Apple iPhone 5S Specs & Features Rumor Round-Up

dgstorm · Sep 10, 2013

The next big Apple iPhone reveal is in just a few hours, so we decided here at HQ that it would be cool to share a breakdown roundup of the rumored specs and features of the next-gen iPhone 5S. Here's a quick-list of everything that has been potentially "spoiled" thus far:

Fingerprint scanner - possibly built inside a new "sapphire" home key (sapphire will supposedly be more secure - it also happens to be tougher than glass)
Apple A7 chip with 1GB of RAM - dual-core 32nm chip made by Samsung using the Higk-K Metal Gate technology - higher clock speed of 1.5GHz - quad-core PowerVR SGX 544MP4 graphics - 1GB amount of LPDDR3-1333 RAM - higher memory bandwidth from 8.5GB/s to 10.7GB/s.
12-megapixel camera with dual LED flash - wider f/2.0 aperture for better low-light performance - built-in improved HDR shooting modes - 2-megapixel shooter for the front which is an upgrade over the 1.2MP currently
Gold/champagne colored casing option as well as the white and black
Potentially a 128GB storage version as well as the usual 32GB and 64GB versions
NFC - Near-field communications - this one has been rumored for the last two iPhones, so we are really expecting it this time

That's the gist of the "rumint." Very shortly, we will know everything for sure. Which one of these "leaked" features are you most excited about if it turns out to be true?
