Similar to the release of the iPhone 5, the world is pretty excited about the release of the highly-anticipated iPhone 5s, and updates on the iOS 7. Fortunately, Apple officially unveiled the new phones (yes, phones) to the public, and it’s a pretty spectacular range!
Apple launched the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c recently, and they’re both a real upgrade from everything we know about iPhones.
Keeping it traditional, the iPhone 5s is aesthetically similar to the now discontinued iPhone 5, but uses a new A7 processor and is also the first smartphone in the world to have a 64-bit desktop; crucial for running the coveted iOS 7. Furthermore, the phone comes with the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the home screen to ensure better security, and saving time on unlocking their phones. The iPhone 5s looks similar to the iPhone 5 in, but it now comes in three more sleek and colors – Space Grey, Gold and Silver.
