Some of the expected augmentation upgrades on the new iPhone 5S include a faster A7 CPU, which brings a more commanding GPU. With the latest model, the screen quality can be enhanced in terms of black levels, contrast, and viewing angles. However, resolution issues are also expected. The number of cores that will be used on the new model is still unclear. Even though a great number of manufacturers have used quad-core components, Apple still stuck with the dual-core, simply because the iOS has been quite efficient as the iPhone only needed dual cores to function well. Yet, it still is possible that at the last minute, Apple may have gone for quad-core for the new model.
6. More exciting colors

Inasmuch as the blueprint of the iPhone 5S Apple will remain as it is, the same would not be true on the color options. There have been leaks on the possibility of having a gold tone model. China’s desire for the gold color has probably spawned Apple’s new shade options. iPhone products are doing amazingly great in China. That will be amazingly strange for all of us who have been so used to the clean white shade of Apple products. A champagne case is also in the works. The lush appearance that the new champagne case offers a more serious commercial charm and it could be the blend of hue that the smartphone requires for this amazing product.
5. Fingerprint scanner

There may be two iPhone variants coming out in the launch. Some stores were told to brace for two types of new phones to be delivered a few weeks from now. Both of these phones possess unique features. As long as the differences in the two phones are highlighted, purchasing any of the two would still be financially smart. Apple has always been known for their clever market control ploys and releasing two iPhones at the stores can seriously limit the competition. Would it be new iPhone 5S or iPhone 6?
1. Carrier of Choice

If history is to be followed, Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon will still be the choice carriers considering that Apple had already thanked these companies for their extended support to the phone. People who have signed up with these carriers do not have to be concerned on not being able to have access to the latest iPhone model. U.S. Cellular and telecommunications giant T-Mobile will also most likely get the iPhone 5S Apple during the launch. This is due to T-Mobile’s embracing of the iPhone 5 and U.S. Cellular announcement that it will be supporting an iPhone when 2013 comes.
