smartphone from Apple

The iPhone 5S marked the beginning of 64-bit power. While the Android world was going with 4-core 32-bit processors, Apple raised the bar with its dual-core 64-bit A7, which has about twice the power of the A6.

The iPhone 5S also introduced a built-in fingerprint sensor in the iPhone’s home button known as Touch ID. It was also the first iPhone available in gold.

The 5S has an improved camera and a dual-LED flash that can adjust for different lighting situations. Automatic HDR is standard on the 5S – it had been an user option on the 4S and 5. Digital image stabilization is also new with the 5S.
