The iPhone 5s - a new 'gold standard'

Apple’s latest flagship device offers 64-bit processing, a fingerprint scanner, and a new chip specifically for motion and fitness tracking.

Described by Apple during its specially convened launch event on Tuesday as "the world’s first and only 64-bit smartphone” thanks to its all-new A7 processor, the iPhone 5s is, in Phil Schiller’s words “the gold standard." And the company’s head of marketing intended the pun as the new diamond chamfered handset will be available in Gold, Silver and “space grey.”
