Ming-Chi Kuo believes a fingerprint sensor will be the next big update for the iPhone 5s, "improving security and usability". The chip would be underneath the home button and could work as a security improvement in place of pass-codes. In April, a supply chain source in Taiwan said the fingerprint sensor was causing delays with the iPhone 5s release but the James Bond technology is exepcted to be a definite feature when the phone is launched.
Rumour Four: Better camera
Mr Kuo has also tipped camera hardware developments in the iPhone 5s such as a 8MP rear-shooting camera, a 1.2MP front camera and smart flash, which will allow the camera to automatically choose between a white or yellow flash.
Rumour Five: Image recognition
Apple's application for a patent on image recognition was published in February, suggesting that iPhones and iPads could do away with pass-codes. The system would work by showing a random picture of one of the owner's contacts and asking for their name either from voice recognition or a touchscreen list.
