First Impressions: iPhone and iPhone 5s 5c - a couple that ... - TeK.sapo

The new iPhones came today to the Portuguese market, debuting at midnight sales especially in online stores operators and Apple’s own, risking only Optimus to open a physical store in Lisbon despite the temporal and economic environment that does not encourage big spending.

Yet the truth is that the turnout turned out to be significant in the early hours, proving that consumers continue to be interested in investing from the first moment the new gadgets. And also proving that the brand Apple keeps brightness and customary élan.

The new smartphones have arrived also to TeK, a courtesy of Vodafone, and within hours it was possible to demonstrate some of the features and functionality that had already been anticipated in many rumors that anticipated the launch and the first news after the announcement on September 10, when it confirmed the launch of the iPhone and iPhone 5s 5c, a model that inherits many features of the previous model iPhone 5.

After all, the cheapest model – but not low cost as had been mooted in the press – is what brings more differences in appearance, while maintaining the same hardware. Differentiation starts right on the package, which is similar to the style adopted by Apple for iPods: transparent minimalist packaging, where it joins the phone (with a cover to mimic the initial screen), charger and headset.

The phone itself leaves an appearance more metal instead of a colored plastic cover. The version we “happened to” experience is yellow, but there are also white, pink, blue and green, which can be combined with cases where holes provide a fun combination of colors. At least Apple thinks so.

For the rest there is not much to reinvent. The 4-inch Retina display and A6 processor make the experience compared to predecessor iPhone 5 is similar, especially with the help upgrading the operating system to iOS.

The dimensions and size remain, although i iPhone 5c is a little more “full-bodied” and rounded, resulting polycarbonate cover drive. And even those who like Cellphones metallic finish may feel more comfortable this new packaging, which is softer and does not become so cold.

The buttons are located in the same locations, as well as cable slot power / communication and input to the headset . But the buttons themselves are slightly different, abandoning the + and – buttons for volume control squares. At the base there is noticeably less room for sound output, which is noticed when playing music, but not much.

Apple ensures that the battery life is 10 hours talk time on 3G and 8 hours of Internet use, the same as the previous model and the new iPhone 5s, but this is an issue that can only be validated with a few more hours of experience.

on iPhone 5c differences are mainly external, iPhone 5s is completely different. The new flagship is almost twin brother of iPhone 5 in dimensions and weight, the metal finishes and all buttons and slots except the Home button, which now houses the Touch ID technology, the fingerprint reader that is highlighted as one of the main new features in Apple’s line of smartphones.

This security system allows each user to have a unique and personal access without risk of being used with the cut finger as had been speculated.

The button consists several layers of elements, where a sensor detects the structure of the finger, obtaining high resolution information, and surrounded by a ring of steel that helps detect the presence of the finger, and protected by a film of sapphire crystal, which confers resistance.

The configuration of the fingerprint reading takes time, being made by parties, and requiring the placing and lifting your finger several times and make some small parties to own Home button.

On the inside are also the rest of the differences that justify the upgrade price over the 5s. Read up the processor.

The new A7 chip, designed by Apple, is the first processor from a smartphone to support an architecture like that of many computers and consoles, 64-bit, and that team also Air and iPad in practice means that the phone has a processing power superior to previous generations.

Apple warrants feel the difference in duplicate: the performance is twice that of the A6, with the advantage Additional to be accompanied with the M7 Coprocessor for processing data from gyroscope, accelerometer and compass, freeing the main processor and helping to save battery.

Yet Apple uses the same specifications of battery life that remained iPhone 5c. And we had no time to prove the difference.

In the short time of experimentation can still peek functionality of the cameras and the iPhone 5s 5c, both with a sense of 8 megapixels and an opening aperture f / 2 2, but with a difference in flash, which is in 5s 5c while True Tone keeps the LED flash, with obvious differences in the images of interiors.

These are just first impressions of a still short experience with the new iPhones. It remains to validate the performance with the fourth generation networks – the new iPhone bring broader support – and demonstrate improvements in performance and battery. But that is for another day.

Who have not read anything about the prices of the new iPhone 5s and 5c can consult the various reports that TeK today already put online, but it’s worth going through the above analysis prices of unlocked smartphones and with loyalty to the networks of the three operators.

And if you have already experienced one – or both – new models, still enjoy the comments to share your own notes.
