The difference between 5S and 6. How to visually distinguish different models of iPhones

Every year, global manufacturers of high-tech gadgets please us with new smartphones, tablets, computers, smart clocks, surprise that "what else has no name", but in the near future will be very popular and in demand. I would like to touch on your article as many representatives of new technologies as possible, but for obvious reasons to do this could not. Today it will be about smartphones. I understand that it is trite, but even a banal will be when I say that I want to compare the iPhone 5S and 6s. But do not worry, I tried to make this article very informative and unusual!

It has already been said so much about the characteristics of these phones, that almost any person who never kept in the hands of the iPhone, knows what the camera he has and how many cores has a processor. But as I called my article "Fair Overview Instituteing Apple iPhone 5S Smartphones and Apple iPhone 6S", I will have to quickly run through the main characteristics of the data of the devices and start with the elder.
I will start with a minus, because, in my opinion, he is here one - the diagonal of the screen. Four inches for the current canons are very small! Competitors from Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony diagonally 5 inches, in my opinion, is the most relevant.

Well, now good. On the advantages of the Apple iPhone 5S operating system, you can talk a lot, but IOS7 information is so much that I'll just say that it is a little easier Android, it's good or bad, solve yourself. Apple's processor A7Inets 2 kernels, I believe that "apples" are right, they do the focus not on the number of cores, like Korean and Chinese competitors, and rest in general ergonomics. RAM is also a bit, 1 GB, but also enough to quickly visit the Internet, smooth operation of games and labor-intensive programs. The capacity of the accumulator is average, 1560 ma-h, but in general, for the day of full operation, there is enough.

The camera has a smartphone 8 million pixels, juicy snapshots, color transmission excellent. The maximum video resolution of 1920x1080, there is a slow motion function, optimization was performed, but visual errors occurred during its use are still. Apple takes quality, not quantity, look, the processor is only 2 kernels, 1 GB RAM, but the smartphone is not inferior to its direct competitors. About the characteristics you can talk more, but I called the main and finish. Compare iPhone 5S and iPhone 6S recommend everyone before buying, because there is no particular sense to overpay for a new model.

Well, now let's turn to the new model - Apple iPhone 6s. In general, I have always associated with something new in the name of Apple. Let's remember how 4 and 4s, 5 and 5s were distinguished, there are also changes here too. Of course, there is no disappearance between Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6S, but according to the parameters S exceeds its younger brother. And so, finally grown up the screen! We all waited for a long time, the new iPhone, starting with the ruler 6, the screen was 4.7 inches. There is still a pack of Plus, but I do not advise you to take it, as he simply does not fit into your pockets, and wearing it's very uncomfortable in your hands. The 6S IOS 9 operating system, the previous one was foolish, often issued mistakes, in the nine these shortcomings were corrected and optimized. The camera has become 12 million pixels, the pictures are better, but again, the abyss between 5s is not observed.

The A9 processor has 2 kernels, fast and powerful, works noticeably faster. RAM has become 2GB. From the changes, I will note a more powerful processor, the volume of RAM and the chamber, the smartphone began to work faster. The rest of the difference, if there is, then they are minimal. Comparison of the iPhone 5S and 6S photo shows the explicit advantage of the latter.

Applying to the conclusion, I will say that the difference in price is tangible, approximately 15-20 thousand rubles. In other matters, if you take the HTC One M9, which differs from M8 with the camera, the iPhone 6S has become much better than the fifth. The screen became more, the colors became juicy. The processor began to process information faster, the smartphone as a whole became more productive. Comparison of iPhone 5S cameras and iPhone 6s also showed significant changes for the better. The pictures have become more detailed and saturated.

Sorry, but in conclusion I want to offer you a spoonful of funya. Apple iPhone is, first of all, brand. For several years he has been held under the control of the minds of the youth of the whole world, they are bought for status and not even use half of the potential. I have always been indifferent to such fashionable toys and when choosing a smartphone, I would buy HTC One M8, which is cheaper than twice.

And so, I want to convey to you that the market now offers us a huge number of gadgets, through which we also, like with iPhone we will sit on the Internet, play games, take photos and ... and that's it! See all! Of course, I do not dissuade you to buy Apple products, if you have money - take and do not think! But you agree, it is a pity to overpay about 20 thousand rubles just for the brand.

This is the review and comparison of two legends in your segment. I hope the information in this article was interesting and useful for you, thank for your attention!

Your Evaluation of the Smartphone:

When developing camera Apple again did not make a step towards an increase in the number of pixels. But iPhone 6 received an improved autofocus and detector of persons. iPhone 6 PLUS differs from iPhone 5S and 6 presence of an optical image stabilizer.

Significant changes occurred in the possibilities. video shooting. The video shooting speed using iPhone 6 can reach 60 frames per second, while the iPhone 5S is capable of only 30. SLO-MO mode has been able to slow down to 240 frames per second, and this is twice as slower than the top five. But it will especially please the installation of a professional cinematic stabilizer of an image that will allow to remove truly exciting clips. Also, the iPhone 6 has received a continuous autofocus, which in seconds changes the focus point depending on the surrounding events. Such a function is good not only for artist lovers, but also for a home archive, for example, when shooting children who are able to move in space with amazing smashes.

Apple took care of selfi lovers: front-camera Received the "Burst" mode, which allows you to make up to 30 calf in a row. Also improved the quality of video shooting using the FaceTime Camera.

Speed \u200b\u200bInternet Connection The iPhone 6 promises to reach 150 MB / s. Both smartphones support LTE, but the sixth generation received additional support for Volte. According to preliminary data, the Internet on iPhone 6 will be 3 times faster than on iPhone 5S. And do not forget about the possibility of auditing the subscriber using Wi-Fi compound.

What else is the difference?

Apple Pay. - What is your iPhone 5S users lose. Thanks to the iPhone 6 NFC-chip, you can use instead of a credit card. The system is not only extremely convenient and avoids many unnecessary televitations, but also has an increased level of security and protection of personal data.

Another difference between iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S - availability barometerwhich will take on many features, including the measurement of ambient temperature.

iPhone 6 became the first apple smartphone with possible memory volume in 126 GB. At the same time, the 32-GB model in the ruler is not. While iPhone 5S retained a classic trend: 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Supplies equipment It will remain unchanged for all smartphones of the series. All three smartphones will work under the ready guidance of the IOS 8.

Where to buy and what are the prices

Apple iPhone 6 32GB
Apple iPhone 6 Plus 32GB

The event, which was waiting for millions of Apple Corporation Fans, was accomplished! The company from Cupertino introduced the expected by many iPhone 6, as well as its large "copy", which, in addition to the increased display, received other characteristics and functions. However, the Apple smartphones on the "Cupertin" presentation did not limit itself. The "apple" company demonstrated its vision of the wearable electronics in the form of Apple Watch. True, many presentation visitors, and ordinary users expected to see something more. But Apple, strictly speaking, showed everything that he wanted: two large smartphones and companion hours. We will get acquainted with smartphones closer and deal with the difference between iPhone 6 from iPhone 5S and 5.

If we generalize all changes in the new iPhone 6, then we can say that Apple has made a bet on an increase in the diagonal of the display of profit. 4-inch smartphones on the market are not so much. Basically, Niche "small-screen" smartphones are engaged in budget decisions. For content consumption, users need large displays. Apple decided to take into account the current trends of "smartphon-building" and released two devices with 4.7 and 5.5 inches diagonals (11.9 and 14 cm) in a completely new design. At the same time, both smartphones work on the new apple processor and for the first time in the history of the company are equipped with 128 gigabytes of memory.

Updated design and dimensions

The design of the new iPhone 6 was not a secret. More than once in the network, snapshots of the device housing. If you compare the "sixth apple" housing with iPhone 5S, then, first, it has become noticeably thinner. Recall the thickness of the iPhone 5S is 7.6 millimeters, and the iPhone 6 thinner 0.7 mm is 6.9 millimeters. The iPhone 6 Plus model with a 5.5-inch display diagonal has a thickness of 7.1 mm.

Secondly, Apple retreated from the "square design" of the fifth model and followed the entire filling of the smartphone into a thin metal case with rounded edges and plastic inserts in the form of narrow strips. Strips on the ultra-thin case are unforgettable: the antennas of the communication module are under them.

Thirdly, the weight of the smartphone in comparison with the iPhone 5S increased by only 17 grams. At the same time, the dimensions of the device were noticeably enlarged. The "sixth generation" iPhone with a diagonal of 4.7 inches boasts the following dimensions: 138 × 67 mm. As for the iPhone 6 Plus, its sizes amounted to 158 at 78 millimeters with a weight of 172 grams. Recall that the "five" has dimensions of 123.8 × 58.6 millimeters.

In addition to increasing the size, Apple has worked on other elements of the smartphone. If the facial part of the device remains the same, then the ends have changed noticeably. The "sixth iPhone" body lost sharp edges and became streamlined, and the power button moved from the top of the smartphone to the right side. The dynamics grill also changed: the holes for the sound output are larger and are located in one row. At the same time, Apple refused the so-called Falishdamika. As a result, on the bottom face of the smartphone there is only one row of holes under the speaker on the left side.

Like the fifth generation, the sixth generation of the iPhone will be produced in three colors - dark gray, silver and golden.

New Iron and Display

At each new Apple smartphone establishes the newest processor of its own production. The company from Cupertino did not violate this tradition and equipped its flagship with a 64-bit Apple A8 processor, which is made according to the 20-nm technical process. Representatives of the company talk about the high performance and energy efficiency of the new processor. So, A8 is 25% faster than the A7 processor installed in iPhone 5S. At the same time, the processing of graphics has improved by 50%. The A8 processor is dual-core and operates at a frequency of 1.4 GHz.

In addition, Apple updated the M8 coprocessor, which can track the motion of the smartphone in the vertical plane. In addition, at the presentation, Tim Cook stated that the processor of the current generation of the smartphone is 84 times faster than the first iPhone processor.

Apple, like Google, does not equip your smartphones with a slot under the memory card. This time the company decided to release new iPhone to the market with 128 gigabytes of built-in memory. True, unlike iPhone 5S, there will be no "six" with 32 gigabytes of memory. In the markets from September 19, 2014 will be available "iPhones" from 16/64/128 GB of internal memory.

The new flagship of the "apple" company is released in two versions: with a diagonal of the display of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. The iPhone 6 display resolution is 1334x750 pixels. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus has a Full HD-resolution that Apple calls Retina HD - 1920x1080 pixels. The density of dots per inch in comparison with the iPhone 5S in 4.7-inch smart has not changed - 326 ppi, but the 5.5-inch phable has a density of 401 inch.

New "old" camera

Apple decided to turn a smart device into a media log, equipping the new flagship chamber with amazing characteristics. The resolution of the main chamber remains unchanged since the release of the "Fourth Iphon". All the same 8 megapixels, but made absolutely new Focuspixel technology.

The iPhone 6 Plus model received optical stabilization, but the older brother got the same digital-stabilization. Eye of the new sensor with aperture F / 2.2 and pixels of 1.5μm sizes slightly from the housing. The camera "Apple Flagship" allows you to shoot Time-Lapse rollers with a speed of 120/240 frames per second, as well as Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames / s.

Battery life, price and other chips

Apple did not reveal the battery capacity of both iPhone, but told about increasing the battery life of the flagship. In all parameters, both smartphones bypassed the previous generation. iPhone 6 Plus and at all became a record holder. For example, in comparison with the "five" time in the audition mode, audio increased by 2 times, from 40 to 80 hours. It can be stated that the difference between iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S in terms of energy consumption is very significant.

The sixth generation of iPhone supports NFC, as well as more than 20 LTE and Volte bands. In addition, the company equipped the wi-fi-module smartphone with Wi-Fi 802.11ac support. The new iPhone 6 works on the IOS 8 Operation, which can be downloaded in a week.

True, the main surprise for many buyers was the cost. In the US, prices remained at the same level: iPhone 6 can be purchased from September 19, 2014 at a price of $ 649, and the iPhone 6 Plus is 749 dollars. If you enter into a contract with a cellular operator, then the price for the 128-gigabyut version of the iPhone 6 Plus will decrease to $ 499.

In Russia, a slightly different pricing policy. Apple iPhone 6 will be on sale September 26 with a price tag at 32-42 thousand rubles, depending on the amount of integrated memory. As for the "senior" model, its cost will be 37-47 thousand rubles. But those who want to buy the iPhone 5S can be delivered: the price of the "five" will drop to 25,000 rubles.

No one has a doubt that the iPhone 6 is the top of the "apple" smartphone. However, the need to change the iPhone 5S on the "six" is not as obvious, however, as the change of any other iPhone on the iPhone 6, and not on the iPhone 5S, which is still officially sold. Let's compare two of these popular smartphones. And start with the price.

In connection with the weakening of the ruble and price increases, perhaps nothing play such a serious role in choosing, as the cost of the device. At the moment, in the official Apple store, the basic version of the iPhone 6 with 16 GB of the integrated memory is sold for incredible 53,990 rubles, while the iPhone 5S "initial configuration" costs 43,990 - exactly 10 thousand cheaper. Meanwhile, some large retailers, such as Yulmart, offer iPhone 5S with 16 GB of memory for 31,990 rubles, and with 32 GB for 34,990 rubles. Thus, the question of the need for the purchase of the "six" becomes even more sharp, because we will repose as a result of a total of 22 thousand rubles! Is it worth it?

Design issues

Apple radically revised the appearance of the device, offering the public a new "streamlined" design. The device came out neat, elegant, smooth - there is no acute angle in it. In addition, it is thinner than the predecessor: 6.9 mm against 7.6 mm, but heavier 129 grams against 112 g, respectively. As for the iPhone 5S, it continues the ideas of another fourth generation. It is impossible to say that his design is worse - he is just another, and many are preferred to this, somewhat rough compared to the "six", appearance. Materials and build quality do not cause complaints in any case. However, the iPhone 6 is more, and there are many of those users who do not like it. They complain about being managed with a smartphone with one hand become inconvenient and dream that in 2015 Apple will expand the IPhone line of the mini-version, which will also be convenient as iPhone 5S and its predecessors.

Identical displays

The iPhone 5S has a 4-inch display with a resolution of 640 x 1136, and in the iPhone 6 - 4.7-inch with a resolution of 750 x 1334. The density of pixels at the same time is the same - 326 PPI. Image quality is also the same. In essence, we have the same display, only the dimensions are different. But in the "six" it was decided to abandon Gorilla Glass 3 in favor of more durable tempered glass. There is no dispute, the larger display of the iPhone 6 is better suitable for games, surfing on the Internet, watching movies. Apple's competitors have long understood this by filling out the market with smartphones with displays from five inches. However, as we said earlier, a lot of four inches grabbed. Yes, watching the movie on the iPhone 5S is not as nice as on the "six", but the smartphone itself is more compact and easily lies in a small palm.

"Stuffing", performance and working hours

iPhone 6 received the latest 64-bit Apple A8 processor with two cores and clock frequency of 1.4 GHz. According to the company's statements, it has become 50% energy efficient than Apple A7, which is built. As a result, the battery life of the "six" is larger than the iPhone 5S - in the call mode, the novelty wins two hours from the predecessor. And an enlarged battery capacity (1810 mAh against 1560 mAh) here, because the display also has grown.

However, back to productivity. Both smartphones have only 1 GB of RAM, which is not enough for today's standards - even in budget Android-smartphones that cost almost 10 times less iPhone 6, you can meet 2 GB of "RAM". In addition, as practice shows, 1 GB of memory is not enough to comfortably work with multiple tabs in Safari. Add to this the fact that the more background tasks perform the device, the less the RAM remains, and the output seems obvious: changing the iPhone 5S on the iPhone 6 in this context there is no point. iPad Air 2 has already received 2 GB of "RAM", it became an iPhone 7 I will definitely receive a second gigabyte, so it's reasonable to wait for it, but for now, to leave (or take it, if you have not yet taken) iPhone 5S, since a tangible increase in performance you do not care Will not see. According to the test GeekBench 3, the "six" is running forward just 245 points, which can only notice, although Apple promised to 50% faster graphics and 25% faster calculations.

As for the movement of the movement, Apple M8 has become much cooler of its predecessor Apple M7, which is installed in the iPhone 5S. It deals with a large number of indicators and knows how to determine the type of physical activity - walking, running, cycling, etc. Also with the help of M8 "Six" learned to determine the height above sea level.

Improved in iPhone 6 and communicative opportunities. After receiving the Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE modem, iPhone 6 became compatible with LTE CAT.4 networks. According to the research conducted by the Megaphone, the new iPhone 6 added in the data transfer rate in 4G + networks of the metropolitan region by 26% compared to the iPhone 5S. Developed speed reached 129 Mbps, while iPhone 5S issued 102 Mbps. In ideal conditions, the "six" is capable of accelerating to 150 Mbps, so the threshold speed was almost achieved.

In addition, the iPhone 6 received the support of Volte technology, which allows you to make voice calls without leaving the LTE network. And this means the high speed of establishing the connection and the high quality of the transmitted speech with a wide dynamic range. Recall that in September 2014, MegaFon demonstrated the work of Volte in its networks, and the representative of the company announced its readiness for technical launch.

Support Wi-Fi 802.11ac and NFC - Another IPhone 6 exclusive chip. However, if you do not plan to use the Apple Pay service, then you can forget about it.

And iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S have 16 gigabytes. However, with 32 GB of memory you can only buy an iPhone 5S, and from 64 GB and 128 GB - only iPhone 6.


Camera

Both smartphones have an 8-megapixel chamber with Lights F / 2.2. In both chambers, a matrix with pixels of 1.5 micron is installed. And both cameras are called isight. At first glance, there is no difference. However, in the "six" faster autofocus, there is digital image stabilization and improved SLO-MO video recording mode with 240 FPS frame frequencies (against 120 FPS in iPhone 5S). At the final pictures of the breakthrough, the camera is obviously not the "chip", for which it is necessary to give preference to the "six".

Verdict

Both smartphones are modern devices. If you are important for you performance, camera and ease of handling a device with one hand, then overpay 20 thousand for iPhone 6 is hardly worth it. If you want more recent design, the screen is more, support for LTE Cat.4 and Volte, as well as Apple Pay and extended fitness capabilities, then your choice is iPhone 6. However, the question is whether these "buns" are worth 22 thousand rubles, Each of you must answer myself.

If I am going to buy an iPhone on the secondary market, and before Apple apple did not deal with generally, not benazy and learned visual differences between Apple Smartphones models. So immediately understand what an iPhone in front of you and no seller will encourage you around your finger.

Most often, confusion arises with the so-called "Escami", which go out after global smartphone updates. They have a very similar appearance with the previous model.

Let's start with the most common models in our market, with which every third goes. Early earlier devices are found not so often.

iPhone 5 / iPhone 5S / iPhone SE

Many Internet players are literally clogged with these iPhones with a 4-inch display diagonal. Externally, it is quite simple to distinguish them, but you need to know what to watch. It is on such devices that fraudsters are trying to deceive buyers, issuing an older iPhone 5 for the iPhone 5S or "ECH" for iPhone SE.

Screen size, dimensions, color and weight of devices are almost the same. Of course, the iPhone 5 was not sold in gold, and 5s in pink gold, but the wizard from the ripper will be able to install the housing of any color to the desired model, so it's not worth the color.

How to distinguish iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S

The main difference of the iPhone 5 is the lack of the touch ID sensor. The Home button has a pictogram and does not recognize fingerprints. This can be seen as externally, and in the absence of the Touch ID section in the settings.

Another demonstration point will be a flash on the back of the device. The older model has a circular flash, and the iPhone 5S is oval with two LEDs.

How to distinguish iPhone 5S and iPhone SE

On this often come across the owners of Apple's technology with experience. Externally, the models are practically not distinguished.

Some see more beveled faces on the ends in the SE model, but the changes are difficult to notice even with direct comparison, so it is not necessary to hope for it.

The main indicator for us is marked on the back cover. The new iPhon has the "SE" index. Having, due to the possibility of replacing the case, do not forget to check the model number in the settings of the device itself.

iPhone 5C.

A bright plastic case is immediately distinguished by a more affordable smartphone from the top three of previous models.

Model number: A1456, A1507, A1516, A1529, A1532.

iPhone 6 / iPhone 6S

Here lies another potential place for fraud. Often, the "six" is trying to issue an "esk" and throw extra 8-10 thousand to the price of the device.

It is possible to distinguish between the models by the rear lid. The new iPhone 6S has a symbol of "s", still in the IPhone 6S lineup there is a color rose gold.

We do not trust one after one by the appearance, check the model number in the settings and the presence of 3D touch from the iPhone 6S (you need to hardly undermine the application icons to call the additional menu).

Model number: iPhone 6 Plus A1522, A1524, A1593, iPhone 6S Plus A1634, A1687, A1699.

iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus

Last year, Apple demonstrated iPhone 7, visual differences quite a lot. On the lower end of the housing in the novelty there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack. From behind the model, you can recognize the size of the chamber module and the antenna strips from above and below.

In the color line of the iPhone 7 at once, three new colors: black onyx, black matte and red.

Drive volume: 32/128/256 GB.

Model number: iPhone 7 A1660, A1778, A1779, iPhone 7 Plus A1661, A1784, A1785.

Remember that the enclosures of the iPhones are easily changed, and in China have long produce different covers in the style of new models for old iPhone. Visual differences will only help navigate, and for accurate identification of the model look for its number on the back cover, box and in the IOS parameters ( Settings - Basic - About this device).

Now you can safely go to our flea market and choose a new iPhone.
