For months it has been rumored that iPhone 5S it would be the first idevice of the Apple company that would implement a fingerprint reader, and a technology presented in the application a patent tells us how they could do it Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), everything. The company from Cupertino imagines that it could implement this fingerprint reader in the sides of the terminal screen instead of the Home button, and the electrical impulses would allow reading the users' touches. In this implementation, the Apple company would keep the functionality of the Home button and could implement such a component in its iDevices without substantially modifying their functionality.
The present disclosure is related to integrated circuit packaging, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for integrally molding a die and one or more bezel structures, with portions of each exposed or at most thinly covered, for fingerprint sensors and the like. […] Traditionally, the bezel and the encapsulated die have each been separate elements, brought together in the process of assembling or packaging the sensor apparatus. That is, the bezel and die are not encapsulated together.
The application filed today by the Apple company is a continuation of an invention patent for which registration was initially requested in 2010, so Apple has been working on technologies of this kind for quite some time. Apple consistently refused to implement the technology NFC in its terminals and the use of a fingerprint reader seems to be the only logical explanation for this stubbornness to adopt a technology used in mobile terminals. If this fingerprint reader will not be implemented in iPhone 5S, then we will probably see him in iPhone 6, but if things will be different, then we can think about its use.
