iPhone 5S may include fingerprint sensor and NFC

4.6

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.

Locked not Licked... Sorry

It would suck if you did get locked out, I would smash it into 249 pieces and then sell it for $395.41.

Favism this could be really cool. hopefully it doesn't fail and then lock you out of your device


That would suck soooo bad! What if you cut your finger and part of your fingerprints were removed and you couldn't get in?

It sounds a lot more secure than a password for payment handling...

Soulful The passcode should be enough, but this will be a very cool feature either way.


Agreed u can't wait to see it though

Compliance This seems cool, but the price will be high.


Not really, I'm pretty sure there are other phones out there with this. Or at least I've heard of technology with finger scanning that wasn't that expensive. It will probably be just as expensive as any new iPhone.
