Rumor has it that the iPhone 5S and 5C are not much different and the price may be the same as the iPhone 5

[September 10 news] The specific time of Apple's press conference is 1:00 am Beijing time on September 11. Although Apple plans to make a clear market distinction between the iPhone 5S and 5C, the two phones still have quite a lot in common. Although the final product has not yet been released, information obtained from various channels shows that the difference between them may not be that big.

processor

Of course, it's not like the two products are exactly the same. The 5C, which is expected to replace the iPhone 5 product line, is likely to use this year's A6 processor, while the 5S will use the latest A7 processor, which is rumored to be 30% faster. The A7 processor will be more power-efficient, but the A6 processor may not remain unchanged. Apple has a history of improving older versions of the processor, making them smaller, cheaper, and more power-efficient. So the battery life of both new phones may be improved.

Camera

The 5S will get a huge camera upgrade with a better sensor, while the 5C will likely stick with the iPhone 5's camera, or even a slightly lower spec. The 5C will also likely not have the dual flash and faster lens.

storage

The 5C may have a lower maximum storage capacity, and fewer options. Currently, the iPhone 5 is available in 16, 32, and 64GB versions, and the 5S is expected to add a 128GB version. The 5C may only have 16 and 32GB versions, or even only 16GB. Forget about memory card expansion.

Fingerprint sensor

This new feature, which lets you unlock your phone by placing your finger on the Home button to scan your fingerprint, will improve the phone's security and will be exclusive to the 5S.

price

Currently, the contract price of iPhone 5 in the United States is US$99. If 5C is used to replace iPhone 5, its price will be the same as or lower than that of 5, and it may be a contract price of 0 yuan.

There are rumors that the 4S will continue to exist, but this does not seem logical. The 4S uses a 30-pin interface, but Apple has upgraded it to a Thunderbolt interface on the new iPhone, and the 960 x 640 resolution is also Apple's goal to eliminate it.

Apple designed two iPhones to meet the needs of different markets, so the two iPhones need to be very different. If the difference is not big enough, it may lead to internal competition - 5C did not seize the Android market, but eroded the 5S market. (End)
