The iPhone 4 introduced back-and-front camera upgrades, the iPhone 4S brought the rear-shooter to 8 megapixels, and the iPhone 5 upgraded the front-camera to HD-quality and capped off the same 8 megapixel system from the iPhone 4S with sapphire crystal. In terms of other internals, even though Apple installed 802.11ac WiFi chips in its MacBook Airs earlier this year, inclusion in the iPhone 5S is unlikely based on the currently available mobile Broadcom chips.įor the past few years, Apple has increasingly focused attention on the camera in the iPhone.

As of now, there are not many reasons for Apple to push a 64-bit chip in the current iPhone however, the chip could allow for Apple to be more forward-thinking with its hardware + software, something that it has not truly done with past iPhone hardware. We have independently heard similar claims about the A7 chip, and we also understand that Apple, for at last a year, has been prototyping and testing versions of the A7 chip that run on 64-bit architecture. It’s no secret that some of iOS 7’s enhancements don’t run smoothly on older Apple hardware. With the iPhone 5 being a speedy phone in its own right, perhaps the iPhone 5S’s processor adjustments are designed to improve the flow and speed of the new graphics, transitions, and animations in iOS 7. This is a low number in comparison to the 50% speed increases that Apple has touted for past iPhone upgrades. According to Morris’s sources, the A7 processor will see speed improvements around 31%. The most specific claim to date about the iPhone 5S’s A7 chip has come from FOX’s Clayton Morris. While processor upgrades in past iPhones focused on overall speed and performance, indications this year point to the iPhone 5S’s processor bump revolving around efficiency and general improvements.

With iOS 7’s flashlight feature in Control Center, the dual-LED flash will also be a nice bonus.Īs with past iPhone upgrades, we’re expecting the iPhone 5S to include an upgraded processor. So, if you are at a dark concert, the iPhone 5S might automatically know to turn on all of the flash’s power. There is also talk that this iPhone 5S dual-LED flash could light up either one or both bulbs depending on current lightning conditions. Besides carrying a nearly identical look to the iPhone 5, here’s what we are expecting in terms of new features:Īs we have also noted, dual-LED flashes can allow for a phone’s flash to reach further distances.

Apple’s iPhone 4 S and iPhone 3G S retained the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3G designs, and this is another reason why many have dubbed the next flagship iPhone the iPhone 5S. The first new iPhone will be what many have dubbed “iPhone 5S.” The phone has gained this nickname (as of today) because of the device’s design similarities to the iPhone 5. We are expecting Apple to reveal two new iPhones tomorrow, both running iOS 7 and both based on iPhone 5 hardware. It will be a defining moment for Apple – an event that will merge iPhone 5 hardware and the iOS 7 software. With the September 2012 iPhone 5 and June 2013 WWDC/iOS 7 events in mind, tomorrow’s September 10th event in some ways will be a culmination of both of those events.

Though the hardware was completely new, the software (iOS 6) looked mostly like its predecessors, and it functioned the same way.Īt WWDC with iOS 7, Apple began ushering in a fresh take on the iOS experience that hundreds of millions of people have enjoyed for over half-a-decade. The changes brought a new, larger display, a more powerful processor, and improved camera hardware technologies. The September event discussed the iPhone 5, a major re-thinking of the iPhone experience. The September event discussed iPhone hardware, and the October keynote brought brand-new iPad hardware.

However, the last time that Apple actually talked in-depth about new devices was at September and October events in the fall of 2012. You can find our roundup below:Īpple’s previous event, WWDC, was all about the software that runs on Apple’s devices. We previously published a round-table of 9to5Mac author hopes for the event, but this roundup will focus on our specific expectations for the keynote address. With Apple’s media event scheduled for tomorrow, we have rounded up what Apple is likely due to introduce.
