“Not quite. The point is that Apple created the illusion - like a scam artist - that their fingerprint system uses data from under the skin for biometric purposes.”
I see absolutely no evidence that Apple did any, such thing. The only possible claim they might have even implied is that the reader would be good & fast at recognizing fingerprints it had been trained on (as opposed to the Motorola Atrix, for example). And as far as I can tell, it is good & fast at that. (Mind you, whether fingerprint recognition is a good method of securing the phone is a whole, nuther issue. See lishevita’s excellent comment above for details)
Any, add’l promises of eternal life, sparkly unicorns, etc… are from the fevered imaginations of biased commenters
