2 main information

IPhone 5s is equipped with a 4-inch screen with 1 136x640 pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel camera, an A7 processor and a brand-new iOS 7. In terms of storage space, the iPhone 5s will include 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions.

Compared with the previous generation iPhone 5, the biggest change of iPhone 5s is A7 processor +M7 motion coprocessor, and the CPU/GPU performance is twice as fast as A6 of iPhone 5. In terms of GPU, A7 integrates quad-core PowerVR G6430, and A7 is also the first CPU to integrate this core, supporting OPENGL 3.0. In terms of network compatibility, some versions support TD-LTE. [ 1]

camera

The iPhone 5s is still equipped with an 8 megapixel camera with an aperture of f2.2 and dual LED flash. The area of the sensor is increased by 15% compared with the previous iPhone 5, and the area of a single effective pixel is1.5 μ m. It can take photos with a resolution of 3264x2448, and the iPhone 5s also supports panoramic shooting, with panoramic photos reaching 28 million pixels. The camera of the iphone 5s also supports shooting 1080P video and slow-motion video. [4]

Appearance characteristics

Different from the previous carbon/black and white/silver designs of the iPhone, in addition to the various colors of the iPhone 5c, the iPhone 5s is also equipped with gold and dark gray versions other than silvery white, and the black version equipped on the iPhone 5 is cancelled, which enriches our choice of the iPhone. Moreover, the metal frame is designed with metal primary color grinding, which is more durable and wear-resistant like borecite, avoiding the trouble of paint falling off the frame.

Home key

The obvious change in the front of the fuselage lies in the position of the Home button, and the small square in the middle is removed, so the whole appearance is very flat. At the same time, the Home button also adds fingerprint recognition function, and the material is also made of solid sapphire design. There is an induction halo outside the Home button, which can be used to prompt the process of fingerprint recognition.

Home key [7]

With the iPhone 5s equipped with a fingerprint sensor, a newly designed Home button came. Around the Home button, Apple placed a metal border. Through the documents in the patent, we can get a general understanding of the working principle of this new design.

The metal ring around the new Home key is capacitive. When the user's finger touches the Home button, the metal ring will be activated and the charge will change. If there is no pressing action, the sensor will start immediately.

A7 central processing unit

A7 is the world's first ARM-based 64-bit processor for smart phones, using 28 nm HKMG technology. The performance of CPU/GPU is 2 times faster than A6 of iPhone 5, 40 times that of the original iPhone, and 56 times that of the original iPhone [8].

GPU A7 integrates quad-core PowerVR G6430, and A7 is also the first CPU to integrate this core [9].

The performance of PowerVR G6430 reaches 1TFLOPS, and that of the previous generation host PS3 GPU is 1.8TFLOPS[ 10].

AnandTech CEO:Anand Lal Shimpi said: Dual-core A7 is the fastest system on chip in Sun Spyder, even surpassing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 [11].

Equipped with coprocessor M7

Iphone5sA7 processor

Apple also added a coprocessor M7 to the A7 processor, which is actually an NXP LPC 18A 1 based on ARM Cortex-M3.

A member of LPC 1800 series developed on this basis is specially used to process three kinds of data from gravity accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. Before the introduction of IPhone5S, these data were all processed by CPU, which led to the increase of CPU frequency and made it impossible to collect data all the time. However, if it is handed over to M7 with low frequency, data can be collected when the CPU is asleep (that is, when the screen is closed) to judge the current motion state. It can judge whether you have been walking, driving or sleeping, according to. [ 12]

battery life

Because the iPhone 5s uses the A7 processor and the M7 motion coprocessor, it saves more power than the iPhone 5 in some cases. At the same time, the iPhone 5s is also equipped with a 1560mAh battery. According to the official description, the standby time has increased from 225 hours to 250 hours.

3 network parameters

Support network

According to the specification list of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c of Hong Kong Apple official website, both new iPhones support TD-LTE4G network of China Mobile (5s model is A 1530 and 5c model is A 1529). [ 13]

IPhone 5s mainland apple official website only listed A 1528 and A 1533. However, official website listed four models: A 1453, A 1533, A 1457 and A 1530 (supporting TD-LTE).

4G network

Previously, China Telecom launched the iPhone 4s two months later than the Unicom version, and synchronized with the Unicom version when it launched the iPhone 5. This is definitely the first operator to list iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on the mainland. As for the standard of the next-generation iPhone launched by China Telecom, industry speculation may be the same as that of the iPhone 5. At the same time, according to insiders, the telecom version of the system can be upgraded to support 4G networks at any time. [ 1

2 appearance design

Martin Hajek, a well-known Dutch designer, has designed many Apple concept products before, and this time he brought us new concept renderings of iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C and iPad 5. Although these renderings are only made by designers according to the information currently exposed, they may not be much different from the styles when they are officially released in the future. The appearance follows the design of iPhone 5, mainly because the material of the back cover has changed. For example, with Brensity, it is said that apples will use polycarbonate.

Three new renderings

Judging from the renderings released by Martin Hayek this time, these three new products of Apple are not much different from the previously exposed photos. Among them, the design of iPhone 5S is almost the same as that of iPhone 5, but it is equipped with an 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash. The iPhone 5C will also use a 4-inch touch screen and a plastic case. As for the iPad 5, it has the same narrow bezel design as the Apple iPad mini.

6 product analysis

Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Investment Bank, said in an investment report published on Monday local time that Apple's upcoming cheap iPhone 5C[3] may not support Siri voice assistant function, thus replacing the previous iPhone 4S and becoming a low-end model in the iPhone series.

As Apple's low-end mobile phone product, the cheap version of iPhone 5C can't be supported.

iphone 5c

Hold Siri voice assistant function. Gene Munster said that Siri was released on 20 12, and previous versions such as iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS definitely supported this feature.

Gene Munster said that he thought the release date of the iPhone 5C should be 2065438+September 2003, and the average selling price was about 200 US dollars (about 1600 yuan RMB). At the same time, he also pointed out that it is actually the wisest choice for Apple to give up the previous iPhone 4S and use the latest iPhone 5C as the low-end model of the iPhone series, and combine it with the iPhone 5 and the next generation iPhone.

IPhone5s will be equipped with fingerprint sensor and support fingerprint identification technology to unlock, but he doesn't think the mobile payment function will be fingerprinted immediately when the new iPhone is launched. On the contrary, this function officially landed on the iPhone and has joined the latest version of the iOS system released on 20 13. At the same time, he also believes that the new cheap version of the iPhone 5C will take away about 37% of the high-end iPhone market share. It seems that this ratio is quite high, but it is much lower than his previous forecast of 50%.

Gene Munster predicted the product situation of Apple in 20 14, and said that the release time of iPhone 6 will be in the first half of 20 14, and there will be a large display screen of 5 inches to 7 inches. [4]

7 price forecast

As for how Apple sets the future sales price for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, an expert who asked not to be named said: If Apple stops production of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, that is, iPhone 5C will replace iPhone 4S, then according to Apple's past data and average sales price, the future price of iPhone 5S will be around 660 dollars. However, the price of iphone5c in China market is much higher than that in the United States.

However, the pricing of the iPhone 5C is due to a high degree of uncertainty. The price of iPhone 5C is around $300, which is a relatively low-end product in the future Apple product lineup. According to Apple official website, the contract machine of iphone5c costs 99 dollars (600 RMB), and the non-contract machine costs 549 dollars (3,300 RMB).

Although Apple's iPhone 5C has not been officially released, various businesses have begun to take the opportunity to speculate. After Weibo, the official customer service of Beijing Telecom, announced that the iPhone5C had started to be booked, another person familiar with the matter broke the news in Weibo. According to the internal notice of Dixintong Store, the telecom version of the iPhone5C will be listed in the China market, and the expected arrival time is September 25th, with five colors: white, yellow, blue, green and pink.
