This Hidden Code Suggests iPhone 5S Could Record Video At 120FPS

The next thing we are waiting for Apple to reveal is its next generation iPhone which said to be called iPhone 5S.. Until this day we don’t know a lot of useful information about how it will look like and what colors it will be available.. It’s believed to be an ‘S’ model, with a faster processor and other upgraded internals. Outside of that, however, we literally know nothing about the handset.

The iPhone 5S will surely offer at least one ‘stand-out’ feature. The 3GS had video recording, for example, and the 4S added Siri. So what will the 5S’ killer feature be? A new report says it could be slow-motion video…

According to a new report from Mark Gurman from 9to5mac who pointed to recently discovered code hidden inside the iOS 7 developer beta that suggests the next-gen iPhone could include a new ‘Mogul’ camera mode. This secret feature, he says, allows video recording at a staggering 120 frames-per-second.

“We have discovered that Apple is designing a new iPhone camera feature called “Mogul” mode. A mogul is defined as a powerful person in a media industry, making the word a perfect codename (or even a marketing name) for a new iPhone camera feature. The discovery, shared with us by Hamza Sood, comes by way of hidden references inside of the latest iOS 7 betas.
According to our analysis and testing of the code, “Mogul” is a feature in development that allows the iPhone to capture video at an exceptionally fast and precise rate. Specifically, our testing indicates that the feature can allow the iPhone to record video at a rate of 120 frames-per-second (FPS). The resolution at which this 120FPS video could be recorded at, however, is currently unclear.”

Capturing video at 120FPS will give the users the ability to record videos in slow-motion.. But let us be honest such feature already done by a lot of smartphones like oPro Hero3 and Samsung’s Galaxy S4. Video captured at a fast rate, and replayed at standard speed appears much slower.
