There are endless rumors that the fingerprint reader will appear on the iPhone 5S, and it is reported that the technology will also be applied to Apple's iWatch.

Brian White, analyst at Ticonderoga Securities in New York, believes that iPhone 5s and so-called iWatch will all use fingerprint verification technology after talking with related suppliers.

White said Apple's so-called fingerprint recognition function will be used for necessary security purposes. He believes that this technology will create opportunities for Apple's other business areas, especially to provide its products with the ability to pay by credit card.

White pointed out that the fingerprint reader will be the main selling point of the iPhone 5S, which will be released in July.

In addition, white also said that fingerprint identifiers will not only be used in iPhone 5S, Apple will also be equipped with this technology this year's release of iWatch. In contact with Apple's Asian component suppliers, he found signs that the supply chain may want to accelerate iWatch production.

In another report on Wednesday, white also said that iWatch may play an important role in Apple's TV products. White also described a product that may be named iring, which will be worn on users' fingers to help control Apple TV.

Speculation in the industry that Apple will configure fingerprint verification technology stems from Apple's acquisition of the fingerprint security company authentec for $0.356 billion last year. The company has created a "smart sensor" product that can place the fingerprint reader under a touch screen display.
