Apple pulled back the curtain on its buzzy, constantly-rumored
iPhone 5 successor at a Tuesday launch event held at the company's
Cupertino, CA headquarters. Physically, the iPhone 5S closely resembles
the iPhone before it, but bulks up internal performance to give its
latest high-end smartphone an edge.
Leaked images told us
that the iPhone 5S would come in a shimmery champagne shade in addition
to shiny white and basic black. Well, rumors were partially right: we'll
see space gray, white, and that bubbly champagne, all made in
high-grade aluminum. Bye, bye, basic black. Hardware design stays the
course with the same chamfered edges as the iPhone (that means the
45-degree angles on the corners.)
Here's something new: the
iPhone 5S will have the first 64-bit chip in a mobile phone, but will be
backwards-compatible with 32-bit apps. Under the hood, Apple's A7
processor promises to power the iPhone 5S with 56 times the performance
of the very first iPhone.
On the gaming front, the iPhone 5S
features OpenGP ES 3.0., which has the potential to make this phone the
technically best performing in the smartphone world. (CNET mobile gamer
Eric Franklin will love splicing this one up.)
Calling it "the most forward-thinking phone anyone's ever made," this new iPhone ships with iOS7 software inside,
which Apple previewed earlier this summer. A brighter, more colorful
interface is one major cosmetic enhancement. A Control Center you can
call up from any screen for one-touch settings, and new camera apps are
more substantial features.
