iPhone 5S Will Support full HD FaceTime Calls Over 4G

With iPhone 5S release date being a mystery, with some sources saying we will see it in flesh soon after WWDC 2013 event, while other claiming that the iPhone 5S release date was set for early fall, we come with fresh details about a new feature that will be included in iOS 7-powered smartphone.

Last month we’ve exclusively told you that the iPhone 5S will come with Dual-shot camera functionality and that the new smartphone will receive a full HD front-facing 2 MP camera. An Apple insider provided the information for us, but in the meantime, Omnivision officially announced a 2 megapixel full HD camera that will most likely be fitted on the front panel of the iPhone 5S, confirming that our source was accurate.

Anyway, we heard again from our Apple insider and he revealed to us that Apple has even more goodies for us. According to him, the iPhone 5S will be capable of FaceTime full HD video calls over 4G LTE networks, and that the new feature will be an integral part of iOS 7. Of course, the iPhone 5S will be the only Apple device that will support full HD FaceTime calls over, as it will be the only one in the line-up to have a camera with 1080p capabilities.

As you probably know, the rumor mill is indicating that the iOS 7 will be the the biggest upgrade in terms of user interface since the debut of Apple’s mobile operating system in 2007. The new iOS iteration will reportedly ditch the skeuomorphism in favor of a very flat user interface, but it seems that it will be more about the iOS 7 than a revised interface.

Since the iOS 7 will come with support for full HD FaceTime calls, we should also expect some other Apple products too arrive with 2 megapixel cameras with 1080p video recording capabilities and the iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5 will be next in line to receive a better user-facing camera.
