This is to differentiate the iPhone 5S from other Apple smartphones which have identical home buttons and especially from the iPhone 5 which look very similar to the iPhone 5S according to the current images and rumours on ground.

This is not the first time of rumours about the fingerprint scanner. It is expected that Apple looks to improve the security on its smartphone by introducing fingerprint scanners which will allow only the user to unlock the phone.

Apple acquired a fingerprint company AuthenTec last year in a $356 million deal and this could possibly be the reason for the acquisition. The fingerprint sensor is not expected to be in the low-budget version, the iPhone 5C.

There have been speculations that Siri would also be absent from iPhone 5C as they are deemed high end features. The iPhone 5C is also expected to come in plastic cases of different colours.

Tomorrow, Apple has an event scheduled for 10am PT (1pm ET/6pm GMT) at its California campus where it is expected that the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C will be unveiled. Stay tuned for the details.
