iPhone 5S/6 Fall 2013 Predictions

Posted:
in Future Apple Hardware edited January 2014


PowerVR SGX543MP3's successor new Imagination Technologies Power VR 6 Series "Rogue" GPU on an A7 Dual Core CPU running on 800 to 1200 MHZ based on a 32nm or lesser architecture. Reports claim a new 20nm process with TSMC however I would bet on a 28nm architecture based on the fact that the iPad 2 Rev A used a 28nm architecture on it's processor. A lower nm processing will boost battery life by up to 30% as it did from 32nm to 28nm on the iPad 2 Rev A.


 


Rogue Series is considered the fastest performing GPU on the market today and was introduced at CES 2012. PowerVR Series6 GPUs can deliver 20x or more of the performance of current generation GPU cores targeting comparable markets. This is enabled by an architecture that is around 5x more efficient than previous generations.


 


Same design as the iPhone 5 with internal spec mods.


 


Better battery life, up to 12 Hours or even higher. Expected battery life to last longer than a week and charge in seconds using super capacitors and new processing methods in future versions of iPhones, however we are not there yet so don't expect this until the iPhone 8 or 9.


 


New dual led yellow and white flash for camera to take even better low light photographs/ I wish they would work for video as well.


 


iOS 7


 


An IGZO display running at the same resolution as the last... 1136x640, which conserves battery life by 40% or if rumors and leaked screens are fake, a larger display... however I find that unlikely.


 


50% less power hungry LTE chips by Qualcomm rumored using LTE-A for bandwidth speeds of up to 150 MBPS.


 


Gorilla Glass 3 front, possible to come in colors on iPhone 5C Model, production will start shortly..




Wifi AC - Someone should look into iOS 7 source code to verify this or wait for new beta's to come out.


 


8 MP rear camera


 


2 GB of RAM


 


Even lighter than the iPhone 5


 


Here is a leaked unibody housing of the supposedly new colorful iPhone with less powerful specs than the 5S/6.

    Gold anodized aluminum housing on one model, Gorilla Glass 3 front, possible to come in colors if rumors are true.

    Those colors were from a third party custom case website.

    The 'Rogue' gpu is going to kick some serious ass going forwards.


     


    That's Apple's 'ATV' console entry right there.


     


    Rogue iPhone and ATV3 is a nice 'casual mainstream' gamer console.


     


    Once you get that kind of gpu power into iPads and iPhones...and an ATV with an SDK/App store going down...


     


    What is it?  1 teraflops for the Rogue in some core counts?


     


    That's surely not true?


     


    With that kind of power...the next A8 and A9 processors are going to seem astonishing...  (Remember the power we used to crave in G5 towers?)

    Yeah, some guy posted about it being on the iPhone 5 on here last year, but instead they went with a PowerVR 5 series because it wasn't ready for production when it was showcased.

    It's actually pretty cool we can now have PS3 equivalent graphics on the next iPhone and so on.
