Today was the day for Apple's big announcement. They unveiled their two new phones, the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C. As predicted by some rumors, it appears as though Apple will no longer sell their iPhone 5 models. They will offer the iPhone 5S starting at $199, the iPhone 5C starting at $99, and the iPhone 4S at $0.

It seems as though the rumors discussed in my blog post last week were accurate. Click here to read last week's post. It is interesting to note, however, that the iPhone 5C will be available for pre-order on Friday, September 13th, but the iPhone 5S does not have a pre-order date at all. Instead, customers are directed to place orders on the actual release date of Friday, September 20th, or they can purchase in stores starting at 8AM that morning.

The iPhone 5S, while retaining the physical design of the iPhone 5, should have other substantial upgrades. According to an article from Mirror News, the new model of iPhone should have a faster A7 processor compared to the A6 processor in the iPhone 5. The article claims that the A7 is 31% faster than the current version.

As well as a new processor, the iPhone 5S is rumored to have a Retina+ Sharp IGZO display. It should also include a 13MP camera with a dual LED flash which will increase performance with low-light photography. The new model should also be available in a new color or two, champagne and possibly graphite.

The article on Mirror News also describes a chip in the new iPhone 5S that could be related to motion tracking. The new chip could track user's eye movement while using their iPhones. For example, if they look away from the display, the screen light may dim.

The iPhone 5C will be a cheaper, more affordable version of the iPhone. This model should have a plastic casing that helps cut down on costs. Also, this model is rumored to be available in a variety of colors, including pink, blue, and yellow.

The official announcement from Apple can be expected next Tuesday. Rumors then put the release of the new iPhones on the following Friday, September 20, 2013. Be sure to click on the link below to read the article from Mirror News.
