Additionally, in line with Apple’s recent purchase of AuthenTec, a fingerprint security company, speculations are that the upcoming release will include fingerprint technology of some sort.
Finally, there are also rumors of a “budget” iPhone, which will be made of cheaper materials and have limited functionality, while maintaining all of the iPhone basic features.
