They may have thought of them, but they didn't solve them for the very simple reason that it's impossible to solve them.
A fingerprint is only secure for causal use (someone picking up your phone), but it's worthless for any more security than that. It's like the face recognition on an android phone - good for causal use, but easily defeated.
Not just probably, but definitely and easily.
