First it was the paw of a cat, then it was a man's toe. Now, the latest body part being used to unlock Apple's iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner is a nipple.
A number of videos have appeared online that appear to show male and female nipples being pressed onto the phone's TouchID sensor.
The capacitive sensor can be used with any skin part, as long as a heartbeat and body temperature can be detected, to unlock the device.
One owner of the new iPhone 5S said: 'I'm glad Apple's scanner recognises nipples - it just goes to show how ridiculous the premise is in the first place.
'Now if anyone tries to mug me, they'll have to cut one of my nipples off if they want to use my phone, and I'm not telling them which one.'
The latest Apple handset comes with technology which means they can be accessed by placing the owner's finger on the control button.
It lets owners register up to five different prints to unlock the phone and pay for apps.
