The analyst who has so far provided the best information about iDevices not yet released by Apple published yesterday a report in which he describes his predictions about iPhone 5S. According to him, iPhone 5S it will contain a face A7 with ARMv8 processor and 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM (compared to LPDDR2 from iPhone 5), 8 megapixel camera with f2.0 aperture and dual LED flash, 1600 mAh battery (a small change compared to 1440 mAh), storage capacity of 128 GB, and finally there is a gold version that we keep hearing about months.
(1) the new A7, ARMv8 based AP (application processor), featuring a 1GB LPDDR3 RAM chip; (2) a sapphire home button with fingerprint sensor; (3) main camera unchanged with 8MP, but featuring a larger F2.0 aperture with dual flash lights; (4) new option for golden casing; and (5) new option for 128GB storage. We reckon A7 will upgrade memory bandwidth spec to LPDDR3 from LPDDR2 adapted by A6, in an effort to improve system performance. Since Apple is in charge of both hardware and OS design, it is capable of minimizing memory capacity at an optimized state. Therefore, A7's RAM will likely be unchanged at 1GB.
Although iPhone 5S it will also contain 1 GB of RAM, switching to LPDDR3 will significantly improve performance, taking into account the fact that we will have a faster processor. Keeping the same number of megapixels for the camera is a surprising decision, but improving its ability to record pictures does not surprise anyone, especially since we are also talking about the inclusion of a dual LED flash. Saving the battery is again a measure that many expected, but unexpected is the choice of introducing a 128 GB version, but also the launch of a gold model.
On September 10, Apple will officially present iPhone 5S the whole world, and then we will see how much truth there is behind these predictions. In addition to all the information above, Apple would also implement a convex Home button with a fingerprint reader, and yesterday I published some components that seem to confirm this.
