Security;
Now Phil’s on to protection. Passcodes are the most popular way. “Unfortunately, some people find that too cumbersome and don’t set it up. About half of smartphone customers don’t set up a passcode on their device, and they really should.”
Touch ID is now official on the 5S!
“It reads your fingerprint at an entirely new level.”
The sensor is 170 microns thin, 500 ppi resolution, scans sub-epidermal skin layers and has 360-degree readability.
The sensor is built right into the home button!
Around it is the stainless steel detection ring, so it can detects that your finger is actually on the button, so you don’t have to press it.
“Touch ID has been built deeply into iOS 7.”
“Since it’s built in, you can make itunes purchases by using your finger to authenticate.” No More swipe, just touch the home button!
“It’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.”
Setting it up is easy, and can read multiple fingerprints.
The sapphire crystal acts as a lens; the sensor essentially takes a picture of your fingerprint and analyzes it.
It maps individual details that the eye can’t see. Touch ID uses this to make sure it’s as accurate as possible.
It’s never stored on Apple servers or backed up to iCLoud. That’s great news. “We believe technology is at its best and most empowering when it simply disappears.”
Camera;
The new camera has a 5–element Apple designed lens with f/2.2 aperture. 15 percent larger active sensor area. Bigger pixels make for a better picture. iOS 7 is designed to take advantage of the new camera. It automatically sets white balance, exposure level and creating a dynamic local tone map. It also does an autofocus matrix metering. “It’s DSR, double stuff.” It also picks the sharpest of the series of photos. There’s a new flash called True Tone. The flash solves the problem of clashing color temperatures. There are over 1,000 unique variations. Phil is showing a current pic, where the skin tones don’t look right; the new pic from the 5S makes the skin tones look a lot more natural! It also has auto image stabilization! It appears to be digital stabilization. Burst mode if you hold down the shutter button, up to 10 frames per second, as long as you hold the button down. “This is great for action shots and fidgeting kids.” Thanks to A7, the phone analyzes all of the burst shots and presents which one it thinks will be your pick for best shot.”
You can keep multiple photos from that series of burst shots. Slo-mo is supported as well; 120 fps. It’s capturing HD 720p video at 120 fps and you can go in and select which parts of the video you want in normal speed, and which parts you want in slo-mo.
