that you know the date Circle it on your calendar it's probably a good time to get your phone ready to sell on ebay like right now now in iphone news it's believed the iphone 5s will end up using a convex home button that's made out of sapphire to make space for the rumored fingerprint sensor according to KGI analyst ming-chi kuo this would be a change since the home button has been concave curving in words in the past but the new rumors imply that it will curve outwards or slightly bulge I said bold sapphire is very resilient to scratches it's also very pretty and the thinking is it will also protect the fingerprint sensor that's embedded inside now website nowhere else fr showed off a new part this week that they claim is the rear panel of the iPhone 5s it shows a few internal design tweaks with different screw placement along the back of the device but also shows a different metal spacer cushion that supports the rumoured revamped home button as well and Japanese blog

conflicts most reports that claim a 12 megapixel camera is coming now they're also sticking with earlier claims that the iphone 5s will be available in black white and a gold color option and several
