According to the unboxtherapy video posted to YouTube on October 2nd, the next generation iPad may be equipped with a fingerprint sensor. What is interesting, the existing Touch ID sensor used these days in the iPhone 5s fits the leaked iPad 5 front panel perfectly.

The author of the video took apart his gold iPhone 5s and transplanted the fingerprint sensor into the iPad 5 front panel. As we can see in the clip, it fits perfectly - unlike the old home button which is too big.

The company from Cupertino is said to release its iPad 5 this month. However, it is still unclear, whether this new device will feature the Touch ID fingerprint sensor or not.
