Could be real, but this could just as easily be fake. He could have programmed that finger with that implant ahead of time. We see him program a different finger and have no proof or evidence that this was the only finger saved. It could be reading the finger behind the implant which was already set up to unlock the phone. Need lots more evidence before I could believe such a simple hack would work.

Interesting point. Unfortunately you framed it in a bigoted rant and will subsequently be ignored.

The problem with this argument is the climategate emails themselves were said that they were not allowing anti-global warming papers to be in peer reviewed journals ("will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"), so saying they the no man made global warming argument is invalid because because it isn't in peer reviewed journals isn't really a fair argument.
