Apple, http://www.apple.com , launched yesterday iPhone 5S. This is the upgrade to the 5. New features include Touch ID. To improve security, Apple has implemented a fingerprint capacitive sensor directly into the home button, which allow you to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone.

The three official colors for the iPhone 5S are gold, silver, and a new space gray instead of black. The phone will contain the new A7 chip, the first 64-bit chip on a smartphone. iOS 7 will run 64-bit and 32-bit apps. The A7 chip will allow the CPU of the 5S to run up to 40 times as fast original iPhone and the graphics to run up to 56 times as fast. 5S will run Open GL|ES 3.0 too.

The M7 motion co-processor will works alongside the A7 chip measuring the accelerometer, compass, and gyroscope. It will be able to tell your apps if you’re on the move on standing still. In terms of battery life: 10 hours for 3G talk time, LTE and Wi-Fi browsing, and video, and 250 hours for standby.

The iPhone 5S will have an improved iSight camera with a new, five-element Apple-designed lens. It has a 15% larger active area and bigger pixels in each photo. When you snap a photo, the 5S will actually take multiples and choose the best one while combining them all for light levels. The new flash will have two LEDs for differing circumstances. The camera can also capture Slo-Mo video at 120 FPS in 720p.Burst mode and a few other camera modes are available. Panoramic photos adjust for light exposure during capture too.
