Several rumors involving future iPhones are popping up there, something normal since very soon (September 10) Apple should hold an event to present the new device – or who knows the new ones, since this year we can see the arrival of “ iPhone 5S ”(replacement for iPhone 5) and“ iPhone 5C ”(much speculated as the“ low-cost iPhone ”).
However, it is necessary to take into account the source of these leaks before disclosing this information. The anticipation that precedes an Apple event is always high and one thing we definitely don’t need is to wait for things that we most likely won’t see. So, a lot of time in this calm! ?
Sources are telling me the new iPhone’s A7 chip is running at about 31% faster than A6. I’m hearing it’s very fast.

I’ve also heard there’s a separate chip devoted to motion tracking. Should be an interesting camera upgrade.

“I also heard that there is a separate sensor dedicated to tracking motion. It should be an interesting camera upgrade.”
Clayton Morris, for example, is not just anybody and has a reputation to watch over, after all, the guy is the anchor of FOX. So he wouldn’t open his mouth to say something like that if it hadn’t come from reliable sources, I imagine.
The A6 is a processor dual-core and a lot of people are betting that the A7 will continue with two cores. What would be the reasons for this 31% gain, then? According to Mark Gurman, from 9to5Mac, the A7 could be the first 64-bit chip designed to iGadgets. Of course it is very difficult to say such a thing, but Gurman said that some prototypes of the iPhone 5S ran with a 64-bit processor.
If this is indeed confirmed, we can expect animations, transparencies and any graphical interactions running much smoother on the future iPhone than on any already released – and taking into account the changes of iOS 7, the novelty would be very welcome. Some (like the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo) believe that 64-bit chips will reach iGadgets, but not now but in 2014, who knows with the A8 processor – according to him, these prototypes of “iPhones 5S” (and iPhone 5, too) which use the A7 chip would be just to leave the ground prepared for the future .
As for the motion tracking sensor, if it is hot it may have something to do with the news expected as slow motion footage (with 120 frames per second). Who knows, this sensor would not help in calculating the stabilization of the device so that the footage does not come out shaky, for example? Or some connection with the detection of smiles, looks, among other things.
As I said, although Morris does not appear to be anyone just looking for attention and throwing rumors into the air, it is good to digest this information with caution and not to raise expectations too much for 9/10. ?
