Apple has revealed two new versions of the iPhone at an event in California, United States.
The iPhone 5S introduces a fingerprint sensor that lets you unlock the phone without entering a password. But a hacking group have managed to workout a specific sequence of lock-screen buttons to bypass the fingerprint system, so my advice is, if you have one, keep the fingerprint system but put a password as well.
The iPhone 5C is designed to be a 'cheaper' version and has a body made of colourful plastic, instead of metal and glass.
The cheaper iPhone could help Apple compete with less expensive handsets by companies like Samsung and Nokia.
Apple hasn't been selling as many phones as other companies recently. More people are choosing Android smartphones that have similar features but cost less.
More than half of all smartphones sold so far this year were Android handsets - only about 28% were iPhones while 9% were BlackBerry smartphones.
But with a price tag of £469 the 'cheaper' iPhone 5C is still more than twice as expensive as the Google Nexus 4 - an Android smartphone with comparable features.
There is also the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini for people who think the S4 is too big but still want one.
Both these phones are more than adequate to compete with the rest of the phones in the market. The stats above they show how android has rocketed past all the other handsets in terms of sales and are more popular than ever. I will hopefully be doing a separate post about these two phones soon so stay tuned!
I hope you enjoyed this or found it useful.
