Earlier today Apple announced the release of their newest addition to the line of iPhones, confirming rumors of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C . The phones will be release in silver, black, and gold to start.
The newest iPhone model will feature a 64-bit A7 processor, which boasts CPU speeds twice as fast as in previous models. According to Apple boss Tim Cook, it will be, “the world’s first smart phone with 64-bit desktop-class architecture”
Additionally, the 5S will include a second chip called the M7, which is a motion co processor that tracks motion data. According to Apple, this chip will pave the way for a new generation in fitness and health apps.
Apple has also confirmed a ‘Touch ID’ element, which allows for fingerprint scanning to increase phone security. This new fingerprint system will replace the current passcode security system.
The 8-megapixel iPhone camera has been updated with new stabilization to better capure images of objects and people mid-motion. Also, a ‘burst mode’ has been added which rapidly photographs action sequences.
The 5S will come in three size/price models: 16GB at $199, 32GB at $299, and 64GB at $399. The iPhone 5C will come in two models: 16GB at $99, and 32 GB at $199. All of these prices come with a two year contract deal.
The iPhone 5C will be released in blue, yellow, red, green, and white models. These new models hit the market on September 20th.
