iPhone 5S may include fingerprint sensor and NFC

4.6

Its appears that Apple may be adding NFC and fingerprint technology into the iPhone 5S with a report suggesting that the company will use the fingerprint sensor to improve the security of NFC features such as payment handling.

China Times has reported that Chipbond,a chinese chipmaker , was selected by Apple to manufacture these components for use in the iPhone 5S.

Foxconn has also seemingly started production on the iPhone 5S and are preparing to really step up manufacturing, according to Macotakara, which has previously provided accurate details in that past. Macotakara also reports that leading Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo may finally begin selling the iPhone with the release of the 5S.

Mining I hate how they come out with a new phone like every year, it's costing a lot of money to constantly buy these phones (I'd know)


True, but they all have something new :D


The only reason they bring something out every year is because they have something better they know they can save for another year so they CAN make another phone, they could put all the good stuff into one phone but they just want more sales.

Yeah I understand that you want to make a lot of money but it would be nice if soon they would stick with 1 phone for like 2 years and update it a few times, you know what I mean?

That is what the title says...? The iPhone 5S will have fingerprint scanners, MAYBE.

Whirlpool This will be more secure for logging into your phone, but what if someone happens to have the exact same fingerprint?


Nobody in the world has the same fingerprint.....


Yeah your fingerprint is unique

Thats a good question.


There would be no way for anyone to get into your phone if it were protected by a fingerprint scanner: your fingerprint is like no other in the world.
