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.

I think this is both a good and bad idea. I like the idea of when say on ebay your trying to purchase something and to verify you need to use your fingerprin. But I think it might also confuse the touchscreen when using it for day to day use.

don't just hop on the bandwagon. The iPhone and galaxy are the top two phones on the market. I don't know how you think they are slow.


he probably jailbreak his phone /:
i don't know why you think this phone is slow they are pretty fast unless you jailbreak it and it will become slow.


even if you jailbreak it does not slow down man.

It slows when its on low battery and when you have lots of crap installed on it :L
