Best Smartphone Ecosystem
The iPhone is still a beautiful phone

And it's a huge convenience

Is enough to warrant an upgrade

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Feels outdated in the face of competition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: 애플은 지난 9월에 아이폰5S를 공개했습니다. 기존의 블랙과 화이트 컬러모델과 더불어 골드모델을 선보였는데요. 국내에서는 지난달 25일, 정식으로 출시하였습니다.저 개인적으로는 아이폰3GS와 4S를 메인으로, 4인치로 길어진 아이폰5를 잠시 서브로 사용한 적이 있는데요. 아이폰 역사상(?) 이제까진 없었던 컬러를 선사한 제품이 바로 아이폰 5S라고 생각합니다.그런 아이폰5S가 저의 수중에 들어왔습니다. 일단 함께(?) 개봉하시지요~!1. 한층 슬림해진 ...

Abstract: 지난 2013년 10월 25일, 애플이 국내에 아이폰5s/5c 판매를 시작했다. SK텔레콤과 KT 등 이동통신사는 일제히 판매 및 개통을 시작했으며, 애플 리셀러 매장 프리스비는 아이폰5s/5c 언락폰을 판매했다. 애플의 새로운 아이폰은 오프라인 판매 이전 온라인에서 많은 사람의 관심을 끌었다. SK텔레콤과 KT가 출시 이전 진행한 예약 판매 물량 5,000대는 각각 7분, 13분 만에 동이 났으며, 한동안 예약 판매 홈페이지에 접속도 할 수 없었다.사...
앞에서의 결과처럼... iPhone 5S 의 배터리 성능은... 3D 구동을 제외하고는기존 iPhone 5에서 확실히 진일보한 배터리 효율을 보였습니다... 4인치의 작은 액정이기는 하지만가장 밝은 밝기를 가지고 있음은 물론 배터리 용량역시 1500mAh으로 타 기기들 대비 작은 것을 감안할 때, Wifi, 동영상 배터리 효율은 상당히 뛰어나다 평가 할 수 있습니다. 문제는 3D 배터리 효율과 일체형 배터리... 물론, 인터넷, 동영상등은 적당한 밝...

Abstract: 사실 개인적으로는 아이폰5S를 통해 애플의 디자인 DNA를 읽을 수 있다고 말할 정도로 파격적이라 생각한다. 단지 기존과 비슷한 디자인에 비슷한 위치에 놓여있고, 티가 별로 나지 않는다고 해서, "뭐야 아이폰5랑 아이폰5S랑 뭐가 바꼈어? 그냥 정말 미세하게 달라진 것 정도만 겨우 찾아냈쟈나!!" 라고 말할 수도 있겠으나 절대 그게 아니라고 도리질 치고 싶다.뭐. 그냥 대놓고 애플을 찬양하자면 터치ID 지문인식은 애플의 재치가 돋보이는 방식이라고 생각한...
Apple iPhone 5S는...'한발 앞선 생각(Forwarding Thinking)의 슬로건을 어느 정도 근접했다.' 라는 생각이 듭니다.이번에 탑재된 프로세서 A7칩의 64비트 지원...그리고 보조 프로세서의 M7 칩...이는 앞으로 나올 아이폰6 및 아이패드(태블릿 계열) 제품들을 어느 정도 예상할 수 있었습니다.지금의 기존 휴대전화기기들의 최고 메모리는 3GB입니다.A7 프로세서의 64비트는 3GB를 뛰어넘은 4GB 이상이 장착이 가능하며, ...
Abstract: 아직 국내 출시일까지는 시간이 남긴 했으나 우연치 않게 좋은 기회를 얻어 아이폰5S를 직접 사용해볼 기회가 생겼다. 모델명은 A1530으로 블랙 모델이다. 골드 샴페인이었으면 더 좋았을텐데... 그래도 이게 어디냐 싶다. A1530의 경우 국내 들여오는 모델과 동일하기 때문에 직접 나노심을 꼽아 사용해봤다.앞서 아이폰5S와 아이폰5C에 대한 월납입금액을 계산한 포스팅은 이 곳에서, 아이폰5S의 스펙은 ht...
Abstract: 애플(Apple)의 2013년형 스마트폰 아이폰5S와 아이폰5C가 오는 25일 국내 출시된다. 매년 하나의 신모델을 발표했던 애플이 올해는 2개의 제품을 동시에 발표했지만, 아이폰5C는 기존 아이폰5를 대체하는 모델임을 감안하면 최신 기술이 도입된 2013년형 아이폰은 '아이폰5S'가 분명하다.이미 애플의 아이폰5S/5C 출시국가 확대 소식에 맞춰 국내 시장에 아이폰을 판매했던 SK텔레콤과 KT에서도 아이폰 출시 계획을 밝힌 상황이고, 국내 제조사들 역...
Abstract: 아이티투데이 김문기 기자] 오는 18일부터 SK텔레콤과 KT가 애플 아이폰5S 예약판매에 돌입한다. 정식 출시일은 오는 25일이다. 담달폰의 별칭을 가진 ‘아이폰5'보다는 상당히 빠르게 국내 출시되는 셈이다.이에 앞서, 기자는 애플 아이폰5S를 직접 사용해 봤다. 영국계 온라인 유통업체 익스펜시스를 통해 판매되고 있는 해외판 아이폰5S다. 모델명은 A1530으로써 국내 들어오는 모델과 동일하다. 즉 SK텔레콤과 KT의 나노심을 넣어 바로 쓸 수 있는 ...
