A new feature buried in the code for Apple's latest iOS 7 beta has hinted at the possibility of a new feature for the upcoming iPhone 5S - the ability to record high-speed video.

According to 9to5Mac, the feature is hidden in iOS 7 and not usable on current-generation handsets. It provides the software layer for a camera system that can record at 120 frames per second - four times faster than the 30 frames per second used by current iPhone models.

The iPhone 5S is already rumoured to include numerous camera improvements, including a second LED flash for improved low-light photography and a high-resolution 13-megapixel sensor. The introduction of high frame rate video seems likely, especially as one of Apple's biggest competitors, the Samsung Galaxy S4, already includes a 120 frames per second high-speed video mode.

The iPhone 5S is expected to launch later this year, possibly alongside a less expensive iPhone Lite, which is expected to use a polycarbonate plastic casing. Rumoured specifications include a larger and higher-resolution display, faster A7 processor and a fingerprint sensor. Apple, for its part, has refused to confirm or deny any of the rumours surrounding its unannounced products.
