New evidence has emerged suggesting that Apple’s forthcoming iPhone update will include a biometric fingerprint sensor.
The information has come via a London programmer named as Hamza Sood, who has found some relevant support folders and documentation whilst investigating the beta release of iOS 7. As you no doubt know, developers are given early access to unreleased operating systems in order to assess it and adapt their software to new features and rules. Sood found a folder named ‘BiometricKitUI’ which was an embedded line of text in code that referenced “Photo of a person holding an iPhone in their right hand while touching the Home Button” and then “A fingerprint that changes colour during the setup process.” These snippets are most likely captions accompanying illustrations to help users to setup their new iPhone device.
The new model iPhone is expected to be released around this coming september and will be followed by a cheaper, plastic iPhone, possibly called the iPhone 5C. This model is also expected to come in a range of colours and could, we think, retail for as little as $99.
