As is Apple’s way, the iPhone 5S is an iterative improvement over the iPhone 5. With constant calls for it to innovate more, there is a danger Apple is falling behind the smartphone competition, particularly with the Android tsunami threatening to drown it.
So detractors will point to the fact that the iPhone 5S looks and feels very similar to its predecessor, but that doesn’t mean the upgrade to both software and hardware isn’t a significant one, as a closer look at the iPhone 5S shows.
The iPhone 5S will be available to order on 20th September 2013 from £549.
Overview:
Other than that the iPhone 5S’s only new design feature is that it comes in a fresh colour, a tasteful gold or 'champagne'. Not to your taste? The good news is it will also be available in more traditional dark grey and white versions.
iPhone 5S has an upgraded processor – the A7 SoC (system on chip). Apple claims that it is twice as fast as the processor on the A6 dual-core 1.3GHz processor on the iPhone 5. It’s a whopping bump in power, especially considering the A6 was already twice as fast as the A5 chip on the 4S. It’s also 40 times faster than the original iPhone. It really hits home when you consider that it only came out in 2007.
Graphics are just as important, and the iPhone 5S has been given a boost here too. Once again Apple claims that the performance is twice what it was on the model.
So there’s plenty more power on tap, but there’s also an additional separate processor called the M7. This takes care of the motion data – such as accelerometer – exclusively. According to Apple this paves the way for a new health and fitness apps and devices to be used with the iPhone 5S. Nike is already working on an exclusive app that will take full advantage of these new capabilities.
Apple has gone a little bit sideways with the camera on the iPhone 5S and followed the route HTC took with the One. The camera remains an 8MP resolution one but the aperture has been changed to f/2.2 and the sensor has been increased in size by 15%, allowing more light to reach it. The pixel size has also been increased to 1.5 microns. In theory this should make it better in low-light conditions.
The iPhone 5S has been given two LED flashes. The top one is white and the one below is a warm amber. The ambient light of the scene is detected and the flash picks a tone that best matches it, theoretically leading to better colours and skin tones. We didn’t get a chance to test this feature but will be putting it through its paces soon.
The iPhone 5 was guilty of not providing as much stamina as many would have liked. A titchy 1,440mAh battery was the main culprit. The iPhone 5S comes with a larger battery but it was not confirmed how much larger. If the processor is more efficient then this should provide the extra stamina needed, but the fact the claims haven't increased from the 8-10 hour mark is disappointing.
Disadvantage:
battery life not increased in iphone 5s.card slot not available.radio not placed in iphone 5s.looks also not change compare with iphone 5.
