Although the iPhone 5c wasn’t successful by Apple’s standards, the lower-end plastic iPhone was still incredibly popular, which is why the company has decided to give the device a bit of an update. A promotional photo that was posted on the Apple Store showed a new version of the device which, while almost completely unchanged, will come equipped with a Touch ID home button.

A promotional photo posted to Apple’s online storefront this week shows what appears to be a new version of the plastic-backed iPhone 5c, largely unchanged save for the notable addition of a Touch ID sensor in the home button. The photo, which comes at the end of the promotional set for Apple’s recently-revamped Lightning dock, depicts a pink model with a blank home button that matches the iPhone 5s and 6. The current-generation iPhone 5c carries the old-style home button with the outline of an app icon. Aside from the Touch ID home button, the pictured device looks much the same. The FaceTime camera remains above the earpiece, while the lock button is on the top right and distinct, pill-shaped buttons control the volume. The iPhone 5c with an apparent Touch ID fingerprint sensor was first noticed by AppleInsider reader Scott.
