Apple has finally unveiled the much awaited iPhone 5S and the good thing is Rumor mill will finally take some rest after Working nonstop and churning out nonstop leaks and speculations. Yes! The gold/champaign iPhone is for real and so is the rumored silver/ Graphite variant. The Finger print scanner is also official (Touch ID) and can recognize multiple finger prints. Apple has also launched cheaper iPhone 5C and discontinued iPhone 5. Let’s take a detailed look at faster and better iPhone 5s!
“iPhone 5s is the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world, delivering desktop class architecture in the palm of your hand”
“iPhone 5s is the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world, delivering desktop class architecture in the palm of your hand,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone 5s sets a new standard for smartphones, packed into its beautiful and refined design are breakthrough features that really matter to people, like Touch ID, a simple and secure way to unlock your phone with just a touch of your finger.”
iPhone 5s comes in three different colors Silver, Gold and Black and is powered by 64 Bit A7 processor which supports OpenGL ES version 3.0. Apple promises twice as much speed as compared to A6 and this processor features Twice the number of transistors as its predecessor. This phone also comes with new M7 chip which monitors motion data in real time, with help from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, thus power hungry Motion Apps will report to M7 chip rather than CPU to save battery. Don’t fret the 64 bit processor because the 32 bits Apps will also be compatible on this device.
The Display Size remains same at 4 Inch and the display is Apples signature Retina Display with 326 ppi. On the software front this phone will feature the latest iOS 7 operating system. iOS 7 has been engineered to maximize the performance of A7 chipset.
The finger print scanner or as apple calls it Touch ID uses a Saphire crystal together with the capacitive touch sensor, to take a high-resolution image of your fingerprint and intelligently analyze it to provide accurate readings from any angle
Apple has taken the camera features quite seriously this time. The new camera comes with 8 MP sensor and bigger 1.5 micrometer pixels for better low light performance. The a7 chipset will support twice as fast autofocus, automatic image stabilization and faster photo capture.
iPhone 5s introduces the new True Tone flash, the world’s first for any camera-that variably adjusts color and intensity for over 1,000 combinations, so photos taken with a flash appear more natural. The Front face time camera can deliver HD recording and better low light performance
The battery will provide you with up to 10 hrs of talk time and LTE browsing. 10 Hrs of video playback and up to 40 hrs of audio playback. Connectivity features include LTE, Bluetooth and Dual band wi Fi
Phone 5s comes in gold, silver or space gray, and will be available in the US for a suggested retail price of $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for the 64GB model on 2 year contract. It will be available for purchase by next month.
