Leaked new iPad photo shows Touch ID fingerprint scanner

According to a photo published on Tuesday by Eastern insider C Technology, Apple’s fifth-generation iPad will be equipped with a Touch ID scanner in the home button.

This is not the first time the anonymous insider has made this claim, and his track record is fairly solid when it comes to leaking details and photos of components from unreleased devices. Apple’s second-generation iPad mini was also recently pictured in gold with a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, BGR reported.

Apple will unveil its next-generation iPad lineup during a press conference next week on October 22nd, and both tablets are expected to launch the following week.
