iPhone 5S leaves more fingerprint evidence

iPhone 5S leaves more fingerprint evidence

The differences are VAST, we swear! (credit: Nowhereelse)

It's been all about the budget iPhone 5C recently, but today we're back focusing to the iPhone 5S with a new part claiming to offer up more evidence that it could be offering up a fingerprint reader. You know, the one we keep hearing about.

A component leaked by Nowhereelse.fr shows some design changes to the home button area that could indicate that it's making space for a fingerprint scanner to replace the home button we're all so used to.

The supportive metal spacer cushion, as thrilling as it sounds, has also had a tweak that makes it look like it's making space for something new.

Dusting for evidence

There are also some changes in the camera area, including the all-exciting screw placements, which could have something to do with that dual flash we've also been hearing about.

Some particularly compelling evidence for a fingerprint reader was found in the pre-release beta of iOS 7 where a "Biometric Kit" folder was discovered.

We've no way of telling whether these pictures are real, but if all these recent 5S and 5C appearances have any truth behind them, Apple really needs to plug some leaky holes.

After all, that rumoured September 10 launch is less than a month away - will there be any surprises left in store?
