Announced today was the iPhone 5s and 5c from Apple.
Apple iPhone 5C
Available in blue white pink yellow and green colours.
Starts with 16gb of Storage space.
5c Back and sides one single piece, front entire glass. You won't see joins or seams. Custom cases specific for 5c, silicon rubber.
Hard coated poly carbonate material and internally is re-inforced with steel that doubles as the antenna.
8 MP camera
Larger battery than iphone 5
Additional network bands supported, and can download up to 100Mbit
Bluetooth 4.0
Apple iPhone 5S
Comes in 3 finishes. Silver , Gold and Space Grey
By far the biggest change is the new A7 Chipset which is now a 64 bit processor and is around 2x as fast as the previous model iPhone 5.
M7 Chipset , dedicated processor to detecting motion that works independantly of the A7 processor. Apple have introduced new API's that programmers can take advantage of to develop a whole range of fitness, tracking apps. ( Yes we can use our iPhones as lap timers)
Runs opengles version 3.0 ( latest graphic standards)
- Advanced rendering affects - Awesome Gaming / Video effects similar to desktop pcs
The camera has also received multiple upgrades and will enhance the current trend of people no longer owning the traditional point and click cameras. The camera on the front ( yep the one used to take selfies) is also being upgraded. You can also take up to 10 photos a second with the burst mode on the camera.
The camera also has a slow motion feature which is really awesome, the video camera captures at 720p at 120 frames per second. 52 mins at in the keynote link attached.
Leather cases are available to purchase.
