It gives very clear indication that Apple has built out a UI for scanning and setting up fingerprint identification (most likely for unlocking an iPhone). You can find more details about the leak here, from 9to5mac.com
Also for fun check out my original prediction post about the next iPhone having a fingerprint scanner here. Check it out to get the full prediction i made back in the first week of April.
NFC chip (finally iPhone will be able to sync and share data like androids), Airdrop focus makes this unlikely
June/July (a la the first iPhone releases (before it switched to the fall schedule)
