iOS 7 Beta 4 Confirms New iPhone With Biometric Home Button And FingerPrint Sensor - iPhone 5S and the rumored low-cost iPhone have been all we have been hearing about for these last few days. Finally though, we might have a good lead on something that we have been hearing rumors about for a long long time! The Home Button is perhaps the most vulnerable part of the iPhone, and it was hoped that it would be replaced with a capacitive fingerprint scanning button, and a new hint in iOS 7 Beta 4 may have confirmed that!

Apple’s last year acquisition of AuthenTec for $365 Million had us raising eyebrows as there should be something for which Apple will make use of it! For those who are unaware, AuthenTec is a company that specializes in making fingerprint sensors and after this code got picked up by Hamza Sood, we are pretty sure that the iPhone 5S(or whatever Apple might call it’s next-gen smartphone) will use a biometric sensor.
