Add to Flipboard Magazine.

When someone wants to know before anyone else what Apple is about to launch, look at two things: rumors and iOS source code. The latter has already given hints about new models of iPad last month, and now they have found signs that future generations inherit the tablet sensor TouchID iPhone 5s.

A number added to that code (specifically found in iOS 7.1) within the property BiometricKit suggests that this sensor will be in a new range of iOS devices, namely the iPad Air and iPad mini. There will be no discrimination depending on the model, and that can also mean that plans to exploit more fully the sensor are closer. 

We WWDC event in sight, but will be far more focused software not the hardware. But this year we need to see new iPad, and the combination of the sensor and the latest news TouchID iOS 8 can lead to very interesting things.
