You are incorrect. Second sentence of the article: "A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID."
If the print was copied directly from one of the phone surfaces, you'd think that the CCC would want to include that little tidbit.
That brings up another interesting point -- I wonder how many people are going to put screen protectors on their 5S's that are not oleophobic.
