FYI, this story is more than a year old
There's been a few leaks this week on Chinese micro blogging site Weibo of an iPhone 5s with a silver ring around the place you usually see the fingerprint reader. Better photos came later through some Chinese blogs and then the photos leaked out to the West via Mashable. As previous patent applications have shown, and subsequent acquisitions have proven, Apple are definitely in the market for fingerprint reading. There's been some speculation whether this would make it into the 5S or whether it would end up in the 6, but the commentary from Mashable sounds pretty credible:
