I am buying this because it can be used as wired when in need, especially while logging in and Bluetooth was turned off. I had to always find/borrow or call my friends for a keyboard every time I need to login into my mac system because there were instances where I turn off Bluetooth and shut my system.

If so, I presume that I’d buy the one with just the Lock key (does that work?) function in the top fight hand corner, as opposed the one with the Touch ID, as I understand this function does not work on the iPad’s, only on the iMac/MacBook’s, is that correct?

@@JerrySchulze I appreciate the reply :D. i don't buy it, especially if its from apple. i have a mac mini, and to power it on you have to press a power button that doesn't have touch id. The system is fully booted by the time the password prompt comes up. If the system by this time (the prompt) already knows what my password is (as part of the encryption), it should know my fingerprint. I can understand your point for laptops, but apple can simply require two presses of the power button to log in. one to power up, and the other for the touch id function. I think its a design oversight on apple's part to be honest. The only work around is to leave your mac on sleep mode.

@@EdU-od5ec Extremely late reply, but that's not how anything works. On boot up, the computer actually has no clue what your password is. It has to ask for it because without the password none of the data on the computer is accessible. When you type in your password, the computer attempts to use the password to decrypt your data. If it fails, wrong password. If it works, continue booting. Once this first boot unlock is done, consecutive unlocks can use your fingerprint to authenticate you because the computer already knows your decryption key (it remembers your password). When it asks you for your fingerprint, it doesn't actually use the fingerprint scan for anything. All it does is compare the fingerprint to existing registered fingerprints, and if there's a match, take you to the desktop. TL;DR The fingerprint isn't your decryption key, the computer doesn't know your password or decryption key on boot up, there's no way for Apple to add biometric to first boot up without compromising security.
