I've heard rumors that the scanner will be on the back of the phone.

From the latest leaks of cases and whatnot, this seems unlikely. None of the case mockups have cutouts for a fingerprint on the back.

Other rumours include touchID embedded in the glass and/or other forms of biometric authentication (visible+IR cameras and facial detection being the leading contender)

I was always curious if they'd do it through the apple logo on the back instead of a second cutout.
