iPhone 5S Rumors: Redesigned Home Button Confirmed in Packaging
The iPhone 5S rumors will all be clarified at tomorrow's special media event, but for now there is still a bit of speculation regarding the redesigned home button expected to appear on the device.
New packaging leaked towards the end of last week that is believed to be for the iPhone 5S. This new home button can be found on the picture of the device located on the front of the box for the new iPhone.
The button is now surrounded by a new silver ring and pictured with the usual square in the middle. This design matches up to many of the recent rumors regarding a new home button for the device. However, there is no way to fully confirm that this change in look includes the rumored fingerprint sensor.
