iPhone 5S To Ring In The New With Expected Fingerprint Sensing Home Button

Tuesday will tell, but multiple rumors are pointing to a subtle detail for the forthcoming iPhone 5S. Along with the new "Champagne" and "Graphite" colors, the home button is expected to have a new look, signifying the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner within.

FOX News anchor (and now app developer) Clayton Morris first claimed, that "sources" told him that the home button will "have a silver ring around it." Speculation was raised by the inclusion in the invitation for Tuesday's announcement of three silver-bordered rings along with the brightly-colored circles reminiscent of the iOS 7's new color palette. The feature is also shown on questionable "leaked" photos of 5S packaging, but these could have been generated in response to Clayton as opposed to anything Apple is actually doing.

Additionally, Sonny Dickinson released high-resolution photos on Friday of a sensor purported to be attached to the new home button, but there has need no independent corroboration of the actual functionality of the leaked part.
