The first device with 64-bit desktop-class architecture and a fingerprint scanner.
So the wait is over – Apple unveiled its new devises, and operating system and once again claims to have redefined the smartphone (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/fresh-rumours-surrounding-the-iphone-5-reboot/022018).
The iPhone 5s is its current flagship product, boasting an A7 chip, eight megapixel iSight camera, a secret-agent-like fingerprint scanner and of course the much anticipated iOS7.
Philip Schiller, senior VP at Apple, said: “iPhone 5s is the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world, delivering desktop class architecture in the palm of your hand. iPhone 5s sets a new standard for smartphones, packed into its beautiful and refined design are breakthrough features that really matter to people.”
The new A7 chip has doubled the CPU (central processing unit) and graphics performance, and has increased the overall speed from launching apps and editing photos to playing graphic-intensive games.
Introduced onto the device is the M7 motion coprocessor, which takes the strain off of the main CPU, conserving battery life.
New features for developers include the CoreMotion APIs, which use the M7 coprocessor to offer a better platform for fitness and activity apps. It measures the users motion data, even when the device is asleep, saving energy for pedometer or other fitness apps that use the accelerometer all day.
What could be the most talked about addition to the new iPhone is the Touch ID, a new way to quickly and easily unlock the phone with the touch of a finger.
The print reader uses laser cut sapphire crystals paired with a capacitive touch sensor, taking a high-resolution image of a fingerprint so it can be read from any angle.
Connectivity of the device has been improved with download speeds of up to 100 Mbps, and WiFi support for up to 150 Mbps.
The usual memory sizes are available with the 16GB priced at around £549, the 32GB at £629 and 62GB at about £709.
iOS7 will be available as a free update for iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and iPod touch (fifth generation) from 18th September.
