iPhone 5S - The A7 chipset

The iPhone 5S makes use of a radically re-engineered new chip set, called A7.

Based on 64-bit architecture for the first time, the new iPhone 5S is said to be up to 56 times faster than the original iPhone. iOS 7 is now a 64-bit OS, but it's backward compatible with all the currently available 32-bit apps.

The A7 also supports OpenGL ES 3.0, which opens the door to even higher-quality graphics, allowing for real-time computation of effects such as depth of field, blur, full screen vignettes and lens flares.

The processor is accompanied by the M7, a motion co-processor, which measures motion data continuously from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass, enabling a new generation of sports apps.

The camera also comes with new image stabilization, albeit digital one.

The camera will also captures 720p videos at 120fps, allowing it to create slow-mo videos.
