With up to\u00a0twice the CPU and graphics performance, almost everything you do on iPhone 5s is faster and better than ever, from launching\u00a0apps and editing photos to playing graphic-intensive games\u2014all while delivering great battery life.

Every iPhone 5s includes the new M7 motion coprocessor that gathers data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass to\u00a0offload work from the A7 for improved power efficiency. Developers can also access new CoreMotion APIs that take advantage\u00a0of M7, so they can create even better fitness and activity apps that go well beyond what other mobile devices offer.

iPhone 5s introduces Touch ID, an innovative way to simply and securely unlock your iPhone with just the touch of a finger.\u00a0Built into the home button, Touch ID uses a laser cut sapphire crystal, together with the capacitive touch sensor, to take a\u00a0high-resolution image of your fingerprint and intelligently analyse it to provide accurate readings from any angle. Setting\u00a0up Touch ID to recognise your fingerprint is easy, and every time you use it, it gets better. The Touch ID sensor recognises\u00a0the touch of a finger so the sensor is only activated when needed, preserving battery life. All fingerprint information is\u00a0encrypted and stored securely in the Secure Enclave inside the A7 chip on the iPhone 5s; it\u2019s never stored on Apple servers\u00a0or backed up to iCloud\u00ae. Touch ID can also be used as a secure way to approve purchases from the iTunes Store\u00ae, App Store or\u00a0iBooks Store?.<\/p>\n
