Many blog posts that talks about Apple rumors have posted on their blogs, reporting that, the next iPhone which will be carrying the next generation Apple mobile operating system will have biometric scanners that can read fingerprints. You will be able to register a thumb print on the device, and whenever you want to access your smartphone, you print will be the unlocking code.
For example, this next iPhone offering will be useful as good security measures for mobile payment.
The next iPhone biometric scanner rumor is been out for some months now, but the scream got boosted when one of the iOS 7 beta version got release recently on Monday night. An Apple developer discovered a file that reads “BiometricKitUI” containing a number of values pointing to “fingerprinting.” 9to5Mac has the report on one of its blog post.

You know, it’s always a noise every time Apple is about releasing its next iPhone product, most of the rumors don’t always fall true, but a number of them really turn out accurate. There is no assurance yet that the next iPhone will carry the print scanner, but it will be great if it does.
A Taiwanese media blog that expresses itself in animations also made a cartoon of the fingerprint scanner on a future generation iPhone, but speculated that the technology won’t release until 2014, unlike for other blogs talking about the 2013 fall.
Although, observers are yet to know the name of the particular iPhone that will carry a better blazing processor, long lasting battery, pure view camera and a slow motion video features, but some thought it will be called iPhone 5S.

Hi Olukunle! This is legit stuff over here. It is true. The finger print scanner is, yep, an additional security measure on the new iDevice iPhone 5s. It is concealed in the rim of the home button. Scans layers of the skin. It can store up to 5 finger prints!
