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.

I have my MacBook Pro, iPad 4, and an iPhone 5. I have a fast jailbreak and am set until the iPhone 7 or 8. I feel that if Apple releases an iPhone 5S, it's not a necessary upgrade. In my opinion, Apple is becoming out of touch and arrogant. If Steve Jobs were still around, he would likely be challenging the current leadership to be more innovative. Mark

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

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