Biometrics Stocks Take Center Stage As Apple (AAPL) iPhone Sales Soar

New York, NY - September 23, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor portal specializing in sector research including biometrics and mobile security stocks, issues an updated directory for biometrics stocks following Apple’s report of selling over 9 Million iPhones over the weekend that incorporate biometric technology.

The new biometric Touch ID fingerprint technology has resulted in a new wave of interest in biometric technology and related stocks within the sector. Shares of Precise Biometrics, Fingerprint Cards, ImageWare Systems and NXT-ID, Inc have all benefited from the new buzz created by Apple’s implementation.
Additionally the biometric sector has made headlines as the Department of Homeland Security tests facial recognition technology and leading companies including Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) add facial recognition to their platforms .
Apple Reviews
Walter S. Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal recommends iPhone 5s "for anyone looking for a premium, advanced smartphone." He calls the phone’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor "a potentially game-changing hardware feature" and iOS 7 "a radically new operating system."
Ed Baig of USA Today looks at both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. On the iPhone 5s, he writes, "Taken in totality, the features new to the iPhone 5s make what I consider to be the best smartphone on the market even better." He concludes, "I can strongly recommend either new iPhone but especially the 5s."
David Pogue of The New York Times posts two stories. In his iOS review he writes, "The structure, layout and features represent some of Apple’s best work." In his iPhone review, he calls iPhone 5c "a terrific phone," noting, "The price is right. It will sell like hot cakes." On iPhone 5s, he’s impressed with the improved camera and says the best part of Touch ID is "it actually works — every single time, in my tests. It’s nothing like the balky, infuriating fingerprint-reader efforts of earlier cellphones."
