing things. All decisions are based on fear alone.
