As expected, September 10, Apple introduced its new flagship - iPhone 5s, which will be running the latest iOS 7. Many of the rumors are true, but something that was a surprise to us. As always, Apple stashed a couple of aces up its sleeve, but let's all in order.

Externally, the iPhone 5s is almost no different from last year's model, which was predictable. The smartphone will be available in three colors: gold, silver and gray (which in Russian official Apple Store for some reason christened "milky gray").
A key feature of the new model is the availability of Touch ID fingerprint scanner. It is built into the Home button in the form of a sapphire disk and allows you to unlock the device or to authorize an account in the App Store without using passwords. It is possible to add a few fingerprints that will be useful for your family members. Also worth noting is that the scanner reads the typos any angle. Stored data is not available for print applications and will not be sent to Apple's servers - they are stored in encrypted form on the device.
As for the hardware evil part, it was a revolutionary flagship A7 processor, which has a 64-bit architecture. On frequencies traditionally silent, but kupertinovtsy claim that the CPU performance has increased by one third compared with the A6. The chip supports OpenGL ES 3.0 technology and will enable the graphics to a new level games. At the presentation were shown a demonstration of the final, third part of the Infinity Blade, which looked amazing. Backward compatibility with the already released 32-bit applications are supported.
Another innovation part of the iron is a coprocessor M7, responsible for tracking position of the device in space. It will process the data of the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, it would be useful for different applications sports orientation. Most likely, the M7 will cause a new wave of applications that employ its capabilities.
The camera of the new iPhone 5s also undergone a major upgrade. But Apple did not get involved in "the race megapixels," increasing and so is quite high resolution. We have all the same 8 megapixels, but with increased and improved matrix.
The app "Camera" is optimized for use with the new sensor. Now iPhone automatically takes a series of shots and after the instant analysis selects the best (check white balance, exposure, color and autofocus). Thanks to a fantastic rate 120fps frame when shooting in 720p resolution - you can shoot videos in smooth slow-mo style. A series of images can be captured while holding down the shutter button, the iPhone will do 10 frames per second. And yet, the updated camera allows to shoot 28-megapixel panorama - exposure will adjust automatically as you move the device.
The device is a new outbreak of True Tone. It consists of two LEDs: cool blue and warm yellow. LEDs work in pairs and provide the most correct color balance in low light conditions.
Despite the increase in functionality and performance, Apple has managed to improve self-contained device operating time. As stated the data hold unit 250 hours of standby time and 10 hours at conversations in 3g networks. While surfing the LTE network will be at your disposal 10 hours, while listening to music and watching videos, 40 and 10 hours, respectively. It's just a great result.
The cost of iPhone 5s in the United States, provided a two-year contract with the mobile operator will be $ 199 for the 16GB model, $ 299 for 32GB and $ 399 for 64GB.
