We can put all the smartphones in one league and iPhone still has its own space. It has revolutionized the way we see and perceive the gadget in our hands. Everything is so magnificent about this phone that others consider it as a benchmark to follow or rather copy if we can put it right. The queues that we see whenever a new version of the iPhone hits the stores stamps on it undisputed authority in the smartphone world. Don’t go by sale figures as Apple never wanted to be a part of the number game.
Apple iPhone is the kind of all smartphones and iPhone 5S is the latest offering in a bid to retain the crown that Apple has been holding since the launch of the first iPhone. The new phone sets Apple miles ahead of its competitors as being the best ever smartphone manufactured with a faster processor and host of new features.
Apple iPhone 5S is its attempt to reclaim its ‘king of smartphones’ crown. As they say it is the ‘best iPhone ever’. Apple has done the job as 5S twice as fast as its predecessor and comes with an improved camera and a host of new features. In fact the phone has come with the biggest improvement in biometric authentication with the Touch ID. Let us now go deep into the features of this awesome phone and also look at the new iOS7 that powers it.
- Visual Appeal – You feel something special in your hand as soon as you touch this phone. As with most of Apple’s S phones this phone looks the same as iPhone5 with small changes in colour options with the addition of gold option apart from white and silver while the black has been toned down to grey. It still has the 4-inch screen and diamond cut aluminium body that gives it that premium feeling and puts it above the flimsy smartphones that compete with it. The aluminium rear sits absolutely flush with glass panels that sit at the top and bottom. It’s angular, timeless design makes it stand out. At 112g and 7.6 mm thickness it is elegant and slim.
- Features and Functionalities – iPhone 5S is powered by Apple’s 64 bit A7 chip and that is powered by the all new iOS7 operating system that makes it the fastest iPhone ever. You will notice its power while gaming as they feel fantastic with hardly any skipped frame and awesome loading time. Even your regular apps seem perform better than before. Be it with playing high definition videos or multi-tasking you haven’t noticed anything like this before in your life. The Li-Po 1560 mAh battery offers up to 10 hours of talk time, 250 hours standby and 40 hours continuous music both in 2G and 3G modes. It is available in 16, 33, 64 GB variants and comes with a 1 GB RAM DDR3. Some of the exciting new features on this phone include the Touch ID sensor, iCould support, Ultra-Fast Wirelss, iPhoto, iMovie to name a few that very few smartphones can match.
- Camera – The iSight camera that has been newly packaged in iOS 7 gives the camera in this phone a new facelift. One of the significant improvements over the camera in iPhone5 has been the quality of the image in low lighting conditions. The 8MP camera might seem a little out-dated in the number race but it still holds better than the double digit megapixel camera that many smartphones have on offer. With the new UI shooting photos, videos, square and panorama is fun. Videos are captured at 1080p at 30fps with the option of being able to zoom while recording. In the burst mode you can capture multiple shots of the action by snapping 10 photos per second and 120 frames per second in the slow motion mode. The True Tone flash works intelligently with software algorithms to adjust the flash intensity and colour temperature. It uses over 1,000 unique combinations to light your subject perfectly.
There was lot of anticipation and hype prior to the launch of the iPhone5S and this phone has lived up to every bit of the hype. It is not merely a phone but a wonder gadget that would surely be envied by others who don’t have one. The game-changing hardware feature and a radically new operating system puts this phone miles ahead of its competitors. As Apple fans would like it iPhone 5S is the best phone till we get to see a new iPhone in the coming year.
