Apple iPhone 5 sizes. Operating system and fingerprint scanner. A mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to communicate with each other

Today, Apple has 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. The rumors that have been circulating on the Internet for the past few months have done their job: almost everything was known about the devices long before their premiere, and interest in them, as a result, slightly wane. However, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C have been revealed, so let's find out.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C

As expected, outwardly the iPhone 5S resembles its “bigger” brother iPhone 5. The design of the new product has hardly changed, the new design catches your eye Home buttons, under which there is a TouchID fingerprint scanner, as well as a dual LED flash. Otherwise, the iPhone 5S is identical to its predecessor. If you don’t know the differences between the devices, they can easily be confused (which can easily be taken advantage of by unscrupulous sellers).

The internal components of the iPhone 5S also underwent changes, but on a larger scale. Basically, the changes affected the processor. The iPhone 5S uses the 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 iPhone 5S camera has also changed a little. This is still an 8-megapixel module, but the size of the camera sensor has been 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 do more high quality pictures in low light conditions). Apple equipped the iPhone 5S with dual LED flash: one with cool light, the other with warm light, allowing for more than 1,000 combinations to be achieved for the correct color balance. The camera has also learned how to shoot slow-mo in HD resolution at 120 fps. Examples of photos from the iPhone 5S camera.

Please note that after updating to iOS 7, you will not be able to officially return to the previous version of the operating system. Acquainted with iOS features 7 is possible in

IPhone 5s has become the most common apple smartphone in Russia, and this despite the fact that after it Apple has already released the next three generations. The previous iPhone 5 model was not far behind it. But what are the differences between these two smartphones? Let's find out.

External differences

Models 5 and 5s are almost the same in terms of appearance. The same dimensions are length, width, thickness and even weight.

They are distinguished by the button “ home" If in the early model it was just a concave mechanical button with a branded square inside, then in the 5s they added touch scanner ID. At one time, this was the starting point for almost all manufacturers to integrate a fingerprint scanner into their smartphones.

Also at the back you can see another difference, this flash. IN modified version The usual “five” now has a double LED flash.

Another difference is color solutions to these models. IPhone 5 was presented in black and white.

At 5s added golden color, and the black was changed to a lighter shade - gray.

All this allowed us to take a fresh look at the same design and form factor of the smartphone, but still the most important differences are hidden inside the case.

Hardware differences

CPU and display

Specifications screen both smartphones have absolutely identical. This is famous Retina display with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1136×640 and a density of 326 ppi, which, according to company representatives, is ideal for user perception.

The most main difference The difference between the two models being compared is the processor. To normal " five» the manufacturer supplied a processor with two cores A6 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, but the company’s new chip was built into the subsequent version A7. They have the same frequency, but the most important difference in the new product is 64-bit processor architecture. The previous smartphone worked on 32-bit processor.

According to the company, this made it possible to increase the speed of work by as much as five times, and productivity was equal to personal computers. Another innovation was the built-in M7 coprocessor, he took over the monitoring of the operation of sensors such as an accelerometer, built-in compass and gyroscope. This unloaded the main processor and now the smartphone stopped “slowing down” when heavy load. The acquisition of such a coprocessor has opened up new opportunities for the use of fitness applications, including faster and more efficient operation of cards.

If you look at cameras, then in 5S the main camera was changed to a more advanced one. Megapixels were left in the same number, but the size of the pixel itself on the camera sensor was significantly reduced, and now it has become 1.5 µm. It was said that this would allow the creation of brighter and rich photos day and night. And as practice has shown, this is indeed the case.

The colors have become more natural without noise, the camera has begun to miss the white balance less, in photographs you can see a decrease in interfering glare, in dark rooms you can see more details, and if you need to shoot text indoors with white sheet paper, the text appears cleaner and clearer.

Here's a comparison of the photos. Left iPhone 5, right 5S:

As previously noted, the change also succumbed to flash. Instead of one cold LED, two were inserted into the 5S - cold and warm. As a result, the photographs became more natural and vibrant.

Also, due to the new, much more powerful processor, it has become faster work phase autofocus. Time focusing cameras per object decreased by half. Worked better too stabilization, photos have become easier to take, and videos are now less jerky and smoother. High performance new filling also allowed the camera to shoot video in four times slow motion at 120 fps.

The front cameras were left unchanged; in both cases it is the same 1.2 megapixel module.

Gadget memory

There were many rumors that the Apple company plans to introduce 128 GB memory in the new smartphone, but this remains a rumor. Everything remains in 5S without changes, the same 16, 32 and 64 GB of internal memory without expandability. Those for whom this was not enough could take advantage cloud memory. Nothing has changed in random access memory, manufacturers still insist that 1 GB is enough for all the user’s needs.

Operating system and fingerprint scanner

In 2017, both smartphones can be updated to iOS 10.2.1, so there is no point in comparing them. As soon as the user connects to the Internet, he will be prompted to update to version 10 of the OS; the update “weighs” 2 GB. What differentiates these two smartphones is the presence of a fingerprint scanner and related software functions. The main feature of the 5S is that the phone unlocks when you press the home button, and you can also configure the scanner to using Apple Pay. But of course, the main condition for its use is that the finger must be dry and clean.

Battery and sound

Regarding audio no changes, but in general users notice very high quality sound for a device such as a smartphone.

The iPhone 5 had a battery 1440 mAh, and the charge was not enough for anything, but in 5S they corrected the situation a little, increased it to 1570 mAh. What did it give? The smartphone has become more durable, the operating time has increased by about 20%, and now you can use the phone all day and charge it only at night. But this is only with careful use.

What's the result?

Externally, the 5 and 5S are almost identical, but there are huge differences hidden inside them. This is a higher quality main camera, and twice as powerful processor, and battery, as well as many new functions that appeared thanks to the listed innovations. iPhone 5S is better in many ways previous version, but all this does not negate the fact that an ordinary “five” can be a good buy. And its price is lower.

When choosing a new mobile device Among the first parameters are the diagonal and screen resolution. In this article we will analyze everything in detail iPhone versions 5 and characterize the display of the models. This topic is of interest to many, because the iPhone 5 is one of the most popular tablets today.

The Apple company has long been of the opinion that the screen size of any device should not be large. But the development of the market set its own conditions, and we had to reconsider our principles. Now literally everyone knows how many inches the screens are popular smartphones. And what is the screen diagonal of the iPhone 5? We’ll talk in detail later.

Let's look at the diagonal sizes of fifth-generation smartphones in inches. Let’s say right away that all devices are quite compact and have completely identical characteristics. iPhones 5, 5S, 5C, SE have screens:

  • in 4 inches;
  • come with a resolution of 640×1136;
  • IPS Retina + display;
  • 326 ppi.

As you can see, the element cannot be called either large or small. The device will appeal to those who love convenient phones, fits in one hand. Statistics show that such models sell out better than others.

Now let's move on to iPhone specifications 5 and consider the main parameters of a simple model. Let's take a closer look at testing the capabilities of the display and comparing it with the previous iPhone release.

Equipment for the fifth iPhone model

The gadget was released in white and black versions, like the previous version of the iPhone 4S. But for the four, the box color was white for all smartphones. And the black five comes in a box of the same color. Moreover, it is not just black, but with an expensive silver tint. It all looks very impressive and attractive.

In the box with the gadget, the user will find:

  • information leaflets;
  • several stickers with Apple symbols.
  • device for removing the SIM tray;
  • headphones;
  • USB cord;
  • charging element.

As can be seen from the list, the manufacturer was not surprised in this regard. Everything is normal and predictable. But there is one exception - the box also contains a plastic form for storing accessories. This was not the case in previous models. Additional items were separated from each other by cardboard partitions.

By the way, the headphones are now completely separate - in a nice box, also made of plastic.

EarPods headphones

These accessories are worth considering separately. This time, the apple company has radically changed their appearance.

In the fifth smartphone model, these accessories have several holes directed in different sides for sound to come out. The shape of the “drops” has also changed somewhat. Only the style has been preserved.

The developer stated that the goal of the new design was to create elements that would ideally fit the anatomy of any ear. It is difficult to assess the success of such an idea, but in general the reviews on the forums are good.

The new headphones included with the fifth line of devices are ideal for most users. They fit tightly and comfortably, do not fall out and do not cause discomfort. They do not fall inside the ear because they are of sufficient size.

Lightning connector

Another dramatic change affecting the fifth iPhone is a cord for connecting to a PC or laptop and recharging the gadget. Once again Apple has innovated by changing the dock connector. It became much smaller and began to be called, translated from English, lightning.

As representatives of the Apple company said on the eve of the release of the fifth gadget, this was done to reduce the thickness of the device. But if there was a previous hole in the device, this would be unrealistic. In addition, the developer promised users increased bandwidth.

But this solution also has disadvantages - the user will no longer be able to use a friend’s charger. Of course, unless he also has a fifth-line iPhone.

Today, finding a USB cable for an Apple device while anywhere is as easy as shelling pears. But the owners of the A often find themselves alone with their problems.

But there is also a plus. It lies in the symmetry of the new connector. The plug can be inserted into the device in any direction.

Design

In anticipation of the release of the then new fifth version of the smartphone to the market, Apple fans did not expect to see anything new in terms of design. After all, they are already accustomed to the fact that this almost never happens. Of course, everyone understood that the volume of the device would be reduced and it would be made more sophisticated and stylish. But what else could it be?

The fact is that by introducing subtle touches, the manufacturer made the fifth device seem completely different from the four. The first thing that new owners of Phone 5 noted was its weightlessness. This characteristic subsequently had big influence on the popularity of the gadget. Especially among the fair sex.

The company's designers were able to do the impossible. Despite the significantly larger display, the gadget has become smaller.

But in general, if you focus on “appearance,” the five is good for both men and women. It will fit perfectly in any hand. This, unfortunately, cannot be said about many top models on Android, nicknamed “shovels” by users.


Display testing

The screen of the five was lengthened, but the width was left the same - like that of the fours (regular and S). Permission. Accordingly, it increased on the long side, but remained the same on the short side. Because of this, the picture format changed and became 16 to 9 instead of 3 to 2, as it was before. Many have highlighted this as a feature of iOS devices.

The front of the smartphone is covered with a glass plate. The surface of the element is smooth and, of course, there can be no scratches on it.

The anti-glare filter, as test results have shown, is very effective. This can be concluded judging by the good reflection of bright light. In this case, objects appear brownish, but their brightness is noticeably reduced.

The outer part of the display has an oleophobic layer, which prevents fingerprints. And if the screen does get a little dirty, it will be easy to remove the dirt. But here the experts identified an advantage among the fours. The screen of this model also has a similar coating, but does its job better.

Overall, the display deserves five stars positive reviews and high grades. And like ordinary users, and among testers. Compared to the fourth iPhone, the new model has a wider range of colors and increased efficiency anti-glare filter. In this regard, the shades on the five are close to natural, and glare appears much less frequently. But, as noted earlier, the oleophobic layer of the quads is of better quality. Other parameters of the devices are almost identical.

In this article you will find a comparison of all popular models iPhones by size and weight.

The whole world eagerly awaits the appearance of a new iPhone model, and when this happens, this phenomenon turns into a grandiose event, the news of which spreads throughout the globe.

  • This is what the main news says information channels every country, the Internet is replete with articles about the appearance of a new product, and people on the streets are talking about this - someone is waiting new gadget on sale, while others simply dream of a new modern phone.
  • This is how the presentation of each model takes place, but the popularity of the previous one does not fade with the advent of a new one.
  • The iPhone is always ahead of other gadgets, and everything matters about it, but buyers are especially concerned about the screen size and dimensions of the smartphone.

Every year there is a presentation of a new smartphone from Apple, but last year two innovative models from this famous manufacturer saw the light - iPhone 7 and 7 plus. They differ from each other and in technical specifications and in size. If you want to make a choice in favor of purchasing one model or another, then you need to study not only technical specifications gadgets, but also their dimensions.

iPhone 4 is a device for those people who do not chase new products and prefer proven reliability. Its dimensions are small, but the quality of the filling is not inferior to newer models. In addition, it attracts this smartphone And acceptable price, which, in comparison with the innovative gadgets of this brand, remains almost the main criterion for choosing this model.

Dimensions of iPhone 4:

iPhone 5 and 5S made from more innovative materials. A combination of metal and ceramic parts was used to create one of these models. Therefore, the weight of these smartphones is much less than the previous version, which cannot be said about the size.

Dimensions of iPhone 5:

Dimensions of iPhone 5S:

The iPhone 6 and 6S models are the same in size, but differ slightly in technical characteristics, but the 6 Plus is superior in size and other indicators. But still, manufacturers did not get too carried away with creating a smartphone with large dimensions, and a phone the size of a tablet would not surprise anyone now. Therefore, everything good in moderation.

Dimensions of iPhone 6 Plus:

iPhones 7 and 7 Plus differ in size, weight and screen size. All this is visible to the naked eye. Manufacturers did their best and created a truly real innovation in the field of gadgets. Users of these modern models We have already managed to appreciate all the advantages, but for those who are still choosing the smartphone of their dreams, here are the dimensions for comparison:

Dimensions of iPhone 7:

Dimensions of iPhone 7 Plus:

Any smartphone model from this manufacturer is worthy of attention and respect, but each person makes a choice in favor of one or another parameter. Some people prefer a low price, choosing later models, while others are chasing new technologies, and overpaying a lot of money, choose latest news. Each person is individual, just like the iPhone model. This can be seen from the dimensions identical models almost not.

Naturally, the dimensions of the phone are of great importance, but the size of the screen is considered no less important. After all, for many of us, a smartphone is both a desktop PC and a home theater and e-book. I would like it to be convenient for reading blogs and messages in in social networks, watch movies and play your favorite games.

The diagonal of the phone is used to evaluate the degree of its coolness; the larger the diagonal, but within reason, the better. Accordingly, Apple also has its finger on the pulse and the latest model has a screen diagonal of 5.5 inches. But, if someone prefers a smartphone with a more modest size, then you can choose the model of previous years.

Nowadays, almost no one measures the diagonal of a phone in centimeters. Everyone is already accustomed to hearing about this parameter in inches, it’s more convenient and more understandable.
