What are the differences between iPhone 5 and 5s. iPhone model names

During development cameras Apple again did not take a step towards increasing the number of pixels. But the iPhone 6 received improved autofocus and face detection. The iPhone 6 Plus differs from the iPhone 5S and 6 in the presence of an optical image stabilizer.

Significant changes have occurred in opportunities video shooting. Video shooting speed using iPhone 6 can reach 60 frames per second, while the iPhone 5S is only capable of 30. Slo-mo mode has the ability to slow down to 240 frames per second, which is two times slower than the 5. But you will be especially pleased with the installation of a professional cinematic image stabilizer, which will allow you to shoot truly breathtaking clips. The iPhone 6 also received continuous autofocus, which changes the focus point in a matter of seconds depending on surrounding events. This function is good not only for fans of art cinema, but also for home archives, for example, when photographing children who are able to move in space with amazing agility.

Apple has taken care of Selfi lovers: front camera received a “Burst” mode, which allows you to take up to 30 selfies in a row. The quality of video shooting using the FaceTime camera has also been improved.

Internet connection speed iPhone 6 promises to reach 150 Mb/s. Both smartphones support LTE, but the sixth generation received additional support in the form of VoLTE. According to preliminary data, the Internet on the iPhone 6 will be 3 times faster than on the iPhone 5S. And don’t forget about the possibility of making an audio call to a subscriber with using Wi-Fi connections.

What other differences are there?

Apple Pay– something that iPhone 5S users will miss out on. Thanks to the NFC chip, iPhone 6 can be used instead credit card. The system is not only extremely convenient and allows you to avoid many unnecessary movements, but also has an increased level of security and protection of personal data.

Another difference between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S is the presence barometer, which will take on many functions, including measuring the ambient temperature.

iPhone 6 became the first smartphone from Apple with possible memory capacity in 126 GB. However, there is no 32 GB model in the line. While the iPhone 5S maintained the classic trend: 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Delivery contents will remain unchanged for all smartphones in the series. All three smartphones will work under the strict guidance of iOS 8.

Where to buy and what prices

Rumors about the possible appearance of a cheaper version of the iPhone smartphone appeared several years before the release of such a model. For the most part, analysts sat and wondered about the differences between this device and the standard version.

Such speculations led to the emergence of many legends about a cheap version of the iPhone 5, which was supposed to win back part of the market from Android devices.

5c or 5 - which is better?

After the presentation of the 5th version of the iPhone, many were perplexed. The 5c was the same as the regular 5s, but the body was made of plastic. Their prices were not much different.

Why buy a budget version if there is still a regular 5 business-oriented product on the market?

The position of the new device on the market and why use plastic in the case?

With the advent of budget versions of smartphones Apple company changed the scheme of the transition process from old model to a new one.

When a new, but transitional device was released, it received the letter S after the name, and the previous leader lost in price and served as an alternative cheap model.

This approach allowed only one device to be brought to market.

With the advent of the 5c device, this approach has changed. There are now two devices on sale: 5s and 5c.

For last people will go even if it is not actively advertised.

As a material iPhone cases plastic is used for the first time. The choice fell on him for a reason. Since the process of anodizing aluminum is technologically complex, creating cases in different colors will not be so simple and will be more expensive.

Moreover, previously only one new product was presented on the market, but now there are two, and the 5c has various color options. This doesn't confuse buyers as much.

. “In a nutshell,” the difference between them is usually described as follows: outwardly, the new product is like two peas in a pod old gadget, but inside it is already powerful hardware from the iPhone 6s. But is this true? After all, the devil, as we know, is in the details...

Dimensions and weight

The dimensions and weight of the 5s and SE are the same - 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm, but the weight... of the new one Apple smartphone it is one gram more :). 113 versus 112. An “extra” gram in real life, of course, is more of a joke than a disadvantage - hardly anyone will seriously notice it.

Design and available colors

Externally, the 4-inch iPhone SE is complete copy iPhone 5s. Moreover, iFixit experts came to the conclusion that many components of the iPhone SE are completely identical to those of the iPhone 5s.

Experts installed a display from the iPhone 5s in the iPhone SE and found that the old display not only fit seamlessly into the body of the new device, but also worked perfectly in conjunction with the other components.

Initially, the iPhone 5s was available in three colors: space gray, gold and silver (with the release of the iPhone 6s, the “gold” version of the 5s disappeared from retail).

In the iPhone SE, Apple retained the previous 3 colors and added one new one - “rose gold”.

CPU

iPhone SE received the Apple A9 chip, which is also installed in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. According to Apple itself, it is 2 times more productive than the A7 chip installed in the iPhone 5s, and 3 times faster than its predecessor in processing graphics. The M9 coprocessor is also much more powerful than the M7 - thanks to interaction with sensors (compass, gyroscope and accelerometer), it allows you to collect more fitness data (steps, kilometers, etc.). iPhone SE's Hey Siri feature works without being connected to a power source.

RAM

iPhone SE has 2 gigabytes RAM- and in the iPhone 5s there is only one. You feel the difference very quickly - for example, an “extra” gigabyte of RAM allows you to instantly access long-forgotten tabs in Safari, without first loading them via the Internet.

Storage

iPhone SE comes in only two versions - with 16 and 64 GB storage. iPhone 5s, in turn, was produced in three versions - 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Cameras

The iPhone SE received a 12 megapixel iSight camera with an f/2.2 aperture. For comparison, the iPhone 5s was equipped with a photo module of only 8 megapixels (the aperture is the same). Old iPhone seriously lags behind the newcomer in terms of functionality - unlike SE, 5s

• does not record video in 4K resolution or at 240 frames per second (slow motion);
• does not take panoramic photos in resolutions up to 63 megapixels;
• Does not take Live Photos.

But the front camera of FaceTime on both smartphones is equally “antediluvian” - only 1.2 megapixels. And if in the case of the iPhone 5s this can somehow be explained, then the iPhone SE has nothing to cover - it is obvious that Apple (apparently in pursuit of a low price) saved money here. True, even on this “front” the SE has one advantage - Apple engineers equipped it with the Retina Flash function (when taking a selfie in poor lighting conditions, the screen acts as a flash).

LTE (4G)

iPhone SE offers 50% more quick access to the Internet (if technically possible) - up to 150 Mbit/s versus 100 Mbit for the iPhone 5s. Unfortunately, these capabilities of the iPhone SE cannot be called an advantage in Russian realities.

By the way, it’s worth paying attention: according to official data, the SE is offered in two models, the first of which, A1662, does not support the 7th LTE band, popular in Russia. The version with number A1723 does not have such problems.

Opening hours

Featuring a power-efficient 3rd generation 64-bit processor and a small iPhone screen SE runs noticeably longer than 5s. Apple notes that when browsing the Internet over 4G or Wi-Fi, the battery new iPhone“will last” 13 hours, when playing music - up to 50 hours. Under the same conditions, the iPhone 5s will only last 10 and 40 hours, respectively. As you can see, the “survivability” of the battery has increased by 25-30%. Impressive!

Just the other day, Apple introduced the world to its new flagship iPhone 5S. Undoubtedly, this model is in many ways better than its predecessor. What exactly has improved and what are the differences between them - we will consider in more detail in this material.

Difference between iPhone 5 and 5S:

1. Apple's new flagship in 2013 is the iPhone 5S. Compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 5, the new product received three main advantages: more productive hardware, an improved camera, and a fingerprint scanner. As previously reported, the iPhone 5S smartphone will be available in three colors, two traditional white and black and a new gold color.

2. Communicator iPhone 5S, the world's first smartphone running on a 64-bit processor. Due to the new A7 chip, the phone's performance has doubled compared to the iPhone 5; as you remember, the Pyaterochka was equipped with an A6 processor. Regarding operating systems, then the 5S model runs on the new iOS 7, the predecessor was equipped with iOS 6.

3. In addition, the new model has new M7 motion coprocessor, which collects data from the gyroscope, acceleration sensor and compass, thereby relieving the A7 processor and increasing energy savings. Interestingly, this M7 motion processor measures movement data constantly, even when the smartphone is put into sleep mode. This factor was absent in the iPhone 5. In addition, there is now support for OpenGL ES 3.0 (identical to Android 4.3 on Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 or 800 processors).

4. As for the camera of smartphones, unlike previous model V iPhone 5s a camera with an 8-megapixel matrix is ​​used, with improved stabilization and updated lenses. Main feature, which had the ability to take panoramic photographs. The video was recorded in 1080 HD format. It was possible to take photographs and videotape at the same time.

5. What other difference is there between the old and new model? New iPhone The 5S is equipped with an improved camera that will allow the owner to shoot in professional quality. Apple engineers paid special attention to the quality of video and photography. The new product has a modified 5-element camera with pixels increased to 1.5 microns and a new f/2.2 aperture. In addition, the iPhone 5s differs from the old model in its ultra-fast video shooting (120 fps). To compare cameras, just shoot and play any video on the old and new Apple models. In addition, any moment in the video can be slowed down, which is especially good if you need to show a certain fragment in slow motion.

6. Another distinctive point in 5s was the “Home” button; it lost the traditional square that was present on iPhone button 5. In addition, it is now covered protective glass from sapphire. Of particular interest in the iPhone 5s is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which provides the ability to safely unlock the device with one touch of a finger. The sensor built into the “Home” button analyzes the subepidermal layer of the skin and displays a high-resolution image of 550 pixels, this ensures very high accuracy of fingerprint recognition. In addition, Touch ID can remember the user’s fingerprints and reads the fingerprint from literally any angle of the finger.
