We’ve been hearing about a biometric fingerprint sensor in a coming iPhone for some time. Maybe Apple felt the secrecy just wasn’t worth keeping up.

In the latest version of iOS 7, released today, Apple included code for a Biometric Kit user interface that would enable scanning of a fingerprint on the one button Apple has included on all iPhones, the home button.

Some of the user interface “strings,” (portions of text that are used in an application) include language that suggests a primer or instruction manual for usage: “Photo of a person holding an iPhone with their right hand while touching the Home button with their thumb,” is one, while another says “Recognition is x% complete,” and another says “A fingerprint that changes color during the setup process.”
