You’ll also notice that the revised home button has a new look, foregoing the square icon in the middle, and adding a color-coordinated metal ring which makes the front of the phone look much more refined. Apple is calling this feature “Touch ID.” A 170 micron-thin fingerprint sensor has been built into the iPhone 5s’ home button, allowing easy authentication without having to remember an unlock passcode.

One new feature that’s been anticipated for a while is the ability to unlock your iPhone using your own fingerprint. While we’ll have to wait to see actual images from the iPhone 5S before passing judgment, the sample images shown at today’s press conference were impressive:
#SPECS. TO BUILD A HAMSTER MAZE 720P#
It can also capture 120fps slow-motion video at 720p resolution. When shooting in burst mode, the camera app automatically shows you what it thinks is the best shot. The camera can also capture multiple images simultaneously, picking the sharpest image automatically.
#SPECS. TO BUILD A HAMSTER MAZE SKIN#
This allows for over 1000 unique color variations to help the flash color match the colors of surroundings and improve skin tones in flash photos. However, the camera’s resolution remains at 8 megapixels. One big change is the camera’s new flash, which now has two LEDs – one cool white, the other warm amber. It offers a new five-element lens with an F2.2 aperture, and its sensor is 15% larger than the one in the iPhone 5, allowing for larger pixels and improved image quality and low-light sensitivity. IPhone 5S buyers will also be treated to an improved camera. It works with a new CoreMotionAPI which can tell apps if you’re moving, walking, driving, running, etc, and use this data to drive applications – even going so far as to shut down features which are unnecessary during certain activities – like searching for Wi-Fi hotspots while driving. The iPhone 5S is also Apple’s first device to include their new M7 “Motion Processor” chip, which combines accelerator, gyroscope and compass in a single package. Yes, the iPhone 5S is the first smartphone with a 64-bit CPU.Īpple claims that running true 64-bit apps, the iPhone’s CPU and GPU are both about two times faster than the iPhone 5 (and an astounding 40 to 56 times faster than the original iPhone if that really matters). Graphics are also now powered by OpenGL|ES 3.0, like the Nexus 7. It’s powered by Apple’s latest CPU, the A7, a true 64-bit chip which is supposed to run dramatically faster than the A6 found in the current iPhone 5. The iPhone 5S offers a 4-inch retina display, set into a slate, silver or “champagne” gold metal case, made from high-grade aluminum. So let’s see if today’s announcements live up to your expectations. Just figure out what’s next.” That’s the Steve Jobs quote that greeted visitors to today’s announcement event – setting high expectations for Apple’s hotly-anticipated next-gen mobile devices. “If you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should do something else wonderful, not dwell on it too long. The 5S builds on the already solid iPhone 5, upgrading its speed, and throwing in a few new capabilities, while the 5C offers a low-cost alternative for markets where Apple isn’t yet a market leader. As expected, Apple today revealed their latest and greatest iPhone models – the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.

Another year, another iPhone announcement.
