At a long expected event at the company's Cupertino headquarters today, Apple announced two new versions of its smartphone - the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.

The 5S resembles the iPhone 5, but comes in new color finishes: silver, gold and "space gray." (There's no more "black" iPhone, though the gray one has a black face.) The 5S features a 64-bit chip, the A7, that makes it 40 times faster than the original iPhone, released in 2007. It will start at $199 (and sell up to $399) with a two- year contract, and will be available on Sept. 20.

The 5S has an integrated fingerprint scanner called the Touch ID, which can log you into your phone without a password, and also lets you make purchases in iTunes and provide your password in supported applications with the touch of your finger.

The cheaper iPhone 5C comes in five colors, and will sell at a starting price of $99 in the U.S. (with a two-year cellular plan). It's made of a hard-coated polycarbonate material, with a new rigid metal structure. It runs the A6 chip, with a slightly larger battery than the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 5C has an 8-megapixel camera. An improved front-side camera has improved low-light performance. The 5C has more bands for high-speed LTE wireless than any other phone, according to Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller.
