Apple Inc are rumoured to be inching closer to the launch date of the iPhone 5S; meanwhile, a French blog has leaked images of what appears to be the components for a fingerprint scanner.
After several rumours have been filling the internet, all pertaining to bio-metric technology, French tech blog Nowhereelse.fr (known for being a reliable source of leaked apple information) claim to be bringing these whispers to life by leaking pictures of the handset's internal components in x-ray format. It shows that a fingerprint scanner could be placed just by the home button of the phone. The photo set compares Apple's next iPhone alongside the current generation iPhone, demonstrating the differences in design, functionality and the technological components hidden underneath its external shell.
A pair of images also show a re-designed metal spacer cushion near the home button, sporting a new cut-out section for additional components. Other rumours have included the use of a brand new chip, the A7, and also the introduction of a 'champagne gold colour' handset to join their white and black models.
Do you think these images show the iPhone of the future, or is it merely speculation touted by the net's geek fraternity? Either way, we'll have to wait for the official launch of the new product, which has also been rumoured to be launching on September 10th. Stay tuned for more information.
