iPad 5 / iPad Mini 2 to feature fingerprint sensor?

2013-10-02
so as you guys know I have managed to compile a long list of components for what might be the next generation of iPad or the iPad 5 the latest being this space gray back panel that you've seen earlier but I actually noticed something examining these further specifically with the front panels and the home button opening when placed on top of the previous generation of iPad there is not enough space for the old home button to fit flush now that might sound a little bit strange but basically what this means is that the old home button is a little bit too large for the opening on the front panel from the next version now that might not seem very exciting but it might point in the direction of a fingerprint sensor so in order to find out I decided to dissect my iPhone 5s in gold and remove the fingerprint sensor from it to test this theory a little bit so here it is as you can see in all of its glory and don't worry no iPhones were harmed in this particular production I put it back together after the fact I then removed an old home button from a previous generation of iPhone this one is identical to the home button on the last generation of iPad the one that's sitting underneath here and as I suspected the old button will not fit through even when you have removed it and you're trying to fit it in independently of the iPad here you can see it does not fit flush there is a ridge that is accessible with my fingernail there so it definitely is not designed for that but when I go ahead and grab the fingerprint sensor that I've removed from the iPhone 5s it fits in there perfectly perfectly flush and it almost looks like it was designed to go in there now as you guys know until we have official word from Apple we can't say with 100% certainty that the next generation of iPad will indeed ship with a fingerprint sensor that being said these findings right here in conjunction with some rumors and speculation that's going on around the web what appear to point in the direction of the fingerprint sensor being included in the next generation of eye and of course only time will tell and we will wait patiently for Apple to pick it's time to tell us anyway guys that wraps up this video right here if you enjoyed it please remember to leave a thumbs up down below and if you want to see more content like this remember to hit the subscribe button before you leave alright guys thanks for watching I'll catch on the next episode later
