Five yes’ to the iPhone 5S!
Introduction
Apple launched the iPhone 5S along with the 5C, throwing cold water on those who expected an iPhone 6. But hey, the new derivatives of the iPhone 5 are not easy to convince. My previous article broke the iPhone 5C. Now it’s the iPhone 5S’s turn to take center stage. Comparisons between the three versions 5, 5C and 5S reveal that the 5S is much better than the other two.
The rest of this article delves into what makes the iPhone 5S the current heartbeat even though it’s Apple’s most expensive phone to date.
Yes No. 1: Outside
5S shows that it does indeed belong to the iPhone 5 family. His avatar is a bit different in his derma cosmetic treatment.
Colors: The 5S skin is available in 3 colors: white, gray and gold. White is a familiar color for iPhone lovers. But graphite gray and champagne gold are big draws. It’s obvious that customers were looking for a new form factor that the gold seems to satisfy. According to the latest news, the gold iPhone 5S is in high demand and customers are willing to pay exorbitant amounts for it.
Apple is a premium brand and coupled with a royal color like gold, its display value increases multiple times. iPhone lovers want to get their hands on this new color to be the first to claim bragging rights!
The beveled edges, the aluminum ring, the volume keys and the ring/silent keys, also covered in the new colors, are also found in this version.
The solidly built case and thoughtful contrasts give the 5S a rugged yet attractive appearance.
Yes No. 2: Display and software
The iPhone 5S sports the same 4-inch screen as its iPhone 5 predecessor. We don’t know if the compulsion to be identified with the iPhone 5 or to keep pestering us with a smaller screen size has forced Apple to stick with the same screen size. . Further investigation reveals that the culprits could be the rotund home button (a fingerprint sensor for 5S) on the bottom end and the earpiece and front camera placed one below the other on the top end. Other phones, especially the ones that sport 5-inch screens, have developed ergonomic designs to deliver essential functions without causing discomfort to the user, for example, the Samsung Galaxy 4. Oh, by the way, the screen is vivid and sharp at 326 pixels. per inch and a resolution of 1136. *640.
On-screen features are the exclusive property of iOS 7. In fact, they appear in all their glory on the 5S, smooth, responsive and delicious. The complementary features of iOS 7, A7 and 64-bit architecture show up brilliantly on the surface. Grapevine says that Apple has graced the list of free 5S apps with Garage, Keynote, Numbers, Movies, and Photos.
To better understand iOS 7, please read my article written on this website. Mobile app development and iPhone app development specifically is expecting to experience some exciting tumult!
Yes No.3: Sensor
It may not have stretched out the screen, but it does have a nice ring called a fingerprint sensor to replace the home button that recedes slightly. iPhone 5S gives you the option of using your finger to access your phone instead of a passcode. After all, it’s your cell phone, it has to recognize you, right?
You can go to the Settings page (use the phone’s guide for tips) and register your fingerprint to let the phone know you own it. If you’re the generous type who passes your phone to others, you can also enroll the fingerprints of others. The phone can register up to 5 fingerprints. Upon registration, the phone recognizes your fingerprint and then allows you to access it. Please note that it may take some time for the phone to get used to your fingerprint. So don’t be surprised if the phone asks you to “try again”.
Yes No. 4: Camera
Apple has worked hard on the 5S’s camera department and wants a pat on the back. We’ll do a rain test on that, after dissecting the 5S camera. Here are some quick stats:
- Camera numbers: 2 (front and rear)
- Resolution: 8 MP (rear camera) and 1.2 MP FaceTime HD (front camera)
- Aperture: f/2.2 (rear camera)
- Flash: Dual LED flash called True Tone flash
- Image Signal Processing (ISP)
- Burst mode (up to 10 frames per second)
iPhone 5S has an improved 8 MP rear camera that offers flawless images and videos. Apple has introduced a dual-tone flash called True Tone that features a cool and a warm tone. So every time you shoot a scene, the operating system and the camera together detect the environment of the scene and activate the flash using the correct combination of LEDs to deliver a true-to-original image.
To use burst mode, just press the shutter button a little longer and shoot. The camera shoots up to 10 fps in burst mode and intelligently processes the best features captured between frames. These are saved with a tagged flag under images that the 5S deems important.
Apple hasn’t forgotten the video aspect. A Slo-Mo camera mode is introduced on the 5S that shoots 720-pixel video at 120fps. This can be played at a slower pace at 30fps. A built-in timeline slider allows you to slow down a desired part of the video. You can also share this video from your iPhone using the great sharing features of iOS 7.
Yes No. 5: Processors and Battery
Apple has been touting the A7 as the best hardware to bundle iOS 7 with. It turns out to be true. A7 pushes the operating system to show itself in all its glory. The blush wallpaper, stylish icons, crisp text and colorful animations that have fans ooh and aah are all due to the A7 engine, as are the fast app launches and slick responsiveness, smooth transitions between screens and features and content-rich feature support (camera).
M7-the A7’s motion twin: let’s call it the power manager. Apple removed this motion coprocessing chip with the A6. The A6 became the A7 and this baby was christened the M7. This smart chip takes over from the A7 when it detects the phone’s idle state and starts processing low-power apps. This is to conserve battery power during standby mode by increasing its power per charge. In addition to this task, it behaves as a sensor center, collecting data from motion-dependent applications such as compass, accelerometer, and gyroscope, thus saving battery usage. Third-party apps, especially health and fitness apps that dive into sensory functions, will benefit from the M7.
Imagine a situation where the M7 detects whether you are walking or driving and provides you with directions. And if you’re driving, you can stop iOS from asking you to connect to Wi-Fi networks on the road. That’s M7 for you!
Battery: The 5S has a 5.96 kWh battery that saves about 10% more battery power. These savings are reinvested to improve performance. The starring role played by M7 and the smart management algorithms of iOS 7 are big contributors to better battery performance.
Conclusion
The 5S outperforms all other smartphones, across all operating system technologies and within its family as well. The new operating system, iOS 7 and the powerful A7 and M7 multi-core processors do their bit to multiply its performance. Camera, multitasking, and other critical user features rise to new heights that take you, the user, along with them. Apple, at the same time, has kept prized technologies like the Retina display in the 5S. Those who are into iPhone app development now have a complete setup to run their iOS 7 based apps.
Not surprisingly, despite being born at the same time, this majestic iPhone outsells the 5C, labeled the common man’s iPhone.
