So I guess it's pretty safe to assume that the new iPhone will have a fingerprint sensor!

Not confirmed.

It says in the read that just because the code is there, does not mean it will be implemented in the upcoming hardware. Its still a maybe..

"It's worth pointing out that code inside unreleased versions of Apple's code does not always mean the feature might come immediately. Lines of code for a panorama feature were spotted as far back as 2011, though didn't make it into Apple's iOS software until iOS 6 in late 2012. In this case, Apple's next iPhones are expected to be just a few months away, making this discovery more curious."

Obviously nothing is confirmed until Apple officially confirms it... But I think this is a pretty damn good indication, better than any "evidence" we have seen in the past.

Confirmed my butt. I knew these threads would start after this came out today. We won't know anything for sure until Apple's next keynote. Sorry OP to burst your bubble.

You seem to be the type that will only believe in future things once they are officially announced (which is fine)... but others here actually look at leaks and rumors to deduce what the future will bring.
