iPhone Fingerprint Scanner Visualized in Concept Video

An iPhone fingerprint scanner is among the features rumored to launch at next week's Apple event. While it's unclear whether or not we'll actually see the scanner added, a new concept video gives a fascinating look at how it could be used to unlock an iPhone with one touch.

Aatma Studio, creators of the viral iPhone concepts that envisioned the device with a stunning laser and a 3D multiplayer hologram for gaming, developed the video.

It's worth noting that Apple patented fingerprint-detection technology last year, and words related to the technology has surfaced in beta code for iOS 7. So perhaps this rumor isn't as far-fetched as you'd think.

What's more, leaked photos show internal components with a cushion near the home button for what could be a scanner. However, in this concept video, the fingerprint technology appears via the touchscreen and isn't accessed directly through the hardware.

Would you want to use a fingerprint scanner to log into an iPhone? Do you think Apple will debut the feature in next week's launch? Give us your take in the comments, below.
