Some articles suggested that Apple tries to embed scanner in the screen, and if they don't manage to do it, it'll be placed on the power button instead. Of course these are just rumours

There's no way it's going on the power button. It was an absurd idea that someone threw out there and people just keep repeating it. The surface is far too small, and such a mechanism way too complicated for the space available.

Don't Sony phones already have this working?
