Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone 5 - a smartphone, is markedly different from previous models 4 / 4S. First of all, the device has received a 4-inch screen instead of a 3.5-inch, which was a response to the trend of increasing diagonal screens in mobile devices. The design of the iPhone 5 has also changed, although the basic features of the smartphone has kept its predecessor. Today, Apple will introduce an updated version of its flagship smartphone, which is likely to get the name of the iPhone 5S.
What can we expect from the new smartphone? Let us remember and structuring all the rumors and leaks, which in recent months flooded the Internet.
Title
Traditionally, Apple added the letter S to the index last year's model, updating its "stuffing", but without affecting the appearance. That's what will happen with the new flagship, which looks virtually indistinguishable from the iPhone 5, but has a substantial "internal" changes. Almost from the very first rumors about a new device figured this name - iPhone 5S, as such it remained until today.
How it will look
As we have said, in order to get an idea of the appearance of the iPhone 5S, just look at the iPhone 5. In their appearance, with a few exceptions, there is no difference.
At all "leaked" photos of the new smartphone looks similar to the iPhone 5. Just arranged controls, speaker, camera (about the outbreak of a separate conversation), on the bottom - in speaker and Lightning connector. All the same.
However, all these photos, we almost did not see the front cover of the new smartphone, but I think the surprise will not be here. Except perhaps that the button Home, which also talking about the front.
The same 4-inch Retina display
Although the network periodically appeared rumors that the new flagship Apple will receive almost 6-inch display, no miracles will not happen. iPhone 5S familiar from iPhone 5 Retina-screen diagonal of 4 inches. For those who do not remember or do not know its characteristics, we recall resolution 1136h640 points, density 326 ppi.
camera
And here there is a change. However, they relate to the main chamber, because of the front we have not heard anything, and, most likely, it will not undergo changes. As for the main iSight camera various rumors were afloat, she predicted a 12-13 megapixel resolution, but, most likely, this option will remain the same - 8 MP. But the changes will still be. It is expected that the camera will have an improved ability to take pictures in poor conditions illumination, which will contribute to a new and dual LED flash, which has, according to rumors, white and yellow elements.
Interest is the new feature of Mogul, allows you to record a video with 120 frames per second. This will give users the ability to create video clips with the "slow motion" and other effects.
"Filling"
The main feature will be the presence iPhone 5S A7 processor which, according to some sources, is 31% more productive than its predecessor A6 mounted in iPhone 5. In the processor, according to sources, there is a separate chip to track movements.
As for the other components, the information on them is practically no. Most likely, iPhone 5S will get 1 GB of RAM, there is a possibility of increased capacity battery installation - 1600 mAh vs. 1440 in the iPhone 5. The latter assumption is reinforced by the photos published resource MacRumors:
Wireless connections
iPhone 5S, is expected to be able to connect to virtually any cellular network access points and other devices. Of course, there is Bluetooth 4.0, as well as all of the latest cellular frequencies, including UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA, GSM / EDGE, CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B.
Chance also expanded LTE support, and possibly the Chinese TD-LTE, but LTE + smartphone support is unlikely to be.
iPhone 5S will work with all standard Wi-Fi, with whom he worked and the iPhone 5 - 802.11a / b / g / n (802.11n 2,4 and 5 GHz), but what about the new 802.11as no certainty.
Color and memory capacity
Now let's talk about colors. iPhone 5 comes in two varieties - white / silver and black / gray. iPhone 5S, it seems, will be released in four: white / silver, black / gray, white / gold (or champagne color) and mysterious color, "graphite". The appearance of golden version was quite skeptical about, but this coloring confirmed sufficiently reliable sources.
With the options in terms of memory, most likely, everything will remain the same as the iPhone 5: 16/32/64 GB. Appeared rumors about the exit 128-gigabyte version, but evidence that there is little, except for the analyst report Ming-Chi Kuo. However, given the release of iPad 128GB, it can be assumed that this version will be available for your smartphone.
Killer feature
In models with the index S Apple has always been at least one "killer-You" to induce users wish to upgrade their smartphones. The iPhone 3GS is a video recording was in 4S - Siri voice assistant. For the iPhone 5S will be a function of a fingerprint scanner. Here's how it might look in the opinion of the artist Martin von Hayek:
The function will use technology developed by AuthenTec's, which Apple bought last year for nearly $ 400 million. With fingerprint scanner can be quickly and easily unlock your smartphone, but it is only the first stage. In the future, this authentication can be used for access to Apple services, as well as for all kinds of mobile payments.
The cost and the start of sales
There is no reason to assume that the iPhone 5S will be more expensive than its predecessor. This means that in retail it is sold for $ 649, $ 749 and $ 849 for the version with a storage capacity of 16, 32 and 64 GB respectively. If you see a 128-gigabyte model, its price will be $ 949. A bit too much.
The smartphone sales will be from 20 September, we are talking about the countries of the "first wave". This is confirmed by numerous rumors from various sources, as well as information from the mobile operators have canceled holidays of their employees on these days.
