Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor
Best Smartphone Ecosystem
The iPhone is still a beautiful phone

Even though the phone looks more or less the same as last year. TouchID really works
And it's a huge convenience

The iPhone 5 design is still sturdy and attractive

The iPhone 5S delivers an improved camera
A nifty fingerprint sensor

Particularly the slomo feature
Is enough to warrant an upgrade
Beautiful design
Super fast processor
Great camera

Very fast processor
Good battery life
A7 processor makes for speedier navigation through iOS 7

The camera is good
But its flash is a disappointment. Battery life isn't good
Especially compared to some of the behemoths out there. And in places
IOS 7 feels unfinished
Or poorly thought out
Not significantly faster than 5C
Not enough new features
Battery life is no different
A 4.3-4.5-inch model wouldn't go astray
The fingerprint sensor is imperfect as a standalone authentication tool
And Apple doesn't (yet?) support two-factor authentication
Dual-band 802.11n and 100Mbps LTE aren't bad at all in the here-and-now
But they might be feeling a little dated by the t
External design is identical to that of the iPhone 5
Including a 4-inch screen that looks downright tiny next to Android competitors. For now
The fingerprint sensor only works with Apple apps. The 64-bit A7 processor and M7 motion-tracking chip don't ha
Lingering issues with Apple Maps
No NFC
No larger screen option
Relatively small screen
Below-average battery life
Limited camera features
Virtually identical design to iPhone 5
Display too small for some
Non-expandable
No real design upgrade
Still waiting for a bigger screen
IOS7 is still playing catchup
No real improvement to battery life
Small screen for an industry-leading smartphone
A 4" display on a flagship smartphone in 2013 seems so old fashioned
Screen still feels small next to other highend phones
Small screen for an industryleading smartphone
No option for larger display
Relatively expensive offcontract
No WiFi 802.11ac support
No 128GB option
No 'Swypelike' keyboard
Apple and iOS developers have yet to dream up truly innovative features. Still waiting for Siri to reach her full potential
4-inch phones are starting to feel small
IOS is far from perfect
Insensitive touchscreen (probably defective unit)
True tone flash is slow to capture image
Incompatible apps
No change in design and screen tech
The iPhone 5S deserves to be the best smartphone of the year. You could debate that there is no innovation
Storage options haven’t changed. Small number of A7- and M7-optimized experiences at press time. Not as essential an upgrade as the last one.
Similar to previous iPhones
Feels outdated in the face of competition
Touch ID usage is limited
Dual-tone flash doesn't help much
No 802.11ac support
Despite a larger battery
Realworld battery performance too often falls below Apple's best case estimates
With potentially major problems in cellular calling talk time
And similar drain with cellular data. LTE service remains inconsistent between neighb
The smaller display bothers me a bit
But Apple's hardware is stunning and the tradeoff for apps and functionality is worth it to me. If the iPhone 5s had a 4.3 to 4.7 display
An IR port for remote control capability
And Qi wireless charging then I woul
In low light conditions (20 lux and under)
Edges are sharp but details are lost
Strong luminance noise in low light conditions
Fingerprint scanner isn't as good as it should be
Major OS changes are often decent
More often abysmal
Battery life isn't competitive with top Android phones
Not the best phone on the market after launch
Poor black levels
Poor contrast ratio
Resolution could be better
Screen size could be larger
Non-extendable internal storage
Not enough to warrant an upgrade for current iPhone 5 users. Android flagships are just as good as the iPhone these days.
Abstract: 아이폰5s를 아이폰6s 스타일로! 3월 개최될 예정인 애플 행사에서 4인치 아이폰의 컴백이 예상되고 있습니다. 이름은 iPhone SE라는 루머들이 나오고 있는데요 과연 어떤 스펙으로 출시될까요? 저는 현재 4.7인치 아이폰인 아이폰6s를 사용하고 있지만 4인치 아이폰을 잊지 못해 아이폰5s를 저렴하게 구입해서 소장 중입니다. 우연히 아이폰5s를 아이폰6s 스타일로 바꿀 수 있는 하우징을 알게 되어 구입 후 교체해봤는데요 재미삼아 보시면 좋을...
Abstract: 사실 기술 상으로 A7 프로세서에 대해서 여러 말을 할 수 있겠다. 64비트의 생태계는 마련됐는가 부터 과연 이 정도의 스펙이 필요한 것인가. 또는 뭔가 새로운 시장을 창출해낼 것인가 등등등. 정말 많은 말들을 할 수 있겠지만 아직까지는 애플을 견제하는 것인지 아니면 현재 상황에 매몰돼 얘기하던지 또는 애플이 잘못된 선택 또는 이른 선택을 했는지 아무튼 정말 뜨거운 감자로 부상한 것은 사실이라 할 수 있겠다.하지만 정작 중요한 얘기는 나오지 않...
Abstract: 뭐. 그냥 대놓고 애플을 찬양하자면 터치ID 지문인식은 애플의 재치가 돋보이는 방식이라고 생각한다. 그간의 통념을 뒤바꾸고 애플의 강점을 잘 살려냈다고 평가할 수 있다. 아이폰에서 가장 많이 쓰는 전면 홈버튼을 선택함으로써 보안과 접근성을 모두 살려냈기 때문이다.그간 지문인식은 대부분 후면부에 도입된 바 있다. 모토로라 아트릭스도 그랬고 팬택 베가 LTE-A, 베가 시크릿 노트도 마찬가지로 후면에 집중했다. 정답은 아니겠으나 지문인식이라는 새로운 기능...
Abstract: 이번 포스팅에서는 아이폰5S의 디자인 및 개봉기를 해보겠다. 찬조출연으로 아이폰4S와 아이폰5도 동석했다. 박스부터 꼼꼼하게 살펴보자.아이폰5S의 개봉기 영상도 마련해봤다. 유튜브 영상으로 이동해 감상할 수 있다. 개봉기뿐만 아니라 디자인까지 살펴볼 수 있다.일단 아이폰4S부터 아이폰5S까지의 박스를 함께 보자. 윗면을 살펴보면 나름대로 아이폰의 변천사를 한 번에 살펴볼 수 있다. 물론 개인적인 생각일 뿐 애플의 디자인 방향과 맞는지는 모르겠다. 박스...

Abstract: 들어가는 말오리지널 iPhone부터 최신 iPhone 5s까지 매년 계속 구입해 왔던 사용자로서, 이번 iPhone 5s의 경우에는 출시 당일 새벽 4시부터 줄을 서서 구매했기 때문에 이전 iPhone들과는 다른 감회로 벅찬 느낌입니다. 작년 iPhone 5는 애플이 예판을 했기 때문에 줄을 설 필요가 없었습니다.모공에 이미 언급한 것처럼, 이번에는 샴페인 골드 iPhone 5s를 구입하려고 했지만, 애플 스토어에 불과 3대에서 4대 정도 풀렸기 ...
Abstract: 아이폰5에는 3가지 모델이 있습니다. 아이폰5, 아이폰5C, 아이폰5S. 혹시 이 모델들의 차이를 아시나요? 겉모양으로 간단 비교해서 아이폰5 뒷면에 반짝반짝 커버를 씌운 것이 아이폰5C, 아이폰5의 홈 버튼에 지문인식 기능을 추가한 것이 아이폰5S라는 정도로만 알고 있습니다. 아이폰5S 국내 출시가 2013년 10월 말쯤으로 알고 있는데 넉 달이 지난 지금에서야 직접 만져 볼 기회가 생겼습니다. 책상 위에 아이폰5S 박스를 올려 놓고 작업을 하다가 우...
Abstract: 지난 1월 23일, 일명 123 대란 때 아이폰5S를 건졌습니다. ㅎㅎ제가 있는 곳 조건은 현금 8.4만원에 67요금제 3달 유지 이외에 조건은 없었네요.가입비, 유심비, 부가서비스도 없었으니 중박 이상은 된거죠 ^^;;아이패드1은 써봤지만, 아이폰은 처음이라서 조심스럽게 찍어봤습니다.많이 보셨겠지만 그래도 이쁘니까~ ㅎ 박스도 이쁘네요. 앞면도 이뻐요. 이쁩니다. 기계가 이쁠 수 있다는 건 아이폰5S가 처음이네요. ㅎㅎ 구성품은 깔끔하고 단촐하게! 한...
Abstract: 애플이 아이폰을 이 세상에 선보인지도 어느덧 6년이란 세월이 흘렀습니다. 그 동안 아이폰은 6번의 변신을 거쳤고 2013년 9월 드디어 7세대 아이폰이 세상에 발표되었습니다.올해는 아이폰에 있어서 상당히 큰 변화가 있었던 시기인데, 아이폰 출시때부터 고수해오던 UI를 완전히 뒤바꾼 iOS 7이 나오기도 했고, 그 동안 단일 모델 출시, 전세대 모델 가격인하라는 전략을 유지해오던 애플이 처음으로 두 가지 모델을 동시에 발표하기도 했습니다. 또 아이폰 5와...
