Difference between iPhone 5S and iPhone 4S
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. The iPhone 4S predates the iPhone 4S and was launched after iPhone 4. It was officially released in October 2011.
Apple Inc. has launched it latest phone, the iPhone 5S. The phone was launched in September 2013 after weeks of speculation. After the release of iPhone 5S, iPhone 5 has been discontinued, but Apple has announced that iPhone 4S will still be available in the market.
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 phone itself hasn’t changed much, the device itself retain 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.
The iPhone 4S was an update that was released after much anticipation in October 2011. It was the fifth generation of the iPhone and succeeded the iPhone 4. In terms of appearance, the phone resembles the iPhone 4 in many ways. However, it is heavier. The iPhone 4S offers improved hardware and software systems compared to its predecessors. The iPhone 4S retains the 3.5-inch LED-backlit Retina display, capacitive touchscreen along with the pixels. It weighs around 140 grams. The iPhone 4S also supports CDMA versions. The iPhone 4S was the first iOS device to offer a dual-core processor and was offered with the new iOS 5, which will now be upgradeable to iOS 7.
The phone is now only available with 8 GB of internal storage capacity. It also upped the primary camera to 8 MP and bettered the video recording quality with additional features. One of the primary features that Apple launched with the 4S was Siri, Apple’s speech recognition software. It allowed users to control the phone using vocal commands and allowed the software to retain answers making it eerily human like. Siri was one of the main reasons for many people upgrading to the 4S. The 4S also offered a faster dual-core processor, more RAM and a slightly better battery. However, the faster processor sacrificed some standby time on the phone.
