iPhone 5S – A Fingerprint Reader Could Be Directly Implemented In Its Screen

iPhone 5s would incorporate a fingerprint reader, at least this gives us to understand the latest rumors about future Apple device. If until now it was rumored that the terminal would have the sensor included in the Home button, the components appeared on the internet have disproved this theory.

In the absence of an explanation, a new theory gives us to understand that Apple could implement a fingerprint reader directly into the terminal screen, allowing you to get scanned by simply placing your finger across the screen.

The theory is based on a new Apple patent recorded today in describing how the company could work with a device with an integrated fingerprint reader on its screen. Basically the software available in iOS would scan our touches and figure out if the user who is using the terminal is its owner, in this case giving access to any and allowing them to make payments or to access encrypted documents, for example. If iOS detects an attempt to access files by an unauthorized person, it would automatically block access to user authentication.

If you look at the video above, you will see how such a system can run on smartphones, the Validity company is already implementing something like this in a mobile terminal. Since there are so many rumors about the implementation of a fingerprint reader in iPhone 5S, chances are that Apple follows the exact same path.
