At the presentation in Cupertino, Apple introduced as many as two new smartphones.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, started the event with sales.
According to him, by the end of September, the company plans to sell 700 million iOS devices. Recall that in June 2013, this figure crossed the 600 million mark.
Apple is confident that many users will quickly switch to iOS 7. And they have every reason to do so. According to Chitika, 1% of American iOS users have already switched to the new version.
The final version of iOS 7 will not be released today, but only on September 18.
Recall that it will support the devices in the picture below.
According to Cook, the last year was the most successful in the history of the iPhone.
And this year the company is introducing as many as two new iPhones.
iPhone 5CFirstly, the iPhone 5C, which will be distributed in five colors (green, white, blue, red and yellow), although the front panel is all black.
The case of the devices will not be made of iron, but made of polycarbonate (in appearance, the new devices are very thick).
4-inch screen, A6 chip, 8 MP camera. In general, almost a complete copy of last year’s model.
The price in the USA will start at $99 (16 GB version). So until tonight, the 16 GB version of the iPhone 4S cost. It can be assumed that in Russia the cost of the new device will also be at the level of this device.
We have now gone to Yandex.Market. On it, the price of the iPhone 4 starts from 16 thousand rubles. Perhaps the price of the iPhone 5C will be around this level (at least in the gray market).
iPhone 5S
It will be distributed in three colors: graphite, silver and gold.
But in fact, each case will be made of aluminum.
This device will work on a new chip – A7. It is 64-bit. In fact, it turns out that the iPhone 5S is the first mobile gadget running on a 64-bit processor.
iOS 7 was originally created with a 64-bit architecture in mind. The iPhone 5S is several times more powerful than the iPhone 5.
Also, the new device has support for OpenGL|ES 3.0, as in the new Nexus 7.
A couple more important chips:
- a new powerful camera with an aperture number of 2.2 (technically, this means that the camera needs less light for a clear frame)
- finger scanner on the main button of the device
The price of the device will start at $199 when you sign a two-year contract (there is no 128 GB version).
Both models will be available starting from September 20.
It is now impossible to buy a “five”, only a four.
