Here are the top 10 things that you need to know about Apple's new iPhones.
#10.
The iOS7 will see a much improved version of Siri - it can now draw on information from Twitter, Wikipedia and image searches.
Apple said: “We’ve also made search more convenient than ever before. With iOS7, you can pull down from anywhere and type what you’re looking for and find it, just like that”
#9.
The cheaper handset - the iPhone 5C - comes in five colours: white, green, yellow, blue and red.
Apple said: "The entire back and sides are made from a single part, its front is one glass, multi-touch surface. As close as you look, you wont see joints or seams. This is more colourful than any iPhone we've made yet."
#8.
Not only that, but the iPhone 5C comes with a Connect-4 style case. Each case has holes cut out, allowing a bit of the phone’s original colour to pop through.
Apple said: “The team has created a really cool line of custom cases for the 5C. They’re soft, and cool. The soft, matte texture of the case is a contrast to the bright, glossy back of the phone.”
#7.
Your next iPhone will be as fast as a computer. The iPhone 5S has a brand new chip called the A7, which makes it two times as fast as the iPhone 5.
Apple said: “The iPhone 5S is a huge leap forward in mobile computing performance. It starts with a brand new system on a chip called the A7. A7 is 64-bit, the world’s first and only such CPU in a smartphone.”
#6.
As well as this, the iPhone 5S has a chip called the M7. It's a motion processor, which continuously measures motion data, accelerometer, and gestural data.
Apple have been working with Nike to test this, building an app that counts your stride and movements throughout the day. It can determine whether you’re walking or driving.
Apple sees this opening a “whole new generation of health and fitness applications”.
#5.
The battery life of the iPhone 5S is “even better than that of the iPhone 5".
It survives 10 hours of constant Wi-Fi browsing, and a whopping 250 hours on standby.
#4.
Apple have made serious upgrades on the iPhone 5S's camera. The flash now has two LEDs — one white, and one amber.
This means it analyses the lighting in the room, adjusting the color of the flash accordingly. Your photos should be of the highest quality, no matter what the light.
#3.
There is a brand new fingerprint sensor called the Touch ID.
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor is located on the home button, reading your fingerprint as a more secure way to protect your phone.
Apple say: “Now you can simply touch the home button to unlock your phone. Since it’s built in, you can also use it to make iTunes purchases.
"It reads your fingerprint at an incredibly detailed level. The sensor is thinner than a human hair"
#2.
The iPhone 5S rumours were spot on - the handset is coming out in a subtle gold shade, alongside the usual slate-grey and white.
Apple say: “This is our most forward thinking phone yet. It’s available in silver, gold, and space grey.”
#1.
And finally, the release dates. iOS7 is coming out on September 18, while both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are coming out on September 20.
