Many rumors have been spreading around the web about what the new iPhone will bring us, although most of these rumors haven’t been confirmed or are all based on speculation.
With that said, one stood out to me in particular. According to Mayor Bloomberg’s office, the next iPhone will come with a fingerprint (or biometric) sensor built into it. You might be asking yourself, why would the Mayor of New York City would make such a speculation in the first place on the iPhone?
Interestingly enough, the mayor has been concerned with the ever-growing iPhone theft problem growing in his city, which accounted for 3,890 incidents in 2012. Biometric locks on these new iPhones would vastly improve the security of the devices and hopefully lower the incentive to steal an iPhone.
