Wall Street Journal Confirms Fingerprint Sensor in New iPhone Coming Tomorrow

I would love to see a "Report Confirms iPhone 5S Wont Be Launching Tomorrow" and no one knows what were expecting for the iPhone 6 that will be launching since all the iPhone 5S information up to this point were all "efforts to double down on secrecy".
 
Why doesn't anyone ever come up with a "waterproof" rumor? Seems obvious considering this summer, and would actually be useful.
 
Part of me wishes that Apple will release the new iPhone(s) either tomorrow or Sometime this week, but the other part of wishes they release them next friday because I'll be at work when they announce it tomorrow.
 
The improved battery life claim comes from the photos of the leaked internal restructuring of the iPhone an that it looks like they are planning on a larger battery. But, like all of this, it's all speculation.
 
Wait a second... How can the WSJ "confirm" anything? The only people that can confirm anything related to Apple is Apple. Yes the WSJ does have a good track record, but unless you quote somebody on the record from Apple, their "confirmation" is pointless and is just another person citing "people familiar with the matter". Hey, can I "confirm" rumors that have been already widely reported?

So how do you waterproof a port and the earphone hole? Yeah by a cover attached to the phone... and this is totally not Apple!

Rumors can only be confirmed when they turn into facts. :D So after all, it's still a rumor.
 
How is OtterBox going to handle this? Or are people with cases just not going to use the fingerprint recognition?

So what's the point? Are you an ax murderer? What do you care if your fingerprints are on file?.. I'd be more concerned with e-mail tracking, purchasing habits, things that define who you are. Fingerprints alone don't tell them anything about you.
