iPhone 5S release date, news and features

The new iPhone 5S has the same design as the iPhone 5(which is discontinued) but has a completely new feature set.
In addition to the white and black (space grey) variants, there is also a new gold and white version.
iPhone 5S processor and graphics
There's a 64-bit Apple A7 chip on board with over a billion transistors (32-bit and 64-bit apps are supported) That's an incredible 56 times as fast as the original iPhone.
The first-of-its-kind chip packs twice as many transistors in a piece of silicon roughly the same size as the A6 - 102mm squared.
iOS 7 will obviously support the 64-bit chip too. A native 64-bit kernel, libraries and drivers are all part of the package.
The graphics, featuring OpenGL ES 3.0, are also twice as fast and Apple was keen to demonstrate the gaming prowess of the handset with Infinity Blade 3.

iPhone 5S battery life

As for battery life, the iPhone 5S will allow for 10 hours of 3G talk time, and 10 hours of LTE browsing. Indeed, the iPhone 5S is better at mobile browsing on LTE than on 3G - ten hours vs eight. Now that's a leap forward.

iPhone 5S camera

The camera is a case of same resolution, bigger sensor with the 8 megapixel device featuring a f/2.2 five element Apple designed lens with true tone flash. Video is 1080p, while there's 120fps 720p slow motion, too, plus a burst mode.
It can capture a 28MP panorama that adjusts exposure as a user pans their camera.
The sensor includes a 15% larger active area, and pixels (taking the bigger is better route) amount to 1.5 microns.
The long-rumored dual-flash is indeed part of the iPhone 5S' camera package. Auto-image stabilization is on the way.

iPhone 5S Touch ID

iPhone has also introduced a new fingerprint reader on the home button of the iPhone 5S. It scans sub-epidermal skin layers, scans at 500ppi and is, incredibly just 170 microns thick. Thanks to the ring around the home button, it knows your finger is there and you don't have to tell it to scan. It can even scan your print at whatever angle you press the button at. It's integrated with iOS 7, and you can even make iTunes purchases by finger authentication.

iPhone 5S M7

There's also M7, a motion co-procesosr that continually measures motion data featuring an accelerometer and gyroscope. It enables improved heath and fitness apps. So think better and more precise fitness apps.

iPhone 5S release date and price

The iPhone 5S release date is September 20. US pricing is set at $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB.
Lastly, the camera can capture a 28MP panorama that adjusts exposure as a user pans their camera.
Apple also released the iPhone 5C, which is essentially an iPhone 5 reworked inside a plastic case at a budget price point.
