I'm only 40 but have had this issue for years -- especially with Apple products -- and I think it's compounded by my fingers being pretty callused. Regardless, I'm just unable to reliably use my family's iPad, sign my kids out of daycare, etc.

This is yet another example of accessibility being in everyone's interest.

If your iPad is plugged in, it’s extremely finicky with regard to the type of both the charger and the cable. Touch ID is extremely sensitive to electrical currents near it, it seems, and on home button/Touch ID it’s right near the charging socket. Oops. Unplug it, Touch ID works.
