The technology is in place and the rumors are true!  The new IPhone 5S arriving in stores next month will have all the improved bells and whistles as expected from Apple but it will also have a little extra added security…as in fingerprint security.  We have heard rumors that Apple would implement biometric security in their iOS devices because of its acquisition of AuthenTec last year, but this rumor really seems to be getting louder in the last few months.

According to BusinessInsider, analyst Brian White has said “we believe fingerprint identification technology will be part of the iPhone 5S and this is likely to be the major new feature used to market the iPhone 5S, similar to what Siri was to the iPhone 4S”

What could this technology mean for you?  Improved security from mobile thieves unable to unlock your phone?  Maybe a new payment delivery system which will accept mobile payments by simply using your fingertips.  What do you think?  Is too much technology always a good thing?
