I know the image quality is bad, but take a closer look where you will see something different in the home button…
9to5Mac alerts us to the Chinese-language C Technology which this morning published the images seen top right and below. These questionable shots appear to depict the iPhone 5S in Apple’s standard white box.
Unlike the current design – the round recessed button with the iconic square icon in the middle – here we have a significant departure. It still looks the same, but the square icon is gone and there’s a noticeable silver ring surrounding the button.
The above pictures seemingly contradicts KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who claimed the iPhone 5S will have a sapphire-protected convex Home button to support and protect the delicate fingerprint sensor. I was able to confirm with my sources that is not the case.
Additionally, previously leaked images have pointed to some sort of change with the Home button design, ostensibly in order to accommodate a fingerprint sensor.
