Apple presents us with what is the most advanced iPhone to date, the iPhone 5s. A very renewed iPhone at the hardware level that makes it the iPhone that all Apple fans would like to have. They also present it in renewed colors that are very adapted to the design of the edges of the device, they are no longer as different from the rest of the device as was the case with the iPhone 4, the color is very well integrated throughout the device. Gold, silver, and space gray colors.
But since the physical changes in the 's' models are not very relevant, improvements are focused on the hardware level, And the best of all is that in a way they have lowered the prices, so they make it undoubtedly the best smartphone to date.
The first change that they have presented to us and probably the one that is most important is the new 7-bit A64 processor, and it really has to be said that this is almost a novelty in the mobile world, at least one of these features is. We have a smartphone that they say is up to 40 times faster than the original iPhone, something quite useful in the OpenGL ES graphics it is designed for. In the Keynote they did a demonstration of the game Infinity Blade III and the truth is that it has some pretty incredible graphics.
It also has a new motion microchip, known as M7, provides data from accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, something that developers can take full advantage of. One of them, Nike, took the stage to present a new app that makes the most of this data.
Regarding connectivity, the iPhone 5s has an antenna Wifi 802.11a / b / g / n (802.11n, 2,4 and 5 GHz) and has wireless technology Bluetooth 4.0.
The battery as they tell us it will last us up to 10 hours with conversations under 3g, 40 hours of music playback, and up to 250 hours in standby.
Let's talk about the camera now. And it is that we want or not mobile cameras are the future, well they are already a reality, but it is true that they are used for any photographic activity, even for photography intended for consumption itself (case known as iPhonegraphy, or everything related with Instagram). Many professional photographers have approached this world creating great photographs. Apple from the first moment provided the iPhone with a great camera and it has always been considered one of the best mobile cameras.
Now at first glance it brings us a camera with a somewhat larger optics, and two flash LEDs: one white and one amber. The latter is useful so that there is a color balance when taking the picture automatically. Yes, an automatic camera, but you know that the camera does not make the photographer ...
The camera has 5 elements with a maximum aperture of F2.2. The sensor has also been improved, reaching a active area 15% larger than anterior chamber iPhone 5. You still have 8 megapixels but they manage to reduce noise and increase luminance physically.
The iPhone 5s camera is capable of up to 10 photos per second, and in video mode do just-mo with up to 120 frames per second in HD. A camera that corrects the photographs quite well and makes them of a quite incredible quality.
La front camera has also been improved with 1,2mpx, very focused when using Facetime.
The other great novelty of Apple was the new button Home they have introduced in the iPhone 5s. A renewed button that incorporates a fingerprint sensor, something quite new so far. They call it Touch ID and it is the replacement of the typical button that has been accompanying the iPhone's during this time, leading them to have a touch button that also incorporates the fingerprint reader.
Its use? Well, with it we can unlock our terminal, and use it for any security requirement, such as the passwords necessary to make purchases in the App Store, or even passwords that we use in our day to day. We don't have to be afraid as the fingerprint is stored inside the device, it will never sync with iCloud not even app developers will be able to have it. The sensor also allows us to store several fingerprints in case we want to share access with someone we trust, or we want to add any of our 9 remaining fingerprints.
As with the iPhone 5c, Apple is back in the case business and they have launched several that makes it the indispensable complement for those who do not want their phone to suffer external damage.
The iPhone 5s will begin to be marketed on September 20 in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom at a price (with a 2-year contract, and always bearing in mind that they are prices from US operators) of $ 199 in its 16GB version, $ 299 in its 32GB version, and $ 399 in its 64GB version.
In Spain we will have it in the Christmas campaign so this year is expected to be one of the star gifts, difficult to find as happened last winter with the iPad Mini. It also remains to see the sales prices in Spain, as well as their conversion to euros.
As advertised is $ 100 more expensive than its version lowcost, iPhone 5cFor this reason, the difference being so little, I think it is worth opting for this model.
PS: It's a shame that with so many leaks and rumors they no longer reveal many surprises in the Keynote's ...

What have lowered the prices? what have you smoked in any case they have risen and too much!
In US prices, the price is not bad even if you tie yourself to a company, in Spain it surely is not like that, but everything remains to be seen. We will cross our fingers that they are somewhat more competitive prices. In any case, match prices, I don't think it has risen either, the 5c's "low cost" price is worse in my opinion.
