iPhone 5S may include fingerprint sensor and NFC
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.

Zeta Wonder how much the phone would cost just because of a fingerprint sensor.
I think it will be a lot more, and the phones are expensive enough at the moment.

Hopefully it does have NFC. It would make small payments so much easier, the fingerprint scanner seems a bit pointless but I suppose it's only for security reasons.

This is great, but it's sad that we need fingerprint scanners to keep our phones safe.

i think they should take time with their products and stop releasing new ones every few months, that way you could get a much better product, much like how cod sucks and the new gta is gonna be sexy :)
