| The Iphone 5S/5C/etc Thread
Anyone else excited for tomorrow?
Kind of curious as to see if they really are putting a fingerprint sensor on the phone or not...  |

I am!
Time to replace my 3 year old iPhone 4. The fingerprint sensor is all but confirmed.

I'm curious as to what the price for the 5C will be, and whether there will be an AWS variant.
The fingerprint sensor is supposedly going to be integrated into the Home button of the 5S.

I heard that home button integration too, but don't you guys find that a little too small for a fingerprint sensor? I mean, if it's going to be that small it might be similar to the laptop ones, but you will have to swipe down pretty hard. It will definitely be interesting to see!
I am due for my new hardware upgrade from my iphone4 so hopefully this doesn't disappoint!

They need to make the phone at least 4.6 inch. Using a note2 and when I play around with my friends iphone4s and iphone5, the screen feels so tiny and is so hard to type on that tiny keyboard.......

Fuck that... if they make the phone any larger, I will be sticking with my iPhone 5. There are already a lot of options for somebody who wants to try and put a tablet masquerading as a phone in their dress pants...

They have to be using fingerprint technology soon. Apple didn't dump $350 million to buy Authentec for nothing. Biggest problem they're likely having is making it usable and durable (remember the failure that was the Motorola Atrix fingerprint scanner?). I'm sure Apple doesn't want all their fingerprint sensors quitting 6 months after people start using them. Or becoming horribly inaccurate.
Rumor also has it that Apple's (Authentecs) new sensor requires "live" tissue in order to read. Meaning it's not going to be easily fooled as many current systems can be by using lifted/duplicated prints.

Apple better step up their game. This incremental update shit is bad for everyone, Android/BB/WP8 fans included.

I am pretty damn excited, have been using iOS 7.0 since the first day it was announced for beta.
Now they are at the point where it's not buggy and great for everyday!
I am just happy with a new OS and a faster phone :P

i am sketched about the durability of this fingerprint technology on the home button. its already small as it is and its one of the most used button ever on that phone. and it will break so easily. i wonder how much it would cost to have to replace that stupid home button. its not cheap as it is already.

^I also want to know if there is a site to watch it.
I will most likely use engadget's live feed: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/10/a...liveblog-2013/  | |
