The new iPhone 6 has not undergone any dramatic change in terms of the outer design but it is speculated that Apple will offer a tighter Mac integration and a more rounded out design as compared to its previous version. The fingerprint sensor of Apple’s Touch ID feature will have lesser restrictions with newer software kits to be added along with the gadget.
Application developers may have access to the new operating system even before the official release date is to be announced which is estimated to be approximately three months. For those interested in getting their software updated can avail of it if they have an iPhone 4S or above and iPad 2 in case of the tablets. The iPod touch 5th gen can also get access to the new iOS. The iPhone 6 with iOS 8 is slated for a September launch this year.
Till date the fingerprint scanner feature limited users from bypassing the lock screen and being able to buy apps from iTunes store. However, with the iOS 8 app developers will get a special access with a five digit login tool thereby enabling all apps to make use of the biometric scanning home button.

Do not worry about app developers getting access to your valuable data because all your biometric information is stored in the A7 processor much to your relief.
