Goldgenie’s 24 CT Gold iPhone 5S Elite available for pre-order now.<\/p><\/div>\n

Let\u2019s face it: we\u2019ve all been waiting with a little baited breath. Smartphone extraordinaires, masters of design and one of Goldgenie\u2019s favourite partners, Apple is more than a little bit special, and any event they throw is a big deal. So as we gathered round to watch the live stream last night, to say we were keen to see what\u2019s next \u2013 well, that would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The main focus of the event was on the launch of the brand new iPhone 5S and its mid-range sidekick iPhone 5C. And yes, we\u2019re pleased to say after much speculation that Apple has launched the Gold iPhone 5S! (Gold coloured that is \u2013 if you want the real thing you\u2019ll have to come to us.) The iPhone 5S key features are:<\/p>\n

 
\n\u2022 Hugely swifter browsing and processing speeds: An incredibly sophisticated processor \u2013 a 64-bit A7 Processor, to be exact (a world first for a smartphone). Not to mention more than 1 billion transistors, 100 square mm die, 2x floating points registers and 2x general purpose registers. In other words, it\u2019s fast. In fact, Apple says the processor is twice as swift as that of the iPhone 5, and a massive 56 times as fast as the first iPhone.
\n 
\n\u2022 Incredible new motion monitoring: A brand new \u2018M7\u2019 Processor continuously monitors motion, facilitating all sorts of benefits including an entirely \u201cnew generation of health and fitness apps\u201d such as Nike\u2019s \u2018Nike+ Move\u2019.
\n 
\n\u2022 Enhanced security with \u2018Touch ID\u2019 fingerprint recognition: Now there\u2019s no need to worry about bothering with passcodes. The new Touch ID stores your unique fingerprint information so one swipe from you in any direction unlocks your phone. You can even purchase from the iTunes store, quite literally through your fingertips. And since there is no fingerprint back-up on any central database, you don\u2019t have to worry about identity theft.
\n 
\n\u2022 Better battery life: The new battery gives you 250 hours standby and 10 hours 3G talk time.
\n 
\n\u2022 Brand new camera that\u2019s better in the dark: The new camera boasts a 15% bigger active sensor area; an f\/2.2 aperture; sophisticated, updated software to enable better pictures and a \u2018True Tone\u2019 flash to bring nights out to life.
\n 
\n\u2022 Sophisticated video capture: You can enjoy up to 120 FPS video recording with the new Slo-mo camera.
\n <\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s chief of design, Sir Jony Ive, said: \u201cIt’s not just rampant tech for tech’s sake. Every component and process has been considered and measured to make sure it’s truly useful and enhances the user experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new iPhone 5S is available in 3 colours: black, \u201cspace grey\u201d and gold\/white and silver\/white.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also announced was the launch of the iPhone 5C, a new mid-range handset in a range of plastic casing colours, offering users specs along the lines of the previous generation iPhone 5, for a lower cost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other Apple news included:<\/p>\n

 
\n\u2022 All new iOS powered devices come with iWork free as standard
\n 
\n\u2022 Epic Games\u2019 Infinity Blade 3 is set to be released, with an iPhone 5S specially designed 64 bit version.
\n 
\n\u2022 The iOS 7 operating system will be free for the iPhone 4 and beyond, iPad 2 and beyond, and the iPod Touch beginning with 5th generation. It is set to be released on 18th September.
\n <\/p>\n

So, more about refinement than reinventing the wheel for its own sake, here at Goldgenie, we approve. Faster, safer, slicker, but with that iPhone charm as standard. Who wants to mess up a good thing?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can pre-order the 24 CT Gold iPhone 5S Elite<\/a> now. We will be making official announcements regarding the the rest of the 2013\/14 Goldgenie iPhone 5S lineup this week.<\/p>\n
