Watch Apple livestream its iPhone 5S, 5C announcement here

iOS7 re-engineered for 64 apps, but 32bit apps are fine. (Which those of us beta testing knew, since we've been running them :) ).
 
The A7 chip is twice as fast than the A6 and 40x faster than the first iPhone. Graphics have been upgraded to OpenGL ES 3.0.

(Considering I notice no lag at all on my 5, I wonder, for most apps, whether this will be noticeable?)
 
64bit architecture A7 SoC inside the Apple 5S. Apparently a first for smartphones.

We all knew the 5S would come with a processor upgrade. Apparently this is a pretty decent processor upgrade and probably the biggest reason to upgrade. I still think I'll probably hold on to my iPhone 5 and wait for the design change on next years iPhone 6 for my upgrade.
 
There is a separate chip for the accelerometer, compass, other sensors… Called the M7. Geek -talk for me…


Update:
Smarter fitness apps. The new chip lets the iPhone 5S know whether you're walking, running, standing, or maybe doing jumping jacks

Exactly my thoughts. If iOS7 is running on iPhone 4 still I think my iPhone 5 will be able to handle all my apps just fine. The processor is nice but probably overkill for most of the apps we are using today.
 
Camera upgrade: Apple has designed its own 5-element lens system, with f2.2 aperture. The sensor is 15% larger than on prev. iPhone

Dual-LED flash for the iPhone 5S has been confirmed. Their color temperature is different for a truer color balance.

(Impressive, to pull off F2.2, with such a small lens, and 5-elements… interesting… should provide much better low-light photography).
 
The camera sounds interesting, strangely the feed I am following did not specify how many MP the camera images are. I'd assume higher, but bigger sensor does not mandate bigger MP images (i.e. I have a 3/4-size sensor on a Powershow G1X, and it is only 12.1MP; whereas a much smaller sensor on the earlier powershot I had was 14MP).
