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.

I think that the fingerprint technology will be a really cool addition, although kind of unnecessary. Because of this I would have to assume that the price will be more than the iPhone 5's launch price.

It would be overpriced even if it didn't have NFC or a fingerprint scanner. The main thing you pay for is the little apple on the back of the phone.

Fingerprint technology is so pointless. Like really we don't need that.. it'll just make it cost a rediculous amount.
