Iphone 5s Fingerprint Recognition
Introducing Touch ID โ a new fingerprint identity sensor. What does it mean? You can now place your finger on the Home button and your iPhone will unlock. Instead of entering your password, your fingerprint can approve purchases from iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store – can you say convenient! Touch ID can read your fingerprint at any orientation…whether you are portrait, landscape, upside-down and inside-out…it is capable of 360-degree readability.
Colorful Iphone 5C
The new iPhone 5c will be priced lower than the iPhone 5s and available in green, blue, yellow, pink and white. The iPhone 5c features an A6 chip, ultra-fast wireless, an 8MP iSight camera and iOS 7. Apple has created custom cases with a soft silicone rubber, priced at $29 each providing an additional color option for the already fun colors.
