Knock is a new app that lets you unlock your Mac by knocking on your iPhone.

You keep your iPhone with you all the time. Now you can use it as a password. You never have to open the app— just knock on your phone twice, even when it’s in your pocket, and you're in.

Knock securely communicates with your Mac using Bluetooth Low Energy, a new technology that draws very little power. Knock works with any Mac that supports Bluetooth 4.0 after installing a companion application.

Please remember that while this app can be entertaining, anyone in possession of your iPhone could unlock your Mac.

You can purchase Knock from the App Store for $3.99.

Or I can integrate the fingerprint sensor onto a mac so I can use iPhone to unlock mac that way, because knock like the user below said, don't buy it, and for my reason is it's not secure easily and people can use it to change things and may break the screen! Replace this idea with the knock app and that's worth getting!

Stop comparing, people have each and every own taste, s4/i5s might be suitable for you but to other it is just normal phone and vice versa...Each company have their own game, if they are failed to impress their audience that the device they make is the best then either they start new idea, engineering, or something else to improve the quality of the device.
