Topeka Capital analyst Brian White is latest to predict that Apple will feature Fingerprint Scanning Technology in the next generation iPhone.

White says, "we believe fingerprint identification technology will be part of the iPhone 5S and this is likely to be the major new feature used to market the iPhone 5S, similar to what Siri was to the iPhone 4S."

White also recently predicted that Apple will release the iPhone 5S in 'at least' two screen sizes. He was also the analyst who predicted the iRing controller alongside a full blown Apple 'iTV'.

Apple is said to be basing its fingerprint scanner off its acquisition of AuthenTec.

Hi I stopped getting boned by the Apple Core. I have my MacBook Pro with SSD 17in. Now intel has a 2x faster thunderbolt comming. I have a iPad 4 done. Bought a HD Fire with Dolby. Vids and Sounds great with JayBird Wireless headset. I have the iPhone 5 had every other one. Fast JB and 4-5 bars done till iPhone 7 or 8. When apple comes out with a 5s = 5$ = 5sucker. IMO reformed deprogramed ifanboy If Steve was alive he would of taken out most of the top brass with can of whipass. Because apple is so out of touch and arrogant the core:) Mark

What difference will it make when, as with the passcode lock, someone can just go restore it in iTunes??!

I was born in a big farm. My father sent me to an expensive college to study the low, but I was so much idiot, that I could never finish and became journalist in low level house appliances magazine, for two years, after I acquired at last an iPhone 5, suddenly I became Apple analyst.

Bold predictions by this analyst, he also predicted the IRing and ITV. Well, I'n not gonna say YES or NO. I'm just gonna wait and follow the saying "By the mouth dies the fish"

Fingerprint tech will only be used on larger products like MacBook Pros. Never on iPhones and iPads.

Yeah Finger print like Siri in zero year... Works sometimes... Works only as sales argument ,,
