iPhone 5S To Incorporate Fingerprint Scanner In The Home Button

We have already seen the leaked images of iphone 5S before official launch. Now there comes a rumor that Apple will incorporate a fingerprint scanner into the iPhone 5S are once again surfacing. It is, after all, potentially the biggest story of 2013 as far as the new iPhone is concerned.

Those who are feared about getting their iphone in their parents hands may be distrarous, don't worry about it. With the involvement of this biometric technique no one will be able to use your iphone without you.

The new iPhone 5S

According to a research note from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 5S will indeed have a fingerprint scanner built in to the home button. The iPhone's home button has had a concave shape since its introduction in 2007, but Kuo believes that moving to a convex shape would give Apple more space in which to fit the fingerprint sensor expected to be a differentiating feature for the iPhone 5S. Additionally Kuo says that the home button will now feature a sapphire coating that will assist in keeping it from being scratched.

"Convex home button creates space for fingerprint sensor; yield to improve." 

We think that a fingerprint sensor will be placed under the home button of iPhone 5S. However, assembling it could be difficult as the space under home button is limited as it already has to accommodate the Lightning connector, speaker and microphone. Thus, we think the shape of the home button could be changed from concave to convex to create more space for a fingerprint sensor.

"Sapphire prevents home button from being scratched."

A convex home button could be more easily scratched, so a harder material is required. We believe Apple will switch from plastic to sapphire, whose hardness is second only to diamond. Sapphire would protect the home button from being scratched and the fingerprint sensor from being damaged.

The addition of a fingerprint sensor to this year’s iPhone has been one of the most popular rumors going for some time now. We first saw it reported back in March, but it really picked up steam in July when references to fingerprint scanning were found in iOS 7 beta software.

Apple will reportedly unveil the iPhone 5S at a media event on September 10. Based on previous iPhone introductions, the iPhone 5S may launch within just a few weeks after that announcement. Apple is also rumored to be working on a lower-cost iPhone  "iPhone 5C" with a plastic shell, with that device perhaps also making an appearance at the September 10 event. Just wait and watch which rumor is going to be true first.
