Sources close to Taiwanese website TechNews claim that Apple could use Sapphire glass to make its traditional home button capacitive in nature. Report further says that the Cupertino-based tech giant has plans to use fingerprint technology sensor to make the device secure.

By using Sapphire crystal thus prevents the capacitive touch button from running scratched. Apple has an experience with Sapphire Crystal; the company has used this second most hard material on the rear back of the iPhone to prevent camera lens. It is believed that Apple is considering a massive change to make the upcoming iPhone, a real competitor to Samsung's Galaxy S4, and soon to be announced the Galaxy Note 3.

The makers are also planning to reveal complete revamped iOS 7 next month at Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC).
