People keep saying fingerprints are all over the internet but I have seen no actual proof (1) how you can steal an iPhone fingerprint record (2) how you can use this data to generate a fake fingerprint sufficient to open the iPhone or even (3) copy a fingerprint off of the outside of the phone and open the iPhone.

1) you don't, but the iphone secure enclave is not what he's talking about. He means fingerprints on the glass.

2) google "touchid hack" there's videos on YouTube.

3) not super likely as usually you'll only find rough partials, but as previous poster mentioned, there has been government hacks that have leaked biometric data.
