Are there any others out there who are having problems with their Touch ID being very temperamental and not working every time or at all? I'm unsure whether it's just a defected device but Apple have ordered me a new device to be delivered in a week for free. Do I take the new phone or try to get this one fixed again? It's been through a settings reset and a full system reset by the Genius Bar.

TIA

Have you tried adding the same fingerprint more than once, done this on my 6s plus and it's always lightning quick
 
UPDATE: Got a new ip7 and the Touch ID works perfectly every time with just one scanned for my two thumbs. Seems as though my device was defective
