iPhone5S :
Yes Apple is sticking with the half upgrades as they announced the iPhone5S as we all expected.
Available colors will be Silver, gold, and “a new space gray.”
Features:
A7 chip, 64 bit. The world’s first 64 bit mobile phone
It’s made of a high-grade aluminum, with diamond-cut, chamfered edges. (Same as iPhone5)
It runs OpenGP ES 3.0. “This means that graphics-intense applications can bring their console- and desktop-level performance to the iPhone 5S.”
They announced a whole new chip, the M7 which will continuously measure motion data, accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. This chip enables a new generation of health and fitness apps.
There’s a new, 5-element, Apple-designed lens with f/2.2 aperture. A 15 percent larger sensor.
“When you do take a picture, unbeknownst to you it actually takes multiple pictures.” This phone will automatically choose the best one for you.
All new TrueTone flash. “Whatever color your flash is it’s going to clash with the color of the room and give you a color that doesn’t look right. The flash is a dual-element, cool and amber. It offers 1,000 possible color temperatures!”
120fps slow-motion camera
Security:
Touch ID, fingerprint. built right into the home button. It’s still a physical button, that you need to push down, but there’s a metal ring that senses your finger.
How it works:
Touch ID capable sensor
170 microns thin
500 ppi resolution
Scans sub-epidermal skin layer
360 degree readability
They go on to say its a “very high level of security.There’s a secure area as portion of the A7 accessible only by the Touch ID, it’s never stored online or backed up to the iCloud.”
This feature can also be used for iTunes purchases.
You can pre-order the 5C on September 13th and purchase the 5C and 5S on the 20th.
