Difference between iPhone 5S and iPhone 5
Key difference: iPhone 5S is the latest smartphone by Apple. It features Apple OS 7 and is available in 3 colors: white, black and gold. iPhone 5 was the predecessor of iPhone 5S. It originally came with Apple iOS 6 which will now be upgradeable to 7. It includes a 1.2 GHz dual core Apple A6 processor, PowerVR SGX543MP3 and 1GB RAM.
iPhone 5S is the newest phone launched by Apple Inc. The phone was launched in September 2013 after weeks of speculation. Apple executives sought to do something new with this version, as the company’s latest releases had often been labeled as stale.
iPhone 5S has been launched in three variants: 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB; each of which are available in three colors: silver, space grey and gold.
The whole itself hasn’t changed much when compared to iPhone 5, the device retains the 4-inch retina screen and its thin and light body. However, additional features of the phone include a fingerprint identity sensor; a better and faster camera; an operating system built specifically for 64-bit; Sapphire crystal in the home button and protecting the iSight camera.
iPhone 5S is the successor of the iPhone 5, which was first launched on September 21, 2012. It was slicker, thinner and lighter with even more packed features, as compared to the previous iPhones. iPhone 5 originally came with Apple iOS 6 which will now be upgradeable to 7. It includes a 1.2 GHz dual core Apple A6 processor, PowerVR SGX543MP3 and 1GB RAM. iPhone 5 has been discontinued in light of the release of iPhone 5S.
The phone was available with non-expandable 16, 32 or 64 GB internal storage capacity. The problem with the new OS was that many features that work only with the iOS 6 did not work in certain territories and Apple had a rolling program that it said will take time to implement across more regions. The phone could also act as a hotspot and can share internet connection over WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB. Similar to the older versions, iPhone 5 is equipped with Siri that allows the user to operate the iPhone via vocal commands. However, Siri has been improved to and supports additional features such as being able to make restaurant reservations, launch apps, make twitter updates, search the internet for queries, etc. iOS 6 features several new and/or updated apps, which includes Apple Maps and Passbook. Apple Maps has faced hostility as does not execute properly and has also been known to give wrong directions. The Passbook app is able to retrieve documents such as boarding passes, admission tickets, coupons and loyalty cards. The phone also offers a new charging port, which is much smaller and more compact compared to the old chargers. They will also require a converter if you want to use them with the old charger, docks and other accessories. The phone has also shifted the headphone jack to the bottom of the phone.
