Not all of them; in fact I think Android has taken the lead over iOS in
mobile phones, though I understand if one balks at trusting Google.
There is also Windows Phone, though I'm personally not too keen on
trusting Microsoft.

Anyway, getting back to the topic of the original message: I don't use
the fingerprint unlock functionality on my devices for exactly this
reason. Fingerprints can't be changed when compromised; passwords can.
