Official prices for iPhone 5S in 2018

The iPhone 5s has not been officially produced for several years now, and therefore stocks of this model have almost completely run out in all major stores.

From mid-May 2018 iPhone 5s 16Gb can be bought on Beeline for RUB 15,990 RUB 8,670 .

iPhone 5s 64 GB - RUB 8,700.

IPhone 5s has become the most common Apple smartphone in Russia, and this despite the fact that after it Apple has already released three subsequent 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 identical in appearance. The same dimensions are length, width, thickness and even weight.

They are distinguished by the button “ home" If in an early model it is simply concave mechanical button with a branded square inside, then in the 5s they added a Touch ID scanner. 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. The modified version of the regular “five” now has a dual flash LED.

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

At 5s added golden color, and black was changed to more light shade- grey.

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” under 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 for brighter, more saturated photos both 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 often, in photographs you can see a decrease in disturbing glare, more details are visible in dark rooms, and if you need to shoot text from a white sheet of paper indoors, the text seems 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 detection 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. The high performance of the new hardware also allowed the camera to shoot four times slow-motion video 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 use cloud memory. Nothing has changed in the RAM; 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 use 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. The iPhone 5S is in many ways better than the previous version, but all this does not negate the fact that the regular “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 that fit 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 did not surprise us 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 directions to allow 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 perfectly 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 a great 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 Android models, 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 color gamut and increased anti-glare filter efficiency. 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.

Mobile networks

A mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to communicate with each other.

GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is designed to replace the analogue mobile network (1G). For this reason, GSM is often called a 2G mobile network. It is improved by the addition of GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), and later EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technologies.	GSM 850 MHz GSM 900 MHz GSM 1800 MHz GSM 1900 MHz
CDMA CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) is a channel access method used in communications in mobile networks. Compared to other 2G and 2.5G standards like GSM and TDMA, it provides higher data transfer speeds and the ability to connect more consumers at the same time.	CDMA 800 MHz CDMA 1700/2100 MHz CDMA 1900 MHz
CDMA2000 CDMA2000 is a group of 3G mobile network standards based on CDMA. Their advantages include a stronger signal, fewer interruptions and network breaks, support analog signal, wide spectral coverage, etc.	1xEV-DO Rev. A 1xEV-DO Rev. B

Instruction Set Architecture Instructions are commands with which the software sets/controls the operation of the processor. Information about the instruction set (ISA) that the processor can execute.	ARMv8-A
Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.	64 kB + 64 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.	1024 kB (kilobytes) 1 MB (megabytes)
Level 3 cache (L3) L3 (level 3) cache is slower than L2 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L2, is much faster than system memory (RAM).	4096 kB (kilobytes) 4 MB (megabytes)

Sensors

Different sensors perform different quantitative measurements and convert physical indicators into signals that a mobile device can recognize.

Main camera

The main camera of a mobile device is usually located on the back of the body and is used for taking photos and videos.

Sensor model Information about the manufacturer and model of the photo sensor used in the device's camera.	Sony Exmor RS
Sensor type
Sensor size Information about the dimensions of the photosensor used in the device. Typically, cameras with larger sensors and lower pixel densities offer higher image quality despite the lower resolution.	4.89 x 3.67 mm (millimeters) 0.24 in (inches)
Pixel size The smaller pixel size of the photosensor allows more pixels per unit area, thereby increasing resolution. On the other hand, a smaller pixel size may have a negative impact on image quality when high levels photosensitivity (ISO).	1.498 µm (micrometers) 0.001498 mm (millimeters)
Crop factor The crop factor is the ratio between the dimensions of the full-frame sensor (36 x 24 mm, equivalent to a frame of standard 35 mm film) and the dimensions of the device's photosensor. The indicated number represents the ratio of the diagonals of the full-frame sensor (43.3 mm) and the photosensor of a particular device.	7.08
ISO (light sensitivity) ISO indicators determine the level of light sensitivity of the photosensor. A lower indicator means weaker photosensitivity and vice versa - higher indicators mean higher photosensitivity, i.e. best ability sensor work in low light conditions.	32 - 2500
Diaphragm	f/2.2
Focal length Focal length is the distance in millimeters from the photosensor to the optical center of the lens. The equivalent focal length is also indicated, providing the same field of view with a full frame camera.	4.3 mm (millimeters) 30.43 mm (millimeters) *(35 mm / full frame)
Flash type The most common types of flashes in mobile device cameras are LED and xenon flashes. LED flashes provide more soft light and unlike brighter xenon ones, they are also used for video shooting.	Double LED

Despite the fact that Apple presents each of its new smartphones as ideal, even the biggest fans of the Apple brand understand that they exist in model range iPhone is both strong and weak devices. In this article we have to answer the question of what the 2013 flagship phone is, the iPhone 5S.

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 on both external and internal changes to this model. What's new in S-ke? There are many modifications and here are just the largest of them:

• improved technological process for manufacturing the case
• new processor
• improved camera
• Touch ID
• iOS 7

As you can see, there is a lot to talk about. IN this review Let's talk in detail about these and less significant changes in Apple iPhone 5S, and also analyze its pros and cons. Let's start the description, of course, with the design.

Appearance

So, as we mentioned above, externally the 5S, at first glance, looks exactly like its predecessor - the iPhone 5. Thin aluminum body, silver side edging, original back panel: below and above there are glossy stripes in bright colors - black or white, covered with tempered glass, and between them there is a matte “center” of a discreet shade - gray or silver. And, of course, it stands out matte surface shiny "apple".

But if you look closely at the back panel, you can see that the flash looks a little different, and if you look more closely at the front, you notice a much more serious difference. The Home button looks different - the one located under the display. All iPhone history this key looked the same, and in the 5S it lost the square outline depicted in its center, but received a nice border around the perimeter, and also... it had a fingerprint scanner 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 came up with a model in a new color - white and gold. Finally, a “fun” change to the traditionally strict iPhone color scheme! By the way, the black-gray and white-silver models have also undergone some changes - the silver has become a little, and the gray has become noticeably lighter.

And finally, about external changes, which you won’t notice no matter how much you look at them (yes, such a paradox) - an improved technological process for applying paint to the matte body and side edging. The fact is that from 5 onwards the application literally fell off. This was perhaps the worst “bug” of the iPhone five, and all users suffered from it, even those who diligently packed the device in a protective case. It seemed that even if the five just stood beautifully on the shelf, the paint on it, too, would certainly crumble little by little.

Fortunately, Apple did not pretend that the problem did not exist and quickly took appropriate measures to fix it and voila - the paint does not peel off on the iPhone 5S. Moreover, the Apple giant has also worked with the buttons; they are pressed more tightly and clearly, and they sit more securely in the case. This is not to say, of course, that everything in the top five was based on their word of honor, but the body of its successor was made of much better quality.

Some users even say that the iPhone 5S has more weight and feels more solid in the hand. If it seemed so to you, then to the question - how much does the iPhone 5S weigh, we have an amazing answer for you - 112 grams, the same as the five.

The iPhone 5S has the same dimensions in all three “dimensions” as its predecessor: width – 5.86 centimeters, length – 12.38 cm, thickness – 0.76 cm.

The location, type of sockets and connectors on the S are the same as on the 5 (with the exception of the Home button, but we’ve already said everything about it). How many speakers are there in the iPhone 5 S? Again, just like the fifth one - there are two of them, one transmits voice and is located above the display, the second is for speakerphone, listening to music, etc. - on the bottom right.

Display

What is different about the iPhone 5S display? It has remained virtually unchanged - 4-inch diagonal, resolution 1136x640 pixels, pixel density - 326 ppi. However, why change anything if the clarity is excellent, the viewing angles are as wide as possible, and the brightness margin is sufficient.

The color rendition deserves a special compliment - all shades are bright, but natural, unlike, for example, the display of one of the 5S's main competitors - a smartphone Samsung 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 to comfortably solve all the 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 on paper and watch movies on a huge plasma, no “shovel” will save you.

Hardware and software

The iPhone 5S was the first phone to be equipped with a processor with a 64-bit architecture, but this step was met with very mixed reactions. Maybe now mobile applications began to adapt to this architecture, but at the time of release such a solution was more likely a foundation for the future than an improvement needed by 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 of RAM also remains 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 specifications and with less modest parameters? Speed iPhone work 5S is fast, everything runs very smoothly and without freezes. Some flagship competitors do not have such clear operation even on 4 cores. And all because competitors operate on Google Android and do not have the opportunity to optimize the platform for hardware, but Apple is working on its “native” iOS year after year, and the results are making themselves felt.

However, in the case of the iPhone 5S, things didn’t turn out as smoothly as usual. S became the first smartphone to come out with iOS version 7 pre-installed. iOS 7, then and still now, is the largest platform update in history. And it’s not just about new features - just what is the long-awaited “curtain” worth? quick access to the most frequently used functions, but also in a complete visual revolution. Of course, such drastic changes took time to take root, so there were some barely noticeable lags in the first versions of iOS 7, but, one way or another, they were most noticeable on the S-ke, and both four could be updated to this version , and iPhone 5.

How much more powerful is the new A7 processor than the A6 that came with the 5? As Apple claims, it’s doubled, in fact, the same is confirmed by benchmarks, but as for the obvious difference for the average user, it will only be noticeable in really “heavy” applications, like iMovie and 3D games. Well, as for the speed of performing light and medium tasks, the difference between the work of the A6 and A7 is measured literally in fractions of a second.

By the way, the iPhone 5S is also equipped with an M7 coprocessor; it is responsible mainly for motion sensors and allows the main chipset to rest on tasks such as counting steps. This “rest” leads to more economical battery consumption, which means battery life increases.

As for 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 was the first i-smartphone in which you did not need to enter a password to unlock it; you just had to touch the Home button.

It must be said that at the time the S was released, other flagships were already working 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 fingerprint 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 purchase applications in App Store, that is, in fact, the scanner replaces two passwords - unlocking and Apple ID. In general, very convenient.

Cameras

Sensor in iPhone camera The 5S remained the same - 8 megapixels, like the fifth iPhone, but the pixel size was increased and the aperture value was reduced, which made it possible to obtain higher-quality footage in low-light conditions.

In addition, Apple invented new outbreak True Tone, which also works to improve the quality of night shots.

Well, there are minor improvements - 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 the photos taken with the A and the 5S, especially if the shot was not taken at daylight, but not very good conditions illumination

New features have also appeared in video mode, the coolest of which is the slow motion function with a frequency of 120 frames per second. Of course, this is unlikely to be useful for ordinary users, but the thing is definitely funny; after all, practical meaning is not always needed, sometimes you can have some fun.

Concerning front camera, there’s nothing special to say here, it shoots quite well, but not noticeably better than the top five.

Autonomy

The S-ki's battery capacity 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 powerful a processor. Nevertheless, it seems that the not very enlarged battery copes. Apple smartphone The iPhone 5S, like the 5, will last a day in active-moderate mode. Very good battery life 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 said that Apple has both weak and strong models. Who is the hero of this publication?

I think from the general “warm” tone of the review you understand that we place the S in the second category, and this is justified. There are a lot of changes and the iPhone 5S demonstrates excellent characteristics.

What is good about this device, and how does it differ from its predecessor? First, Apple fixed the bugs technological process, so if the 5 wears out very quickly, the iPhone 5S will delight you with its impeccable appearance 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, lag-free work. Thirdly, a camera that opens up new possibilities in low light conditions. And finally, Touch ID. And these are not all the positive changes, but only the most important ones.

If you want to find significant disadvantages of the iPhone 5S, then you will probably have a hard time. The only thing I can complain about is the small diagonal, but, as we have already said, this is a very subjective drawback.

So is the iPhone 5S worth buying? If you have any other younger iPhone model, of course, if you buy the S (even in comparison with the 5), you will feel the difference. However, there is one thing. 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 for the very successful fifth series. Externally, the SE is almost identical to the 5S, but its hardware is almost as powerful as that of the 6S. That is, the SE “does” even the six, but costs less.

The average price of an iPhone SE is 26,000 rubles, an iPhone 6 is 36,000 rubles. However, the iPhone 5S can be purchased for 18,000 rubles (all prices are for the 16 GB version). In general, it all comes down to the size of your wallet, the 5S is, of course, a great smartphone, but the SE is several orders of magnitude more powerful, so if your finances allow, it’s worth getting the special version. Do not allow? Take the iPhone 5S and rest assured that you are buying a really cool and powerful device.
