Can I require an iPhone 5S for my app?

Question

I\'m writing an app which requires the M7 Motion co-processor chip in the iPhone 5S. Since this chip isn\'t in any other iPhone, the app will only function properly on an iP

I spoke with Apple and the correct answer is at this time NO. You can not specify via Required device capabilities or otherwise that an iPhone 5S is required for a specific app. You can however state clearly in your app's description that it requires the iPhone 5S/M7 motion co-processor and Apple will accept it.
