Also, I don't know why the repair shops chose to discard the original home button with the original touch ID on it. Sure it's a quicker fix not to do a full repair, but they could have at least try to repair it back to spec.
I do get Apples position on Security for stolen phones.
The number of customers affected are on the noise level for them, so they probably don't care much on loosing a couple of thousands on sales.
Then again, they could get a class action suit and see if that gets them somewhere.
