Ok, if my 5s is locked, I still need to press the power button but that's a quick press. When the phone opens then I need to touch the sensor to unlock my phone. Alternitivly I can use the on screen key pad to type in my 4 character pass word but why bother. Now if my finger is sticky or dirty, the finger print reader might not work in which case I then just manually type my 4 digit code in. Does that help any?
