As we edge closer to the highly anticipated Apple event taking place on September 10th 2013 more rumoured information is coming to light about how the new iPhone 5s or iPhone 6 as it might be named will look.

We have already reported rumours that Apple may be releasing a gold version of their new iPhone 5S smartphone and now details have come forward regards the integration of a fingerprint scanner within the iPhone 5S.

iPhone 5S

When other companies have added finger print scanners to laptops and the like its normally obvious were it is located and easily identifiable as a fingerprint scanner.

But as you would expect, its rumoured that Apple has taken a different approach and created an iPhone 5S finger print scanners that almost nearly looks the same as at the home button featured on the existing iPhone 5 says the source. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac explains a little more about the design details he received from his source.

“The new Home button’s design will not be noticeably convex. Perhaps the shape has changed slightly, but the tweaked button is nothing distinct enough for the iPhone 5S to be identified as anything but an iPhone 5 by the untrained eye. There’s the possibility, however, that the etching and border of the Home button could become more shiny and look slightly different. “

Its also rumoured that the new iPhone 5S Apple iOS 7 mobile operating system maybe the last operating system to support the ageing iPhone 4 range of smartphone devices. As more information is leaked, rumoured or officially announced we will keep you updated as always. Its also rumoured that the new Apple iPhone 5S smartphone will launch on September 20th 2013.
