iPhone 5S fingerprint sensors leak
It may be that users only need to press the home button to wake up the device, as they usually do, and have it automatically unlock for them, removing the need for a passcode. Blogger Sonny Dickson posted these images, which shows the tiny sensor attached to a ribbon cable.
You may like to judge for yourselves on whether you think these are legitimate parts, as they are drastically different to previous home button connectors, found in the iPhone 5. However this isn't the only leak of this sort, as French site NWE posted similar pictures earlier this week, which are almost identical to the new leaks.
Last year, Apple acquired AuthenTec, a company that specialises in biometrics, so since then we have expected to see Apple utilise their new expertise.

Awful_Past_RSM249Destroyed I think it's a great idea! No more stealing phones unless you can bypass by restoring
Yeah if they can restore it easily the finger sensor thing is kind of a waste of time.
You won't be able to restore a device on an unauthorized computer unless you have the iTunes account info connected to the phone.
There are ways 2020202020
