Apple iPhone 5c comes with the first of its kind 64 Bit A7 processor which many have discarded as marketing Gimmick. This new 64 bit chipset is based on ARMv8 architecture instead of the age old ARMv7 architecture which we have seen in 32 bit devices. The 64 bit chipset is essentially required when you have to address more than 4GB of RAM, but it also features new design architecture for better power optimization. Yes the full advantage of this 64 bit processor can be availed only when more apps are 64 bit compatible, but it will be a step in the right direction. A M7 motion coprocessor is also present in this phone, which gathers motion data from sensor so that the power hungry CPU doesn’t have to do it. Apple claims that this phone is up to 40x faster when it comes to data processing, and up to 56x faster when it’s graphics we’re talking about, compared to the first gen iPhone released in 2007. The Phone comes with 4 inch Retina display and latest iOS 7 operating system and will give you battery backup of around 10 hours similar to what we have seen in other iPhones. The Touch ID, fingerprint scanner, lets you unlock the screen by touching your finger. It can read your finger print with 360 degree precision and you don’t have to worry about the orientation of your finger. You can also store the fingerprints of other trusted people to grant them access to your phone
