iPhone 5 set a precedent, with an amazing amount of
technology in a remarkably thin, light design. iPhone 5s builds on that
achievement with Touch ID — a fingerprint identity sensor. An A7 chip with
64-bit architecture. An even more impressive iSight camera. And ultrafast LTE
wireless.
Some New features of iPhone 5s :-
New
Apple A7 chip with 1GB of RAM
The new
iPhone 5S is expected to come with a brand new chip inside - the Apple A7, an
upgrade over the A6 chip on the iPhone 5.
The A7 is a
dual-core 32nm chip manufactured by Samsung using the Higk-K Metal Gate
technology. It features a higher clock speed of 1.5GHz, with better, quad-core
PowerVR SGX 544MP4 graphics and the same 1GB amount of RAM. The type of RAM
however has allegedly changed and Apple is using the now standard LPDDR3-1333
RAM rather than last year’s 1GB LPDDR2-1066. This means emory bandwidth is
higher, going up from 8.5GB/s to 10.7GB/s.
The
iPhone 5S could support near-field communication (NFC) technology
Apple has
steadfastly avoided putting near-field communication in its mobile devices to
date, instead preferring on-screen barcode systems such as Apple's PassBook. So
rumours that Apple could build NFC chips into the iPhone 5S are unlikely to be
fulfilled, based on the company's past actions.

The other
big upgrade will come in the camera department. The consensus is that the new
iPhone 5S camera will have dual LED flash and a wider f/2.0 aperture for better
low-light performance. Dual LED flash will allow for more even lighting and the
lower the aperture, the more light gets into the sensor. That’s why the f/2.0
rumored aperture would be such a great asset for low-light photography compared
to the f/2.4 one on the current iPhone 5.

For years
we have been used to just two color options for the iPhone - black and white,
but this year the iPhone 5S might finally introduce a third one and that’s
gold. Gold here refers to just the color, mind you, there is no actual gold in
the device.
The
fingerprint sensor
The new
Apple iPhone 5S is here, and with it - a fingerprint sensor! But what does it
do, and do we really need this stuff? Well, we can't offer you a complete
answer just yet, but from what we saw during Apple's presentation, it looks
like this new iPhone feature will prove to be quite handy in our everyday
usage.
As
expected, the fingerprint sensor of the iPhone 5S will be built right into the
new home button (which has a new design, by the way). That means the home
button will no longer be just a piece of plastic, but will actually have some
quite sophisticated technology behind it.
