Apple iPhone 5S Image Got Leaked Again Showing Fingerprint Scanner Function

It’s been confirmed that Apple’s iPhone 5S would be officially announced on September 10th. The new smartphone would be available in different colors and have a cheaper model to meet low-end market. The specs of Apple iPhone 5S are also reported frequently online, one of which is about the Fingerprint Scanner. If you weren't already convinced that Apple's next iPhone could come with a fingerprint scanner, a newly leaked set of photos could change your mind. Images of what claims to be the internal components of Apple's iPhone 5S have appeared online, hinting that a fingerprint scanner could sit right near the home button.

French blog Nowhereelse.fr, which has been known to leak components for unreleased Apple products in the past, has published images that show the internal components of the alleged iPhone 5S. The photo set compares Apple's next iPhone alongside the current generation iPhone, outlining the key differences between the two handsets. One pair of images depicts a redesigned metal spacer cushion near the home button that features a new cut out for additional components. This has sparked speculation that a fingerprint scanner could be placed in this area, although there's no way to know for sure until Apple makes the announcement.

Smartphone duel – Apple iPhone 5S vs. Samsung Galaxy S IV in phone design, screen display and CPU

Without any question, the upcoming Apple iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S IV would be the top popular smartphones in the world. Also, there’s no need to say what severe battle it would be between these two smartphones. We can predict that both smartphones would feature exciting functions and breakouts when out, though we still have got very few detailed information about the specs of these two phones. In this post, I would like to make a brief comparison between Apple iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S IV. As the detailed specs of both phones are still to be seen, the comparison would only focus on several parts: phone design, screen display and phone CPU.

Apple iPhone 5S vs. Samsung Galaxy S IV – design

The iPhone 5S has been reportedly most similar to its previous brother, the iPhone 5, with very little changes. The reports go that the iPhone 5S would come with glass front, a 4 inch screen and an aluminum body form the bulk of the design. The Samsung Galaxy S IV would come with some new aesthetic changes in phone design. Though the plastic battery cover and the slim body design would arouse some complaints, the phone would be protected well. The Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a decidedly less curvy facade and this means that it will be able to use more of its space than the previous model.

Apple iPhone 5S vs. Samsung Galaxy S IV – screen display

As usual, the screen trajectory continues with the new Samsung Galaxy S4. This means that the pixel resolution on the new model will be significantly larger and there is a larger screen to boot too. Samsung Galaxy S IV would reportedly sport a 4.99" full HD (1920x1080) Super AMOLED screen display. The screen display is reportedly to be possible flexible which means that the phone will be  tougher. Without doubt, the bigger screen size and the higher number of pixels deliver satisfactory visual effect for people to watch HD movies on Galaxy S IV.

On the other side, Apple is reportedly to feature the IGZO panel technology on the iPhone 5S. The IGZO panel used by Apple will be from the brainworks of Sharp and will help the company achieve better performance at reduced power consumption. The IGZO tech uses a unique screen refresh technique that only refreshes the screen when anything is moving inside it, and the screen does not refresh for static images, thus saving on power. The screen will refresh at a default rate of 60Hz.

Apple iPhone 5S vs. Samsung Galaxy S IV – CPU

The Samsung Galaxy S IV is reportedly to take 8-core Exynos 5 Octa SoC processor. The catch here is that out of the 8 cores, 4 have their engines running at peak rpm and the remaining cores are designed to work for the more home purpose and silent applications. The extreme four cores comprise of the Cortex-A15s running at 1.8GHz, while the silent cores are Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1.2GHz. This simply means that the S4 guns for efficiency.

For those addicted to the power of their smartphones hitting the roof, and think they will be disappointed with the half hearted fury of the S4’s CPU, the GPU has a surprise for them, and the Mali-T658 will be the GPU. ARM states that this’ll offer 10x the power of the current-gen Mali-400 chipset.

As for the iPhone 5S, the iPhone will potentially have a 2 core CPU and a 4 core GPU. Of course, these numbers don’t amount to much when compared to the double 8 figures of the Samsung Galaxy S4’s CPU/GPU combo. But Apple is all set to introduce a slew of top end games for the iPhone. The competition is not out yet.

Foxconn reportedly to have started the production of Apple 'iPhone 5S' as the current iPhone 5

The rumors and reports about the so-called iPhone 5S, the next Apple iPhone, have been a big hit in the world. Various kinds of bloggers, analysts and sources are reporting the information they have got about the next iPhone. But all these are to be confirmed. Very recently, another report about the next iPhone has been available for all anticipators. That’s the Japanese Apple blog MacOtakara reported that Foxconn is starting to ramp up production of Apple's iPhone 5 successor, by citing a source familiar with the matter.

The site noted that because the design of the "iPhone 5S" is substantially the same as the company's existing handset. Thus it is quite convenient to manufacture the two models on the same production lines. In a note to investors in January, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek estimated that production of the next-generation iPhone would begin in March ahead of a launch expected in either June or July. He also predicted that Apple will be launching a second smartphone alongside the 5S, possibly a much-rumored low-cost version targeted at developing markets. This is quite similar to the latest rumor that Apple would release an iPhone 5S with A7 chip and fingerprint security and a cheaperfiberglass model in June.

As rumored, the iPhone 5S will sport A7 Chip, iOS 7 and Super HD Camera, a fingerprint reader, swype keyboard and a 128GB storage as the biggest drive available. There might be 6-8 different color options for the new iPhone 5S. The phone body might be thinner with larger screen of 4.5/5 inches.

Apple to release iPhone 5S in August and new iPad and the next iPad mini in April

According to the latest news from iMore, Apple might release the next iPhone, mostly named iPhone 5S, in this summer, August preferred. Also, right before the official release of iPhone 5S, Apple is preparing an April event to announce its next generation iPad, presumably the iPad 5, and the potentially iPad mini 2. iMore claims these sources are from people who are familiar with Apple’s plans.

As reported, the iPhone 5S will likely be a spec upgrade on its predecessor, with improved camera optics and a more advanced processor anticipated. If the rumors are accurate, consumers can expect a better camera housed inside the same design as the iPhone 5 as well as incremental improvements on the goods under the hood.

Apple just launched the iPad 4 and the first iPad Mini last November. If the report turns to be true, Apple has made a very quick turnaround of iPad product line. Though there appeared some leaked pictures of the iPad 5, the iPad 5 detailed specs is still not quite clear. So is the next generation of iPad mini. But what seems unlikely is that Retina will be included in the next gen model.

For more details, stay tuned. I would get more detailed information on the next generation of iPad, iPhone and iPad mini.
