iPhone 5S Rumored to Feature Sapphire Crystal Home Button

According to TechNews, the fingerprint sensing home button rumored to be on Apple's next-gen iPhone will be a capacitive touch-sensitive button covered by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, instead of a touch-sensitive virtual button. The source added that iPhone 5S is expected to arrive this summer along with the rumored low-cost iPhone. Although many previous rumors have persisted here and there with regard to Apple introducing a fingerprint sensor in a subsequent iPhone, this news hints the possibility of a much bigger effort on Apple's part to make the home button as revolutionary as possible. In addition, It is well known that Apple acquired fingerprint scanning and security firm AuthenTec in 2012, so it is possible that the company plans to utilize its latest technology in future products. However, whether or not the iPhone 5S will feature an AutheTec sensor and Sapphire Crystal Home Button remains to be seen, and we do not know when that will be. News From TechNews
