Support for iPhone 5S cellular and others wireless networks data transmission.

Familiar Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are no different from what we saw in the iPhone 5:

Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz) Bluetooth 4.0

But for working with networks cellular operators there are significant changes. iPhone 5S comes in five different models, the difference between which is support for different LTE (4G) bands. Including two of the iPhone 5S models support the 7th band, which is currently being mastered by Russian operators. cellular communication.

The rest of the models also include the 20th range allowed in Russia in the list of supported bands, but the big three Russian operators have not yet got their hands on it - the 20th range is characterized by the ability to maintain a high density of subscriber connections, but equipment for operating at 20- This range is significantly more expensive, and therefore the development of the G20 has been postponed until better times.

If you expect to work with a high-speed connection, then it makes sense to be careful when buying an iPhone 5S and check not only the color and memory capacity of the device, but also the model - the 7th range is supported by the A1530 and A1457 models. These models are supplied to European countries - France, Germany, Great Britain, as well as to some Asian regions - Hong Kong, South Korea and some others.

The complete list of models is as follows.

Model A1533 (GSM) *: UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25) Model A1533 (CDMA) *: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25) Model A1453 *: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26) Model A1457 *: UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz) ; GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20) Model A1530 *: UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)

Determination of iPhone 5S location and orientation in space.

Assisted GPS / GLONASS- a familiar item in the iPhone specification for 2 generations of Apple smartphones (4S and 5), before the iPhone only supported GPS. However, this does not greatly affect the practical use of a smartphone as a navigator, the word "Assisted", which precedes the GPS, plays a much larger role, which indicates that the iPhone receives the initial location of the satellites from the operator's server through the channels mobile communications and, accordingly, he does not need a long and persistent search for satellites, which can take 15-20 minutes. A-GPS starts up as soon as the navigation application is loaded and the user does not even suspect that his iPhone performs a small technological miracle every time.

Digital compass- a digital compass in the interpretation of iOS 7, which is originally preinstalled on the iPhone 5S, in addition to actually orienting to the cardinal points, it also allows you to determine the tilt of the device and can be used as a device for measuring levels. We launch the Compass application, flip to the right on the level screen and enjoy the opportunity to determine whether the table in the cafe is aligned, the shelf in the hallway or the picture on the wall in the living room is hung.

Wi-Fi- determines the location relative to stationary Wi-Fi access points to the network, is used when it is impossible to receive a signal from satellites of GPS / GLONASS systems.

Cellular- allows you to determine the location of the smartphone through binding to the towers of cellular operators, it is unlikely that this is often required by the user, but the ability to bind to the terrain relative to the stations of the cellular network is available.

Touch ID iPhone 5S.

A completely new option that only the iPhone 5S is equipped with. Protects your smartphone from unauthorized access by requiring you to show the owner's fingerprint to turn it on. Until now, a digital password has been used for this purpose, but most iPhone users have disabled this option as it significantly slows down the access time to information.

Fingerprint ID promises to increase data security with the prospect of transferring all operations that require user identification - access to the App Store, buying content from iTunes and others, to this new technology for mobile gadgets.

The fingerprint sensor is built into the "Home" button and when the iPhone owner wants to turn it on, he can do it simply by pressing the main and only button on the front of the smartphone. When touched, the sensor reads the pattern from the finger and compares it with a previously stored pattern.

The option, of course, can be turned off and use a digital password in the old fashioned way, or turn off everything at once and not let go of the iPhone, not leave it on the table while leaving the room.

IPhone 5S display.

iPhone 5S features the award-winning 4-inch Retina display with Multi-Touch support. The screen resolution is 1136x640 pixels with a density of 326 ppi. Among the characteristics of the display, an oleophobic coating is also mentioned, which eliminates the rapid smearing of the screen with fingerprints.

We've gotten used to the term Retina display and the image quality provided by this technology, but it might not be superfluous to remember that the technology itself at the moment iPhone presentations 5S is only three years old - the first time it was used on iPhone models 4 in 2010.

In fact, Retina quality means that the pixel size of the display matrix is indistinguishable to the human eye, and, accordingly, on such a display, you can achieve image quality in which the individual points of which it is composed merge into a single whole.

Main iSight camera of iPhone 5S.

The camera sensor has the same 8 megapixels, but the iSight pixel size of the iPhone 5S camera is increased by 1.5 times compared to previous models, which creates additional features to improve the quality of pictures.

The characteristic of the iPhone 5S camera's ability to collect light reflected by the subject - the aperture is ƒ / 2.2 - not that fantastic, but very good for a camera that is always with you.

The lenses of the optical system are covered with a sapphire crystal, which also affects the crystal clarity of the image obtained by the camera on the photosensitive matrix. iPhone 5S received a dual LED flash, two LEDs of which have different spectral characteristics - one gives "cold light", and the other - "warm". By mixing these light sources with different luminance factors, the camera software allows you to select the optimal lighting for different lighting conditions when shooting.

In addition, the camera is equipped with a backlight sensor, five lenses, an infrared filter, and allows for autofocus and forced focus by touching the finger on the image. There is a function of face recognition, the possibility of panoramic shooting, automatic image stabilization, a shooting mode in series and the binding of photos to geographic coordinates.

Needless to say, the camera is just great. If the iPhone was not so good in its other forms, then only the camera could provide it with a worthy patronage on the fields of competitive battles.

Shooting video on iPhone 5S.

The main new feature of shooting video on the iPhone 5S is the ability to shoot at a frequency of 120 frames per second. In the specification of the camera, this option is referred to as "slo-mo video", which reflects its role in essence. As you know, the human eye does not perceive pictures as separate even at a speed of scrolling 50 frames per second - this frequency was also used by tube TVs. A video shot at a speed of 120 frames per second allows you to slow down the viewing by half while maintaining the "smoothness" of the movement. A great option for capturing fast movements - sports, trick techniques and much more that you want to consider in more detail.

The rest of the characteristics of the video shooting functionality on the iPhone 5S are also at the level - 1080p HD resolution, image stabilization, the ability to capture still images when shooting a video, face recognition, digital z-x multiple magnification, binding of the footage to the terrain.

Front FaceTime camera on iPhone 5S.

The front FaceTime camera on the iPhone 5S is significantly weaker than the main iSight camera - 1.2MP for stills and 720p HD for videos. Not a lot, but quite enough for video calls, and this is what it is intended for. The front camera can also be used as a digital mirror.

Video and audio calls from iPhone 5S over the Internet.

For the first time in the specification, video calls are highlighted as a separate item, perhaps in order to logically submit audio calls via the Internet. As a matter of fact, there is no technical reason to separate audio and video calls over Internet connection protocols - both are data streams transmitted from a smartphone to the network and vice versa. The only difference is what is encoded in the digital stream.

The specification pleases that it allows the possibility of video signal transmission even over 2G networks - they are reflected by the letter "E" in the upper left part of the screen next to the name of the telecom operator. Accordingly, over the networks of the third and fourth generations - 3G and 4G, the signal carrying the video image must be transmitted in a sufficiently good quality.

It's not even video calls that are interesting - they were there before, but the inclusion in the FaceTime functionality of the ability to make voice calls without transferring an image. This is a rather slippery topic, since providing the ability to make voice calls via Internet channels is a direct competition to mobile operators. Theoretically, having the built-in ability to make calls via the Internet, you can completely refuse calls to cellular network, getting from it only access to the network and nothing more.

Today, this is still fantastic, since most of our contacts still do not have an iPhone and we do some of the calls to landline phones, but even the transfer of part of the voice traffic from ordinary calls over the cellular network to the Internet calls seriously hits the interests - read income, mobile operators communication. It is pertinent to add that the extended FaceTime functionality was received with iOS 7 by all models of the iPhone and iPod touch of the 5th generation, as well as iPad and iPad mini.

Play audio on iPhone 5S.

iPhone 5S supports many audio file formats, allowing you to listen to music and books from a wide variety of sources. In case you suddenly come across an audio file that is not supported by the iPhone 5S operating system, you can always download a third-party player from the App Store. List of supported formats:

AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX +), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

TV and video playback on iPhone 5S.

iPhone 5S can be used as a TV, receiving channels via the Internet connection and as a video player, while broadcasting is possible both on the display of the smartphone itself and on external displays such as a television screen. The signal is transmitted via a cable connection through a special adapter, which must be purchased separately, or via Wi-Fi broadcast, the so-called "AirPlay". It is assumed that the Apple TV serves as the bridge between the smartphone and the TV during AirPlay broadcast. Supported video formats:

H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Sensors and sensors iPhone 5S.

In addition to the list of sensors, without which it is already difficult to imagine a modern iPhone smartphone 5S received a fingerprint sensor. When the iPhone 5S is activated, the owner sets up the sensor to recognize himself by touching the “Home” button, into which the fingerprint sensor is mounted.

In the future, the smartphone blocks access to information when you try to turn it on by another person's hand. The uniqueness of the fingerprint provides an unprecedented level of control over access to information on the iPhone 5S.

The option can be disabled if necessary and reconfigured to a different owner.

The complete list of sensors and sensors also includes:

Three-axis gyroscope- captures changes in the position of the device in space in three coordinates, is used in applications for control using the tilt and movements of the smartphone. For example, switching from portrait to landscape screen orientation when rotating the smartphone is due to the use of a three-axis gyroscope. Accelerometer- control of the speed and changes in the speed of the device, is used, in particular, for the correct display of the map of the area when moving on the navigator. Controlling functions by shaking the smartphone is also possible thanks to the presence of an accelerometer. Distance sensor- built into the upper part of the front panel of the smartphone and is triggered when the iPhone is brought, for example, to the ear when receiving a call - in this case, the sensor is triggered to disable the touch control and display the image on the display. You can test the sensor's functionality by covering the top of the front panel with your hand while making a call. Ambient light sensor- controls the backlight of the screen, adding brightness when ambient light rises and dimming it when dimming. Sensor triggering is included in the control circuit automatic tuning screen brightness. Like most options, it can be disabled by the user through the smartphone settings.

Power and battery for iPhone 5S.

Progress has been slow on batteries used in mobile electronics. iPhone 5S got an improved battery, but all this was achieved at the same time - maintaining the main characteristics autonomous work- up to 10 hours in basic operating modes.

For active smartphone use external battery in the form of a case or a charging station in a bag - alas, are inevitable. The answer to the question "how long does the iPhone 5S battery hold" largely depends on how the smartphone is used:

If it lies quietly in your pocket or bag and is taken out only to make or receive a call, and at the same time calls are not part of a continuous workflow, then you can not twitch - most likely, one charge will be enough for the whole day and there will still be ;

In the event that the iPhone is almost constantly in your hands, and calls only distract from reading letters or books on it, listening to music or editing a financial report, and in short pauses between urgent recordings you browse the Internet, then charging is barely enough for several hours and be prepared that the smartphone will have to be recharged.

It makes no sense to blame the low battery capacity, it is a balanced compromise between the need for power-to-weight ratio and the ergonomics requirements for the size and weight of the device. By the way, the iPhone 5S has the best ratio of these indicators among modern smartphones- the weight is only 112 grams, and the battery life with standard use is 10 hours.

Built-in iPhone apps 5S.

Out of the box, the iPhone 5S ships with pre-installed software, which is selected in such a way that by activating the smartphone, the user gets into the sensations of all the delights of the novelty. Every year the number of pre-installed programs increases and in the case of the iPhone 5S there are already 26 of them.

12 more apps Apple gives iPhone 5S customers as a gift - they are not included with the device, but as soon as you enter the App Store, you are reminded of the opportunity to install the package for free free apps from Apple.

The package includes such glorious programs as Pages and Numbers, iPhoto and iMovie, as well as several others of varying degrees of popularity. Among the general list of programs, it is worth highlighting the "Find iPhone" application - apart from the well-known and, in most cases, not very useful features, the application received one serious option in 2013.

It is about blocking activation - "Activation Lock"... An insistent recommendation to understand how this option works will be quite appropriate, since you can step on the rake prepared for crooks yourself. It will be extremely painful to find yourself with a brick in your hands that refuses to activate, simply because you do not know - you forgot, lost, the Apple ID to which your iPhone is activated.

Terms of use iPhone 5S.

IPhone 5S has a limited operating environment for temperature, humidity, and altitude. The operating temperature range is between 0 ° and 35 ° C, in fact, this means that when the temperature of the device itself drops below zero, it will refuse to work, the same will happen when it heats up.

In most regions of Russia, the air temperature for several months of the year is kept below zero, but this is not scary - the temperature in your pocket still remains higher, however, in the cold season, in order not to unexpectedly be left without communication, it is useful to remember the boundary operating conditions, because when - 4 ° С iPhone will pretend to be a hose with a dead battery and will be asked to warm up.

Turning off during heating occurs differently - after reaching the critical level of 45 ° C, the iPhone left on the dashboard of the car will show a black screen with the inscription "I am overworked, I refuse to work" and will turn off.

The ranges from -4 ° to 0 ° C and from 35 ° to 45 ° C are no man's land, and here the performance of the iPhone depends on the parameters of specific parts - microcircuits, sensors and sensors.

The permissible range for relative humidity is 5 - 95%. Practical recommendation on this occasion it may sound as follows - do not reach the iPhone in the rain, do not immerse it in water. And if, God forbid, this happens, try to quickly drain it with all available means.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to overdry the iPhone in the conditions of central Russia, and in the hottest deserts of the world, the relative humidity reaches 5% only on a hot summer afternoon.

The maximum altitude above sea level at which the iPhone 5S will remain operational according to technical specification per device is 3000.00 meters. Residents of most Russian regions should remember this only in case of traveling to the mountains - when going to climb the peaks of the Pamirs, you should not rely on using the iPhone camera, it is better to take some specialized soap box with you, so as not to be left without memorable pictures. By the way, do not expect the presence of cellular coverage in the mountains at altitudes above 3000 meters.

Siri on iPhone 5S.

Siri continues to evolve, now it can be trained to recognize words and expressions, taking into account the peculiarities of the owner's pronunciation, but unfortunately in foreign languages. By the fall of 2103, Siri managed to learn the following languages - English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and two Chinese dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese.

IPhone 5S Package.

Opening the box of the iPhone 5S, you find: the smartphone itself, the power supply, the Lightning to USB cable, the EarPods headset and a small bag, supposedly with documentation. The most helpful thing to learn from this documentation is that the operating instructions can be found on apple.com, that there are customer support programs, that Apple is grateful for your purchase of the iPhone 5S.

Where to buy iPhone 5S.

If all of the above about the qualities and properties of the iPhone 5S suits you, and you are ready to put up with what does not suit you, then right now you can order an iPhone 5S in the Apple online store in St. Petersburg site.

Despite the fact that Apple is different new smartphone presents as ideal, even the biggest fans of the "apple" brand understand that they exist in lineup iPhones are both strong and weak devices. In this article we have to answer the question, what is the flagship phone of 2013 iPhone years 5S.

Briefly about innovations

At first glance, the iPhone 5S is not much different from its predecessor - the iPhone 5. However, in fact, Apple has done a good job both on the external and internal changes to this model. What's new in S? There are many modifications, and here are only the largest of them:

improved technological process of manufacturing the body
new processor
improved camera
Touch ID
iOS 7

As you can see, there is something to talk about. In this review, we will detail these and less significant changes in the Apple iPhone 5S, as well as analyze its pros and cons. Let's start the description, of course, with the design.

Appearance

So, as we mentioned above, outwardly the 5S, at first glance, looks exactly like its predecessor - iPhone 5. Slim aluminum body, silver side bezel, original back panel: top and bottom glossy stripes in a bright color - black or white, covered tempered glass, and between them - a matte "center" of a discreet shade - gray or silver. And, of course, a shiny "apple" stands out on the matte surface.

But if you look closely at the rear panel, you can see that the flash looks a little different, and if you take a closer look at the front panel, you notice a much more serious difference. The Home button looks different - the one located under the display. Throughout the history of the iPhone, this key looked the same, and in 5S it lost the square outline depicted in its center, but got a nice edging around the perimeter, and also ... a fingerprint scanner was built into it. However, we will talk about this innovation in a separate section.

And now about another important change in appearance... For the S-ki, Apple has come up with a model in a new color - white and gold. Finally, a "fun" change in the traditionally strict color scheme of the iPhone! By the way, the black-gray and white-silver models have also undergone some changes - the silver has become a little, and the gray is noticeably lighter.

And, finally, about the external changes, which cannot be noticed, no matter how much you look (yes, such a paradox) - an improved technological process of applying paint to the matte body and side edging. The fact is that the application literally poured from the 5-ki. This was, perhaps, the worst "bug" of iPhone five, and all users suffered from it, even those who carefully packed the device into a protective case. It seemed that even if the five simply stood beautifully on the shelf, the paint from it, too, would certainly crumble slowly.

Fortunately, Apple did not pretend that the problem did not exist and promptly took appropriate measures to fix it and voila - the paint does not peel off with the iPhone 5S. Moreover, the "apple" giant also worked with the buttons, they are pressed more tightly and clearly, and in the case they sit more reliably. Not to say, of course, that in the top five everything was kept on parole, but the body of its follower was made much better.

Some users even say that the iPhone 5S is heavier and more solid in the hand. If you thought so, then to the question - how much does the iPhone 5S weigh, we have an amazing answer for you - 112 grams, like the five.

iPhone 5S and dimensions in all three "dimensions" are the same as its predecessor: width - 5.86 centimeters, length - 12.38 cm, thickness - 0.76 cm.

The location, view of the jacks and connectors in the S-ki is the same as in the five (the exception is the Home button, but we have already said everything about it). How many speakers does the iPhone 5 S have? Again, like the fifth, there are two of them, one transmits voice and is located above the display, the second for speakerphone, listening to music, etc. - at the bottom right end.

Display

What is the difference between the iPhone 5S display? It has practically not changed - the diagonal is 4 inches, the resolution is 1136x640 pixels, the pixel density is 326 ppi. However, why change anything, if the clarity is excellent, the viewing angles are as wide as possible, the margin of brightness is sufficient.

Color reproduction deserves a special compliment - all shades are bright, but natural, unlike, for example, the display of one of the main competitors 5S - Samsung smartphone Galaxy S5, which "suffers" from excessive saturation.

The only drawback of the screen in the iPhone 5S is its size, after all 4 inches is no longer enough for a comfortable solution to all tasks of a modern user, reading books and watching movies, for example, is completely inconvenient. On the other hand, this is a matter of taste, if you like to read books from paper, and watch movies on a huge plasma, no "shovel" will save you.

Hardware and software

The iPhone 5S was the first phone to ship with a 64-bit processor, but the move was met with controversy. Maybe now mobile applications began to adapt to this architecture, but at the time of release, such a solution was more likely a reserve for the future than an improvement necessary for users here and now.

But what was actually expected from Apple, namely an increase in the number of cores - from 2 to 4, did not happen. The 64-bit A7 processor runs on 2 cores with a maximum clock speed of 1300 MHz. The size random access memory also unchanged - 1 GB.

However, here, as in the case of the display, I would like to ask - why do we need 4 cores and more RAM, if this "apple" device demonstrates excellent technical characteristics and with less modest parameters? The speed of the iPhone 5S is fast, everything runs very smoothly and without freezes. For some competing flagships, such a clear work is not available on 4 cores. And all because competitors operate on Google Android and do not have the ability to optimize the platform for hardware, but Apple has been working on "native" iOS from year to year, and the results are making themselves felt.

However, in the case of the iPhone 5S, everything did not go as smoothly as usual. S-ka became the first smartphone that came out with a pre-installed iOS seventh version. iOS 7 - both then and so far, is the largest platform update in history. And the point is not only in new chips - what is the long-awaited "curtain" for quick access to the most frequently used functions, but also in a complete visual revolution. Of course, such drastic changes took time to get accustomed, so some barely noticeable lags in the first iOS versions 7 took place, but, one way or another, they were the most invisible on the S-ke, both fours and the iPhone 5 could be updated to this version.

How much more powerful is the new A7 processor than the A6 that the five was equipped with? According to Apple - twice, in fact, the same is confirmed by the benchmarks, but as for the obvious difference for the average user, it will be noticeable only on really "heavy" applications like iMovie and 3D games. Well, as for the speed of performing tasks of light and medium, the difference between the work of A6 and A7 is measured literally in fractions of a second.

By the way, the iPhone 5S is also equipped with an M7 coprocessor, which is mainly responsible for motion sensors and allows the main chipset to rest on tasks such as step counting. This "rest" leads to a more economical consumption of the battery, which means that autonomous time work increases.

As for the ROM, the S, like the iPhone 5, is available in three variations - 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Touch ID

Special attention should be paid to the new Home button, which is now Touch ID or, in Russian, a fingerprint scanner. iPhone 5S became the first i-smartphone in which you do not need to enter a password to unlock, you just need to touch Home buttons.

I must say, at the time of the release of the S-ki, other flagships had already worked with similar solutions, however, time has shown that Apple is still the only company that has made a really cool fingerprint sensor. Everything is set up according to very simple instructions, the original of the print is remembered quickly, the response is clear, instant and almost error-free.

By the way, you can use Touch ID not only to unlock your smartphone, but also to buy applications in the App Store, that is, in fact, the scanner replaces two passwords - unlock and Apple ID. In general, it is very convenient.

Cameras

The sensor in the iPhone 5S camera remained the same - 8 megapixels, as in the fifth iPhone, but the pixel size was increased and the aperture value was decreased, which made it possible to get better shots in low light conditions.

In addition, Apple has invented a new True Tone flash that also works to improve the quality of night shots.

Well, improvements on the "little things" - improved detail and viewing angle, increased clarity.

In general, the megapixels are the same, but the result is completely different. You will definitely notice the difference between shots with a five and a 5S, especially if the shot was not taken in daylight, but in not very good lighting conditions.

New features have appeared in the video mode, the coolest of them is the slow motion function at 120 frames per second. Of course, this is unlikely to be useful to ordinary users, but the thing is definitely funny, in the end, practical sense is not always needed, sometimes you can indulge in it.

Concerning front camera, there is nothing special to say, it shoots very well, but not significantly better than the five.

Autonomy

The battery capacity of the S-ki has increased in comparison with its predecessor by only 120 mAh and is 1560 mAh. However, as you remember, the 5S battery has to "pull" twice as much powerful processor... Nevertheless, the battery, which is not greatly enlarged, seems to cope. The Apple iPhone 5S smartphone, like the five, will last a day in an active-moderate mode. Quite good autonomy for a modern flagship.

To take or not to take?

So, the iPhone 5S review has come to an end. At the beginning of the article, we talked about the fact that Apple has both weak and strong models. What is the hero of this publication?

I think by the general "warm" tone of the review, you understand that we are attributing the S-ku to the second category, and this is justified. There are a lot of changes and the iPhone 5S demonstrates excellent characteristics.

What is this device good for, and how does it differ from its predecessor? Firstly, Apple has fixed the errors in the technological process, so if the 5 wears out very quickly, the iPhone 5S will delight you with a flawless look for a long time. Secondly, a new processor has appeared, which, yes, is not 4-core and the RAM in it is very modest by today's standards, but these resources are enough for fast, trouble-free work. Thirdly, a camera that opens up new possibilities in low light conditions. And finally, Touch ID. And these are not all positive changes, but only the most important ones.

If you want to find the significant disadvantages of the iPhone 5S, then, probably, it will not be easy for you. The only thing to find fault with is a small diagonal, but, as we said, this is a very subjective drawback.

So is the iPhone 5S worth buying? If you have any other younger model of iPhone, of course, having bought an S-ku (even in comparison with a 5-ka), you will feel the difference. However, there is one but. Today there is another very interesting iPhone model on the market, it is called SE - Special Edition.

This device was released after the 6S especially for those nostalgic about the very successful fifth series. Externally, the SE is almost one-to-one 5S, but the inside is almost as powerful as the 6S. That is, SE "makes" even a six, but at the same time it costs less.

The average price of the iPhone SE is 26,000 rubles, the iPhone 6 is 36,000 rubles. However, the iPhone 5S can be obtained for 18,000 rubles (all prices are for the 16 GB version). In general, everything depends on the size of the wallet, the 5S is, of course, a great smartphone, but the SE is several orders of magnitude more powerful, so if finances allow, you should take a special version. Do not allow? Take the iPhone 5S and be sure you are buying a really cool and powerful device.

Today Apple doubly pleased its fans by presenting two new smartphones at once: the flagship iPhone 5S and the "budget" iPhone 5C. This is not to say that we were looking forward to this event. Rumors circulating on the Web for the last few months have done their job: almost everything was known about the devices long before their premiere, and interest in them, as a result, faded slightly. However, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are presented, so let's get it straight.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C

As expected, the outward appearance of the iPhone 5S resembles its "older" brother iPhone 5. The design of the novelty has not changed much, the new design of the Home button, under which the TouchID fingerprint scanner is located, and a dual LED flash, catch the eye. The rest of the iPhone 5S is identical to its predecessor. If you do not know the differences between the devices, they can be quite confused (which may well be used by unscrupulous sellers).

The internals of the iPhone 5S have also undergone changes, but on a larger scale. Basically, the changes affected the processor. IPhone 5S uses A7, the first 64-bit processor for mobile devices... Thanks to it, the performance of the iPhone 5S has increased 40 times compared to original iPhone, and in terms of graphics - 56 times.

The camera of the iPhone 5S has also changed slightly. It's still an 8-megapixel module, but the size of the camera sensor is increased by 15% compared to the iPhone 5, the pixel is now 1.5 microns, and the aperture is f / 2.2 (the smartphone should take better pictures in low light conditions). Apple has equipped the iPhone 5S with a dual LED flash, one with cool light and one with warm light, which achieves over 1000 combinations for the right color balance. The camera also learned to shoot slow-mo in HD resolution at 120 fps. ...

The iPhone 5S will go on sale in the US, Australia and Canada on September 20 for $ 199, $ 299, and $ 399 for the 16, 32 and 64 GB models. Unlike previous Apple smartphones, the iPhone 5S will be available in three colors: black, white and champagne. The iPhone 5S will be available for pre-order on September 13th. As for the SIM-free (no-contract) version, the iPhone 5S with 16 GB will cost customers $ 649, the 32 GB modification will cost $ 749, and the 64 GB version will cost $ 849. ...
