![]() The problem with these scanners has always been their unreliability: they tend to be finicky, requiring you to swipe your finger in exactly the same way every time and, more often than not, with only minimal success. The 5S isn't the first device to sport a fingerprint scanner - it's a common feature on enterprise notebooks and the Motorola Atrix smartphone also included one. The iPhone 5S' most prominent new feature is its Touch ID biometric fingerprint sensor. Apple will definitely have to increase the screen size at some point, but for now, it's hard to find fault with the 5S' display. It's plenty sharp too, thanks to the smallish display resulting in a 326ppi pixel density. While the display may have been surpassed in terms of specs by some of the larger, Android flagship models with Full HD displays, it's still one of the best displays around, boasting excellent contrast, natural color reproduction, and fantastic viewing angles. Those wishing for a larger iPhone display will have to wait a bit longer as the 5S uses the same 4-inch, 1,136 x 640-pixel resolution Retina Display as the 5. Other than that, everything remains the same as the 5 - button placement, chamfered edges, weight and dimensions are all identical. The 'iPhone' wordmark font on the back of the 5S is also thinner than on the 5, better matching the new font of iOS 7. The camera module itself also loses the metal ring circling the lens. On the reverse, the LED flash is a longer oblong shape, as it now comprises of two flash modules, one with a warm-colored LED and one with a cold-colored LED. While it doesn't really mesh with iOS 7's new bright and colorful design, if you want everyone to know you have the latest and greatest iPhone, this is definitely the color to go for.Ī few minor design changes have also taken place: the home button loses the familiar rounded square logo, and now has a metallic ring around it (which matches the main body color of the phone), and it serves as a biometric fingerprint sensor. Apple has tried to change things up this year by introducing two new colors, Space Gray, a replacement for the old slate and black color with a lighter, gunmetal gray hue, and the brand new Gold, which is thankfully quite tasteful, and certainly not as blingtastic as it could be, with more of a classy, muted champagne bronze tone to it. Like the 3GS and 4S, the 5S is in the unfortunate position of sharing the same design and build as its predecessor. 8MP iSight rear camera with dual warm/cool LED flashes.16/32/64GB internal storage (non-expandable).Apple A7 64-bit dual-core 1.3GHz processor. ![]() ![]() Let's take a look at some of the 5S' key features: Apple iPhone 5S Key Features But what the 5S lacks in design innovation, it makes up for in hardware, with a new 64-bit A7 processor, biometric fingerprint sensor, M7 motion coprocessor, and an improved iSight rear camera with dual warm/cold LED flash - all of which make it the most advanced iPhone ever.īut are these enough to make it a must-have upgrade? The iPhone 5S falls under Apple's 'S' branding, which means that, like the 3GS and 4S before it, it has the same build as the iPhone that came before it (in this case, the iPhone 5). ![]()
