New iPhone: leaked pictures reinforce rumours of fingerprint sensor.


The latest leaked images of the hotly anticipated iPhone 5S depict a silver "ring" around the iPhone's black home button, adding fuel to rumours that the device will include a fingerprint Apple is widely expected to launch a new iPhone during an event at its Cupertino, California headquarters tomorrow. One of the more controvertial features expected in the iPhone 5S is a fingerprint sensor, which could be used for unlocking the homescreen or confirming identity for payment from the App Store or other outlets.

Images of the new iPhone's packaging, leaked by Chinese website C Technology, appear to show a silver ring encircling the home button, which is thought to be part of the fingerprint sensor. The images also appear to confirm rumours that the new model will be called the iPhone 5S.

Separate high-resolution images published last week by Australian teenager Sonny Dickson, (who has been behind a number of high-profile Apple leaks), show a circular component that is presumed to fit underneath the iPhone home button, with a fingerprint scanning mechanism at its centre.sensor.Apple purchased mobile and network security company AuthenTec, which produces hardware including fingerprint sensors, last year for $356m, fuelling further speculation about the sensor's introduction into future Apple products.

Fingerprint sensors have not been widely used across smartphones in the past. Motorola released the Atrix 4G in 2011 which featured a biometric fingerprint sensor it claimed offered a level of security surpassing password or PIN locks. However, customers reported mixed levels of success with the scanner, with many saying the sensor failed to recognise their fingerprint.
Other digital security systems include the Samsung Galaxy S3's Face Unlock feature, also available on Google's Nexus 4, and in the future it is likely that phones will unlock upon recognition of their owner's voice.
