people recently went fastidious: what kind of phone or go out – everyone is disappointing: the “Masterpiece” in the camera is still not done, smart coffee in the morning is not cooking, not darning socks, with the child and the dog for a walk and do not walk little different from the previous one. What he has twice the power that he has three times better screen and four times the speed of data transmission – no one cares, and should not be: it was too bad, kind of like just enough (actually none) .

Accordingly, all possible starts grumbling about the lack of innovation, new ideas, about the general stagnation of the smartphone market and the lack of the great visionaries. With Jobs, you know, this was not. Not surprisingly, the output iPhone 5s caused a particularly strong wildness. Where are our innovation? Pathetic fingerprint sensor – and that all that sposben Cook and his crew? Urgent return of Steve – he will bring back magic!

Apple shares sank, analysts have promised to lower demand for the new iPhone (and got in line to buy a couple), the media is against this background grumbled addition to the above topic – in general, the picture around the iPhone 5s there was bleak. There was no excitement. In the meantime, she is not the first time Apple has provided customers the opportunity to pre-order the new smartphone, saying it that the demand will be a record high and Foxconn simply can not cope with such a huge volume. This is where it gets really interesting: the iPhone 5s is good or bad? Is there enough innovation in it?

course, and so we would not pass by the announcement of the new device and would not miss a case to test it. But such contradictory input data makes it particularly fascinating and interesting. So, we have iPhone 5s 64 Gb, model A1457, Color Space Gray. Come on? Let’s go!

? # Design and stuff

Let’s start with the fact that the new iPhone has changed packaging. In place of the old strong box c isometric image of a smartphone has come even more minimalist, but less severe: the image on her iPhone screen is rotated to the user with a variety of bright and flat icons. Say good-bye and the amount of iOS 6, hello two-dimensionality of the iOS 7.

But the design of the machine … As it was just a year ago, the differences of the “five” from 4s were visible to the naked eye – try not to notice lengthen the body. C 5 and 5s harder: Dimensions smartphone has not changed one iota, as well as its weight – by the way, for the first time in the history of ayfonostroeniya. Although some differences are only visible from behind – there is a single LED flash was replaced by a double, and slightly changed the eye of the camera – and the front: on the site of the usual round button with a square boasted a fingerprint sensor, covered with sapphire crystal. All – visual changes were over.

So all in all apple lovers office product line managers can be slow to change their “five” to “five Es as the dollar” – if you do not look closely, no one would guess that you have in hand an old, taken from the production model. In general, the status will not be affected.

Oh, no, still have to buy a new one. The fact that there are three iPhone 5s color performance – and only one of them coincides with one of the former.

The white, that is, sorry, silver iPhone 5s on the “back” on the top and the bottom is white inserts, and between them – an array of bright anodized aluminum. The Golden that many to reduce the degree of pathos called “iPhone champagne”, all the same, just anodized aluminum painted in light golden. In iPhone Space Gray color glass inserts for all black, black and aluminum got a darker shade – actually the same Space Gray. Metal inserts on the sides of the same color as the mean “back».

Recall that the iPhone 5 is met in two colors: silver, white and asphalt-black. And silvery white just the same like the same 5s, with black “five” is much darker gray hero of our review, and the gold iPhones before the 5s met except that the Arab sheikhs who bought white and altered to your taste and to your own purse.

Overall, about design and nothing special to say: as you were, so you stayed. So why “es” – as the dollar.

? # Fingerprint Sensor

probably biometric sensor – the most notable of the differences between the new model from the old one. It’s no joke: the button “home”, which remained unchanged since the first iPhone, has now become a very different and acquired a new function. And it’s quite useful – it speeds up the use of an iPhone and – perhaps – also protects your data: spy password you can, but you have to borrow a finger – well, nothing. That is to say almost nothing. At least harder than podsmotet password.

So the fingerprint sensor is a capacitive sensor that allows you to read the unique pattern of lines of your finger. First of all it is necessary to make a good “sniff” your finger – so he learns it from different sides, and will have fewer failures in the future. By the way, Apple has turned out to make it work significantly more accurate than any of the laptops with the same sensor. There should be a finger led by 3-4 times, and are often missing a single attempt.

So far, the sensor can be used for two purposes: to quickly unlock your smartphone for purchase applications or content in stores Apple. Enter your password on the average once every three or four longer than your finger to touch the button “Home”, so that convenience is obvious. Out of it, this may sound frivolous – think of it, a second saved – but in reality turns out to be a very nice feature. So enjoyable that we may be prepared to advise not even look in the direction of iPhones without a fingerprint sensor.

sensor can remember several different fingers – it will come in handy if your kids, like all the other children in the world, love to play with your phone. A particularly useful that the purchase of applications with your finger and you can ban – this will give you some confidence that your child never spend all of your money in the next toy. Of course, if the fumes still do not know the password of the account iTunes.

In fact, the function of the type whose work is better to see once than a thousand words – so that watching videos.

? # Screen

mean the obvious characteristics of the display in the new iPhones completely changed compared to that established in the previous generation. It’s the same IPS-matrix with diagonal 4 in., 1136h640 and total pixel density of 326 dpi. Claimed Brightness – 500 cd / m ² , contrast – 800:1. Viewing angles are amazing, perfect clarity, the picture on the screen looks great.

You could stop at this, but just for fun we dug a little deeper and tested displays iPhone 5 and 5s for the full program. And found out that these displays are not exactly the same – in short, in our copy of the new iPhone and the matrix itself was a bit better than the old, and it was set up a little more correct.

For example, the maximum brightness of the new model is slightly higher: 480 vs. 430 cd / m ² . In this case, the luminosity of the black field is almost the same – thus contrast with iPhone 5s in the end is also higher – about 900:1 vs. 810:1. It is important that this is not the dynamic contrast ratio, and static totally honest – no tricky “uluchshayzerov” Apple has, unlike many competitors. And even if it were – in any case we have tested so as to have guaranteed an honest result.

was a little less uneven illumination: a display of the old iPhone, it is about 10%, for the display of a new – more than acceptable 5%. The color gamut is practically no different – in both cases covered 100% of the space sRGB: slight distortion of the shape of a triangle can be attributed to the negligence of our device – recall that we use Spyder4.

Gamma curves were a bit more correct. Not that we were serious claims to the light “blackout” medium-intensity colors in the display iPhone 5. But in the range of iPhone 5s a little more careful, and because the extra money for it will not take – such a change is welcome.

More seriously changed the color temperature of shades of gray: it was lower by about 1000 K, so that the image is noticeably warmer – in this case, it is a good thing. In contrast to the improvement of scales, which is difficult to grasp the naked eye, a warm picture very easy to see – just put the two devices side by side and compare.

Because Apple, obviously, there are several providers of displays for smart phones, we can not rule out the possibility that the difference in performance is not due to the evolution of the total display, but just the fact that our machines were equipped with matrices of different manufacturers. Both displays are, however, very, very good – although we tested iPhone 5s screen was definitely a little bit better.
