by One of the strangest common threads among all the leaks we’ve seen of the iPhone 5S so far is that none have featured the fingerprint sensor we’ve heard so much about. Yet with some leaked photos from French site Nowhereelse.fr, that may have changed. Depicting a new home button flex cable part, the image looks as though it could at last prove that one of the iPhone 5S’s most anticipated features may be a reality, after all.
As MacRumors notes, the flex cable button sports the identifier number 821-2092-01, which fits well with number scheme Apple tends to use with its parts. In addition, the manufacturing code 1329 seems suggest that it was made during the 29th week of 2013, which would have fallen in mid-July. This late date of manufacture may prove why we haven’t seen it in any of the previous leaks: for whatever reason, Apple just didn’t include it in the prototypes that were leaked earlier.
