Only two releases a year and has led to Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, transforming the iPhone. If in September 2012 Apple's smartphone, which had remained with the same screen size (3.5 inches) for over five years grew to 4 inches, this time the novelty is a kind of younger brother ( read cheap ).At least it has been announced the iPhone 5c, which has the same features than 5 , but with a polycarbonate finish instead of aluminum.
The same strategy was followed with the iPad in the last presentation and now Apple has done something similar with its flagship product. The splitting between iPhone 5s, the most advanced model, and iPhone 5c reflects Apple's desire to broaden its audience and stomp on emerging markets. Both terminals will iOS 7, the latest operating system version launched in June , whichwill be available from September 18 . Two days after the new devices will go on sale in 11 countries, United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK.
iPhone 5s, the real new generation
With aluminum housing and a fine finish Apple style, the iPhone 5s happens to be the true next generation of the device that continues the storyline. While not everything has changed. The screen is four inches and the resolution does not change (and neither did the 4 to 4s), remaining at 1136x640, with a density of 326 pixels per inch, the same as in version 5 .
The hardware itself has jumped. The new A7 chip incorporating the terminal works with 64-bit architecture. Apple has promoted this development noting that the power is on par with that of computers. The speed of the CPU and graphics processor will be twice as fast as in the previous model.
The camera is another new iPhone 5s. The eight megapixel have not increased but has grown the size of the pixel sensor, in order to improve the quality of the photographs. It also incorporates the flash True Tone, which adjusts the color and intensity for pictures that are less artificial.
Apple has optimized software and applications to save energy. With these settings, the company says that the iPhone 5s endures 10 hours talk time on 3G. The terminal also has a visual effects previously only available to computers, as stated officially, which is a key factor in the deployment of video games.
Another new iPhone 5s is a coprocessor, called M7 , which collects information from various sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. Thus, it is able to release the CPU load and battery consumption moderate. Developers can access through a data APU M7, useful primarily for sport and health applications.
What has attracted the most attention, however, has been the Touch ID technology . Although it had been rumored that Apple submitted fingerprint recognition, no longer a differentiating factor with other devices. The start button, made from sapphire crystal and capacitive touch sensor, can record the identity of a finger in high resolution images. After that, you can use your fingerprint to unlock the terminal or shopping at iTunes. The technology works regardless of the angle at which the finger is placed.
This functionality has aroused misgivings about privacy , as there is little information disseminated on the fingerprint. This data is not stored on the servers of Apple but will be only in the mobile terminal each. Developers can not access this feature to incorporate into their applications, as stated by the company.
As for connectivity, the iPhone 5s LTE has improved, allowing up to 100 Mbps downstream.Storage capacity varies depending on the price. Apple has set a benchmark $ 199 for 16 GB version, 299 for the 32GB and $ 399 for the 64 GB. But these figures include two-year contract with an operator, normally subject to higher rates. However, the free terminal in its economic model, would sell for 699 euros .
iPhone 5c, false low cost
Much had been said that Apple would present a cheaper iPhone to target a new audience and jump in emerging markets. The hopes and predictions have led to the model 5c cheaper than the 5s but not much more.
The new terminal is to be an iPhone 5 with hardened plastic casing and shiny . The hardware is almost the same and come with new iOS update 7. In fact, the previous model has been discontinued when Apple normally still selling at a reduced price after presenting its latest.
Economically seems a good move, although the organization China Labor Watch has spoken ofexploitation in the factories . If the company retained the iPhone 5 would have to sell it cheaper.With the launch of iPhone 5c achieves lower the cost of producing a model whose market price would be forced to reduce anyway. However, it retains the iPhone 4s as its cheaper smartphone that will be available. Royalty will cost 399 euros.
The size and screen resolution are equal to 5 and 5s. Contains the previous model A6 chip and camera, as well as other specifications, is preserved. The main change, apart from the polycarbonate shell, is the range of colors that are available for sale. 5c The iPhone will be available in blue, green, pink, yellow and white . Its price contract (announced by Apple) ranges from 99 to $ 199 with operator, depending on whether the capacity is 16 GB or 32 GB. To buy free will to put on the table around 599 euros .
