Would love to hear thoughts on the iPhone 5S that apple recently released. At iMedicalApps, we point out two key features that could be enticing to med students and residents:
1) Touch ID
2) M7 Activity Sensor
When I was reviewing the article we wrote on the iPhone 5S, one of the biggest things I was trying to figure out is if the Touch ID sensor would save me time.
As most of us know, we're required to put a passcode on our phone if we use our Hospital's Wi-Fi. So we find ourselves putting in a passcode several times a day -- some have said more than a 100 times. The question is....will the Touch ID sensor save any of this time? And is it really just a marginal amount at the end of the day?
My suggestion to the med students and residents out there:
1) If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s -- The 5S is definitely worth the upgrade.
2) If you have the iPhone 5 -- only get the upgrade if you are frustrated by having to put your passcode in every time you use the phone. A key thing to note as well -- Hospitals will have to determine if they feel the Touch ID is an adequate substitute to the passcode -- so you're still not in the clear if you get the 5S.
