Advantages and Disadvantages of iPhone 5S

The advantages

This device comes with various new advantages compared with previous-generation iPhone, ie in terms of the camera and also the processor.

1. 64-bit processors. iPhone 5S be called the world's first smartphone that comes in the form of a 64 bit processor chip Apple A7. Apple claims that this processor has a data processing and graphics performance two times faster than its predecessor, the Apple A6 on the iPhone 5.

Apple's also prepares the iOS 7 operating system following applications that are able to take advantage of 64-bit architecture of the iPhone 5S. The phone is also capable of running titles 32-bit software designed for its predecessor.

2. Companion processor to monitor the motion sensor. In addition to the main processor A7, Apple has also contributed to a processor companion named M7. His job is specifically to handle inputs from a variety of sensors on the iPhone, including the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.

This companion processor reduces the processing load on the main processor and open up the possibility of utilization by navigation applications and health, for example the Nike + Move.

3. Camera "iSight" new. The unit camera on the iPhone 5S has a sensor size is 15 percent larger than its predecessor. The larger sensor also increases the size of each photodiode (pixel), which in turn improves the quality of the resulting image.

This concept is similar to the technology "Ultrapixel" from HTC. However, Apple does not cut or increase the resolution of the camera, but still retains the figure at 8 megapixels.


Completeness is not less interesting is the two-color flash light that is able to automatically adjust the white balance of flash output in order to comply with the environmental light conditions.

In addition, there is also the ability to record slow-motion video with a frame rate of 120 FPS at 1280 x 720.

4. Fingerprint scanner. This one feature related to security. iPhone 5S able to take advantage of the user's fingerprint instead of a password to login, including the lockscreen to unlock the iPhone.

Services such as Apple's iTunes also supports user authentication through fingerprint scanning.

Fingerprint sensor integrated on the iPhone 5S in the "Home" on the front. Now the button is made of a material that is scratch-resistant sapphire, and is able to scan the user's fingerprint from various directions.

Deficiency

After knowing the advantages of these devices, it helps me discuss the shortcomings of the iPhone 5S. Here are 5 iPhone 5S weakness, as quoted from Cnet.

1. The screen size is not changed

When competitors were vying to bring a smart phone with landscape display as large as possible, Apple did not budge with the current size.

IPhone 5S screen size of the iPhone 5S unchanged, ie both 4 inches. The size is only half an inch bigger than the iPhone 4S.

2. Faster processor

Yes, with a faster processor would certainly make iPhone 5S more powerful. However, it was only a big role so that applications and games run more smoothly.


How about the other devices operational? Unfortunately, for most of the operations of the device, the processor does not contribute much.

In addition, because of the greater power and a doubling of transistors on a processor, it will consume a larger battery.

3. No increase battery life

Probably, most people do not need a faster processor, provided that the daily operations are fulfilled. Which is required by many of today's consumer is a larger battery capacity. Unfortunately, it is not accommodated in Apple's new iPhone.

4. No models with greater capacity

iPhone 5S currently only comes in capacities of 16, 32, and 64 GB. Unfortunately, he was not armed with a larger capacity than that, like 128 GB.

5. Not too many new innovations

Features of a fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S is getting the most attention from consumers. This happens because this is an innovation that is considered good.

Unfortunately, these innovations only come from the side of the feature alone. No other innovations that really make consumers feel amazed, like when the iPhone was launched for the first time.
