First off, yes this is real(not that picture, the iPhone 6), Apple are producing a new "transparent" phone. It's been said that this will help while texting while walking or when you're on the move while on facebook or twitter or instagram!;)
There no need to be a rocket scientist to understand how this works. The back facing camera will give a video feed as to what's in front of you and display in the background of the screen. This doesn't mean you won't be bumping into strangers while on the move:). If you have an android device I have heard that there a certain apps already that allow the same feature of the iPhone 6, so you won't be missing out :D
Even though it’s far away, there are still gentle trickles of information coming through every couple of days. It’s building up a pretty interesting picture and means there will be a good prediction of what Apple will be launching later in the year. One thing that we definitely know of is that it will have a bigger screen as the Samsung S4 mini and the S4 and S5 are alot bigger that Apple's current 5S.
Kuo has published a product roadmap and note to investors based on reasearch into the Asian supply network, revealing the Apple iPhone 6 will be launched late in the third quarter of 2014 as a 4.7-inch model with an "all-new" design. This means bigger screens! This handset will have a 1334x750 pixel resolution at 326 pixels-per-inch (ppi), according to the report. Meanwhile, a larger 5.5-inch variant will arrive in late Q4 with a full HD 1080p resolution at 401ppi. Both devices will feature Apple's A8 processor with 1GB of RAM meaning the phone will be fast and the display tech will give better pictures coulour and faster operations (LTPS LCD). Touch ID Home keys will also be installed so they will be keeping the finger scanner on the new phone along with optical image stabilisation (OIS) for the camera hardware.
So far this can give a good prediction of what can be expected of the iPhone 6, or one of its rumoured names, the iPhone air.

There is one major change on the outside: the home button now sports a ring around it, marking the area for the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Input your prints a few times on set up and it’ll remember them, logging you and only you in. Thankfully, it works flawlessly and quickly: if you lock your phone with a passcode, it’s a useful option to have for convenience’s sake rather than security (after all, it still defaults to a pin when you restart the phone) and it’ll save you minutes every day when you’re unlocking to check email or browse the web. And if you don’t lock your phone? It won’t change a thing.
Whether you’re security conscious or not though, you’ll benefit from the other improvements in the iPhone 5s. Between iOS 7 (which looks and feel fresh, though isn’t without its flaws) and the new A7 processor, it absolutely blazes along, booting up quicker and making lag a thing of the past: games look glorious and they’re only going to get better. Impressively, battery life seems to have been slightly improved despite the faster silicon. With push notifications on and email pumping away at most you can get a day’s use out of it.
The camera, too, is better than ever. The eight megapixel sensor grabs impressive shots in low light, and exemplary ones in daylight. Better still, the live filters in iOS 7 let you give your snaps an Instagram-ish finish before you've even hit the shutter button - you can see how they all look in real-time while you frame your shot. It’s no Nokia Lumia 1020 camera, but with its mesmerising slo-mo video filming mode, the iPhone 5s comes very close.
If you've got an iPhone 5, the 5s will throw few surprises your way. Very few. Too few: it’s identically sized, for one thing, so the screen remains as cramped as ever. While plenty of people prefer displays you can reach across with one finger or thumb, it would be nice for Apple to get with the program and offer a larger variant to take on the new breed of Android phablets. If you were hoping for refreshed hardware that feels new, forget about it: the iOS 7 update for your iPhone 5 gives you an almost identical experience.
That’s about the only issue with the product itself, mind: the iPhone remains a masterful example of mobile engineering. It’s just a pity the iPhone 5s costs so much (£549 for the SIM-free 16GB version, stretching up to an eye-watering £709 for the 64GB).
While the iPhone 5c is so close in price to the 5s that you might as well just stretch the extra fiver a month, the fact remains that both are exorbitantly expensive, especially if you want 4G thrown in. If all you need is a web browser and the ability to play a few games and stream music, there are much cheaper options out there, especially if you’re prepared to venture into Android territory, or even Windows Phone. If you don’t lock your phone today, you don’t need to pay for Touch ID tomorrow.
Oh, also, the gold version is even more horrible in reality than the press images would have you believe: it’s a blingtastic atrocity that looks like a discarded prop from a 2001 rap music video. Avoid at all cost.
The Apple iPhone 5s is the phone people expected, if nothing else. It’s more powerful than ever, with a better battery life, all inside the same slick design. If you’re toting an iPhone 4 at the end of its contract and a truly fantastic camera matters to you above all else, it’s a no-brainer, but if you’re tired of glass and gun metal grey and want a new experience however, the colourful 5c might be the better option.
If you’ve got an iPhone 5 or even a 4S however, it’s not clear the new goodies inside the iPhone 5s outweigh the high price. Certainly, Touch ID on its own is not a killer feature, just a useful extra, and the software is almost identical otherwise, thanks to Apple’s post-sale support. Just don’t buy the gold 5s, whatever you do.
Apple’s big-thinkers have patented a new twist on fingerprint recognition technology, which could see future devices doing away with custom fingerprint readers in favour of having the phone’s display able to scan their owners’ prints.
The patent, which is based around biometric technology designed by Authentec — a company bought by Apple in 2012 — suggests the new sensor tech is small and thin enough to be sandwiched in between a smartphone’s usual layers of display components, meaning holding your thumb on the screen of your next iPhone (or your iPhone after that), may be enough to unlock it.
