The Hollywood Gossip

iPhone 6 Fingerprint Technology: Coming in 2013?! Jan 22nd 2013, 14:20 Apple stock is currently in free fall (albeit from record-setting highs) amid speculation that the company is losing a little bit of its innovative edge.  An iPhone 6 with fingerprint technology could change that. According to AppleInsider, the rumored innovation for this year or early next could come in the form of a sensor beneath the iPhone's home button. The iPhone 6 fingerprint sensor would be "an intuitive design that could be difficult for competing Android and Windows Phone devices to copy." The (unconfirmed) fingerprint technology would come from one of Apple's recent acquisitions, AuthenTec. The report about the development continues: Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities says it would "allow iPhone users to replace usernames and passwords, allowing users to authenticate in a more efficient manner." The fingerprint scanner "could integrate with applications such as Passbook to enhance their functionality" as well, giving Apple another key edge. Kuo's track record has been pretty solid, as he predicted Apple's entire Fall product line last year, but for now this rumor is exactly that - a rumor. A pretty cool one, but just a rumor just the same.
