sep_2013_event_invite.jpg

I took a second look at Apple's event invitations, yea everyone knows the colors represent the UI overhaul with iOS7 and the huge leaks showing the iPhone 5C back housing, but the dots could actually be considered as a hint that there's an updated home button, Yea I know fingerprint scanner but what about LED notification's me being an Apple Fan Boy, there's more to Apple just adding a finger print scanner.

OP is on to something here. The dots definitely don't all represent the new colors for the 5C because there are 10 (I think?) different colors or shades on the invite. There's no way there are 10 new colors. The leaked flex cables for the home button could be an indication of this or the fingerprint sensor. maybe both.

And how would the colored dots and the tagline have anything to do with a fingerprint sensor? :confused:

Ignore me. Understand now :D

My thoughts:

1. I agree, it could be a hint for a notification led.

2. You need to learn punctuation mark usage. :)

My thoughts? People still analyze these things. Also use punctuation, it matters.

Lol.....still don't understand this line of thought:

Someone: "A stupid fingerprint sensor wouldn't make me switch back" (despite the fact there could be countless uses for such a feature).

Me: "Well, there could possibly also be an LED notification light in the home button."

Someone: "OMG APPLE TAKE MY MONEY!"

After owning numerous phones with the LED, I still don't understand the draw and how such a seemingly small feature could be such a game changer.

there is another thread that supposedly shows the box of the 5s. The picture of the home button is updated with a light grey ring around the home button that looks like an LED. That could be what the grey rings are on the invite. A long shot....

LED home button= something I have been waiting for since the iPhone 3g. Really just an LED notification in general. When and if they have one I am sure Apple will advertise it as a revolutionary feature. If consumers look at 10 year old blackberries they had a great LED on the top. And the newer phones such as the Droid RAZR maxx hd have a great notification LED under the speaker. The option that apple includes to use the camera flash as a notification is just a horrible solution.

Game changer?? who said it would be a game changer? I didn't...

Everyone is different with different opinion, desire, & wants? I think it will be cool to have some sort of soft white / bluish LED indicator ring around the home button to "softly" blink when you have a new notification.

If you don't like or want it.. then I am pretty sure Apple would be bright enough to have an option to turn it off under the settings.

Perhaps you understand now...

Game changer - meaning would be the reason someone would switch back to the iPhone - ignoring other more substantial features.

I just find it interesting how BIG it is for some people - that's all. I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling that way. And if Apple implements one, fine. I'll turn it off and a large group of people here will scream for joy over it.

Lol, just funny is all.
