I hope there is. Even better would be a customizable color. But since we´re talking about Apple, we will probably just get a uniform ring with a color that matches the black/white/champagne/graphite.
Got a tip for us?

Wall Street Journal Confirms Fingerprint Sensor in New iPhone Coming Tomorrow

Watch the video TLD posted. The shell of the 5S is shaped different providing room for a larger battery.
If your girlfriend is that suspicious, you might have other issues greater then a fingerprint scanner.
Don't get me too excited. As far as I remember from years past, whenever I speculated the leaked details of the launch and became over-eager for them, I always ended up being disappointed.
Silly as it sounds, I miss the days when I never knew about MacRumors and I would come home one day to check the Apple website and be blown away.
One of the major industrial coatings is made by RPM international which owns Rust-Oleum brand...NeverWet. Though they could license it.
Cool new iPhone feature: upload your fingerprint to NSA direct from your iPhone. And it's so simple you don't even have to hit send. It just magically goes to its database.
If you think the NSA doesn't already have our fingerprints, you're crazy
I'm pretty excited for this feature though!
OMG to think someone sleeping with you would use your finger when you fall asleep is creepy. I feel sorry for those who worry about this. Not sure if it's worse she checks your email in your sleep, or that she'd use your sleeping finger, or that you have emails you're scared of her reading.
It's all weird....
The Atrix. And the fingerprint sensor wore down after several months and stopped working. This was the problem with traditional fingerprint technology. It needed to be swiped, and eventually you'd swipe off the coating.
What Apple is going to unveil tomorrow will be a breakthrough in the field. Something that just works seamlessly and reliably. One that doesn't need to be swiped and thus won't break down. One that can instantly differentiate between which finger you're pressing with, and could assign different functions depending on which finger you press the home button with.
People are really underestimating just how exciting Apples new biometrics technology really is.
You my friend are easy to please.
One thing I know is I miss the old notification pull down from ios 6.x I liked the weather and stock widgets better then the "Today" "notifications" and "missed notifications". It was better as one tab.

If if the poster has emails he doesn't want his girlfriend to see, he might have issues greater as well.
Posting a controversial comment on a popular thread makes my tapatalk beep me every minute.
The iPhone 5 used a newer CPU (A6) and has roughly the same sized battery with the 4S. However the battery life is worse probably due to the enlarged screen and LTE. This year we may see some improvement, but it will be minor unless Apple has some ground breaking battery technologies. And yes, iOS 7 is still new and it still needs several months to optimize the battery usage.
They're adding like 10% more battery in the case. They shifted some stuff around so that they have room. It was in a previous leak or something. That plus the CPU will probably add some solid battery life
So basically just a minor update. iOS 7 isn't anything ground breaking, new colors, welcome to the 21st century, faster processor is a given, improved camera, again should be a given.
SO basically this is a minor update with an amazing new finger print scanner, wow.
How about a bigger screen, NFC, infrared, etc....
No, do you?
Of course it could be disabled, and probably will have it as an option. But if it doesn't work, it will be a big fail. They bought AuthenTec for over $300 million. If its defeated, that's a huge waste and loss of money and development.
So basically you get to define what is a major or minor update? Android phones have had bigger screens and NFC for a while now. What's the big deal about that?
Rumor had it that the Galaxy Note 3 was suppose to have a fingerprint sensor...not sure if it got it
Maybe some keychain integration. There are a lot of possibilities. That fingerprint is unique, after all (though there has some some talk about them being not that reliable after all, which I think is BS). But that´s where Two-Factor authentication comes in.
I actually use my index finger at times when I have the phone on a flat surface. Hopefully you can use multiple digits as a pass print. Something tells me apple will have thought of this.
Not that I care as I'm certainly not buying one. A better camera, flash, spec improvements and battery life are not enough to get me to fork out cash to replace my iphone 5. It's shocking how many people with the 5 that will upgrade though. SMH.
