Apple introduces the new iPhone 5S

Apple has confirmed the iPhone 5s will come in a gold version as well as grey (black) and silver.


The iPhone 5S measures in at 4.87 inches high, 2.31 inches wide and 0.30 inches deep. It weighs less than 4 ounces -- 3.95 to be exact.

The iPhone 5S will include a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, allowing users to unlock their device with the touch of a finger.

Not only will this be a huge step forward in smartphone protection, it can also be used to make iTunes purchases. Instead of typing in a password every time you buy a song or app, pressing your fingerprint against the scanner will bypass that step.

The iPhone 5S comes with a powerful new processor: the Apple A7. It packs more than 1 billion transistors into a 102mm chip. It can run 64-bit apps (all previous models ran at 32 bits).

The iPhone's camera comes with major improvements, thanks to new sensors that have 15% more area and an f/2.2 aperture. It also comes with a dual-LED flash and new software features, such as filters and a burst mode that snaps 10 still pictures in one second with automatic image stabilization.

Apple is making it easier to group photos and videos based on time and place. It's displayed almost like a mosaic on screen.

Apple also launched a new lineup of iPhone 5 cases in a variety of colors.

The iPhone 5S will go on sale Sept. 20 in nine countries: the United States, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and the UK. Like previous generations, it will come with 16, 32 or 64GB of storage for $199, $299 and $399, respectively — as long as you sign a two-year contract with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint (T-Mobile's installment pricing is somewhat different).
