Yesterday, Apple announced the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, and now Apple has released a couple of promo videos for the new iPhone 5S, which you can see below.
The first video showcases the innovative Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the iPhone 5S, a feature that promises to revolutionize the way users secure their devices. The second video highlights Apple’s new and improved iSight camera, demonstrating its enhanced capabilities in capturing stunning photos and videos.
Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor is one of the most talked-about features of the iPhone 5S. This advanced technology allows users to unlock their phones with just a touch of their finger, providing a seamless and secure way to access their devices. The sensor is built into the home button and uses a high-resolution image of the fingerprint to create a detailed map that is stored securely on the device. This ensures that only the registered user can unlock the phone, adding an extra layer of security.
In addition to unlocking the phone, Touch ID can also be used to authorize purchases from the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store, making it a convenient feature for users who frequently download apps, music, and books. The fingerprint data is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave within the A7 chip, ensuring that it is never accessible to other software or stored on Apple’s servers.
Enhanced iSight Camera
The iPhone 5S also boasts a significantly upgraded iSight camera. With a larger sensor, an f/2.2 aperture, and a dual-LED flash, the camera is designed to capture more light and produce better photos, even in low-light conditions. The new True Tone flash adjusts the color and intensity of the flash to match the ambient light, resulting in more natural-looking photos.
The camera also includes a burst mode that allows users to take multiple photos in quick succession, and a slow-motion video feature that captures video at 120 frames per second. These enhancements make the iPhone 5S a powerful tool for photography enthusiasts and casual users alike.
The iPhone 5S will go up for pre-order on the 20th of September. The handset will retail for $199 for the 16GB model on a new two-year contract and for $649 without a contract. This pricing strategy makes the iPhone 5S accessible to a wide range of consumers, from those looking for a high-end smartphone to those who prefer not to be tied to a contract.
