Apple iPhone 5S will be released the day after tomorrow, equipped with 64-bit A7 processor

[September 9 news] Apple will hold a press conference at its headquarters in Cupertino, California at 1 a.m. Beijing time on September 11. At 10 a.m. on the same day, Apple will hold a press conference in Beijing, which can basically be regarded as the Chinese version of the global press conference. Next, we will take stock of the new products that may appear at this press conference.

At WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) held in June this year, Apple launched iOS 7 and the new Mac operating system, as well as the new thin and light notebook Macbook Air and workstation Mac Pro, which were basically software-oriented; and at this conference, Apple is very likely to launch two new iPhones, which will be mainly hardware-oriented.

Earlier, there were rumors that the iPhone 5S would be equipped with a 64-bit A7 processor, which is about 31% faster than the A6. Fox News anchor Clayton Morris posted a message on Twitter over the weekend saying that the rumored A7 processor used in the iPhone 5S is about 31% faster than the A6 processor in the iPhone 5. The A6 is a dual-core processor, and the A7 is likely to remain a dual-core processor.

However, one big difference of the A7 is that it may be a 64-bit processor. There have been rumors that some internal prototypes of the iPhone 5S did use a 64-bit processor. It is not clear whether the 64-bit processor will bring a significant performance improvement, and related tests are still ongoing. It is reported that the 64-bit processor will make animations, slideshows and other graphics effects of iOS 7 smoother.

The next generation iPad that Apple is about to release is likely to use the same processor. Taiwan KGI Securities analyst Guo Mingchi recently said that Apple's products are likely to switch to 64-bit processors. If the A7 is not a 64-bit processor, then the A8 will definitely introduce a 64-bit architecture.

In addition, the iPhone may also be launched in gold at this conference. The news confirmed by AllthingsD has made the gold iPhone really enter people's vision. According to AllthingsD, a technology blog under the Wall Street Journal, as previously rumored, Apple will launch a gold version of the iPhone this time. This is also the first time that other colors have been added to the iPhone since its launch in 2007, in addition to black and white.

Last week, media including KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and iMore all predicted a gold iPhone, and even French website MacBoutic exposed a set of photos of the back cover of the allegedly gold iPhone 5S. The confirmation of the news by AllthingsD has greatly increased the authenticity of the rumor. (End)
