Shooting in Mogul would enable the latest model to capture film at 120 frames per second (FPS), whilst the current iPhone 5 only shoots at up to 30 FPS.
Recording video at such a high frame rate would allow detailed slow-motion playback as controlled by the user.
This will bring the iPhone into direct camera competition with the Samsung Galaxy S4, which already boasts 120 FPS capabilities.
Mogul was discovered when Apple enthusiasts unearthed hidden code and text strings within the companys latest iOS 7 beta. While its not certain the alleged feature will definitely appear on the next model, it seems likely.
Last month developers suggested iOS 7 may also be able to detect blinking and smiling in photographs, as well as allowing users to shoot video on existing devices up to 60 FPS.
Therefore developers concluded Mogul will only be available for use in newer devices, rather than as an upgraded feature for devices with the new geted software.
This would fit in with Apples previous S offerings, all of which sported upgraded camera options. The 3GS was updated with facial detection facilities and advanced video recording, whilst the 4S introduced 1080-pixel recording.
In 2011 the iPhone panorama camera mode code was discovered nestling in iOS5, but the feature was not released until the launch of the iPhone 5 handset last year.
Moguls improved camera system is reportedly one of several updates to the touted iPhone 5S, alongside a more powerful processor and sleeker design.
Another rumour circulating on the internet is the possibility of a fingerprint sensor system, which Samsung filed a patent for to include in the next generation of their Galaxy handsets.
iOS 7 was unveiled at the World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco last month.
