Best Smartphone Ecosystem
The iPhone is still a beautiful phone
And iOS is more functional than ever. The redesign of the software makes it feel fresh
Even though the phone looks more or less the same as last year. TouchID really works
And it's a huge convenience

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Feels outdated in the face of competition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: 아이폰5S 지문인식 후기지난 10월 25일 국내에 정식 발매된 아이폰5S도 사용한지 벌써 1달이 훌쩍 넘어 버렸네요. 아이폰5S가 전작과 비교해 달라진 것이 있다면 성능이 보다 좋아졌다는 것과 샴페인 골드 색상이 추가된 것 그리고 지문인식 기능이 추가 된 것이 아닌가 생각됩니다.저는 SK텔레콤을 통해 아이폰5S를 사용하고 있는데요. 아이폰의 다양한 기능 중 개인적으로 가장 편한 기능은 지문인식 기능이 아닌가 생각됩니다.손가락 지문만 있으면 비밀번호를 입...
Abstract: 사실 저는 스마트폰에 비밀번호, 패턴 잠금을 설정하지 않습니다.가장 큰 이유는 매번 잠금화면에서 비밀번호를 입력하거나 패턴을 그려줘야하는게 귀찮아서 말이죠. 그래서 남들이 보면 안되는 사진이나 정보는 폰에 잘 넣지 않을려고 합니다. 차라리 잠금화면 자체가 없었으면 좋겠습니다.그런데 지난달 출시된, 아이폰5S부터는 터치ID라는 지문 인식을 지원합니다. 이제 아이폰도 지문인식을 통해 잠금해제가 가능해졌는데요.이번에는 한달동안 꾹 참고(?) (리뷰할려고) 써...
Abstract: 아이폰5S를 사용한지 벌써 20여일이 지났습니다.보통 아이폰에 S가 붙으면 'Speed'를 떠올리지 않을런지요? 아이폰5S는 전작인 5와 외관은 동일하지만, 성능면에서는 크게 개선되었다고 합니다. 그런데 체감은 하는데, 이 것을 공유하기 위해 '표현'할 방법이 녹록치 않아 몇가지 테스트를 진행했습니다.과연 벤치마크에서 고화질 게임과 영상에서 LTE에서 카메라에서 어떠한 퍼포먼스를 보일런지요?1. 벤치마크 좌 : 아이폰5S / 우 : 아이폰5아이폰5S와 ...

Abstract: 지난 일주일동안 사용하고 있는 아이폰5S로 촬영한 사진을 공유 해드리겠습니다.아시다시피 아이폰5S 후면부에는 800만 화소, F2.2 조리개, 듀얼플래시의 iSight카메라를 탑재하였습니다. 또한 센서의 면적이 15%정도 더 커져서, 전반적으로 노이즈가 감소하였다고 합니다.사진 촬영은 제가 살고 있는 춘천 외곽에서 진행하였습니다. 사진 촬영시 아이폰5S의 기본 카메라 앱을 사용하였고, HDR, 필터 등을 사용하지 않았습니다. 그리고 폰에 있던 사진을 P...

Abstract: 아이폰5S와 함께한 3호선 SKT 광대역LTE 속도 측정! SKT 광대역LTE 속도는?지난 10월 31일 SKT는 서울 전역에 1.8Ghz 광대역LTE 서비스가 가능하다라는 보도자료를 배포했습니다. 9월30일 처음 마포구에 광대역LTE 서비스를 시작하고 약 1달만에 서울 전지역 광대역LTE 서비스 구축이 완료됐습니다.물론 아직은 음영지역이 있을 것이라 예상되지만 과연 3호선 라인에서 어느 정도의 광대역LTE 속도를 보여줄지 궁금해서 미팅으로 이동하던 중...
Abstract: 아이폰5S, 갤럭시노트3, G2, 베가 시크릿 노트 어떤 제품의 보안 기능이 좋을까?최근 출시되는 스마트폰을 보면 보안을 위한 기능을 담고 있습니다. 조금 늦은 감이 있긴 합니다. 스마트폰, 태블릿 등을 보면 사용자 개개인의 중요한 정보가 가득 담겨 있습니다. 연락처, 사진, 이메일은 물론 보안카드, 공인인증서 등등 유출될 경우 크나큰 피해를 안겨줄 수 있는 정보까지 가득 담겨 있습니다.더욱이 해킹으로 인한 피해 소식을 어렵지 않게 접할 수 있는 만큼 ...
Abstract: 설정 - 일반 -Touch ID 및 암호에서 지문인식을 설정할 수 있다.이번 아이폰5S가 기존의 아이폰5와 가장 큰 차이점은 바로 지문인식 센서를 가진 홈버튼 그리고 카메라 듀얼플래시로 카메라는 기본으로 많이 사용해 왔지만 지문인식 기능은 이번에 처음 도입된 기능인지라 해외에 동영상을 보니 고양이발도 인식을 하길래 호기심이 폭발 한번 테스트를 해봤습니다.아이폰5S 지문인식 등록하기.설정 - 일반 - Touch ID 및 암호로 들어가면 일단 숫자로 암호...
