With the launch of iPhone 5S, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 5 that was rolled out last year and served as the flagship model till now. It will be available in three colours -  gold, white and black.Tim Cook, Chief Executive, Apple, kicked off the event at the company's Cupertino headquarters which also ushered in the pricier iPhone 5S.

Apple claims that the iPhone 5S will be twice as fast for both CPU and graphics and says the new A7 processor housed within includes over a billion transistors -  twice as many as the A6 processor in the iPhone 5, while retaining the same footprint (iOS 7 has apparently been updated to take advantage of the new 64-bit architecture too).

The iPhone 5C, by comparison, includes Apple's older (but still powerful) A6 processor, an 8-mega pixel camera, front-facing FaceTime HD camera
