The iPhone 5C has retained most of the features available in the iPhone 5. It comes with a 4 inch retina display and an 8 megapixel camera.

The higher end iPhone 5S come with same 4 inch display and 8 megapixel camera. But the camera has got a higher picture resolution. The new camera also features a dual flash, which Apple calls True Tone. The flash fires two bursts of lights at once, each slightly different in colour. The iPhone will adjust the combination of the two automatically to bring out more natural skin tones and other colors in images. The 5S run on a faster, 64-bit processor - apple A7, which the company claims is the only mobile phone to have a 64 bit processor.

One of the most anticipated feature on the 5S was its fingerprint reader. The phone comes with a fingerprint-recognition system that lets you easily unlock phones without having to type the PIN to unlock.
