iPhone 5S Rumors: Leaked Apple ‘Home Button’ Components Dismiss the Fingerprint Scanner Feature? [PHOTOS]
Images of the Apple iPhone 5S signature home button were leaked on the internet that shows the smart phone's components, flex cable and internal vibrator. Recent reports are now claiming that the upcoming iPhone 5S will no longer feature the "Fingerprint Scanner."
The technology giant was initially rumored to incorporate a fingerprint scanning feature on the home button. However, the inclusion of the feature appears vague because the leaked iPhone 5S home button looks similar to the iPhone 5.
Moumantai, a Japanese vendor, published the home button images on Friday. According to MacRumors report, the similarity on the home button suggest that the upcoming iPhone 5S will not have any major design alterations.
The leaked images show the detached Apple iPhone components where the flex cable used to connect to the main logic board on the iPhone 5S is longer compared to the iPhone 5 and the connectors and circuitry is routed differently through the smart phone's body.
Fewer details were given for the internal vibrator component of the iPhone 5S. However, the leaked image shows that the vibrator is connected to the flex cable that supports the volume buttons and mute switch at the side.
Rumors on the upcoming Apple iPhone 5s has been increasing over the past couple of months. Some experts are predicting that Apple will release one or more fresh iPhone models in the months to come.
Other reports claim that Apple will release this summer a lower-priced, plastic-made iPhone with the non-Retina screen display. For the iPhone 5S release date, the latest reports claim the smart phone will arrive in the later part of summer. However, Apple still remains tight-lipped on the numerous rumors emerging as well as the leaked images on the iPhone 5S home button.
