The new iPhone is Facelift without vision
Apple developed the iPhone continuing to pursue: Who was happy with the previous models, will now be happier. The iPhone 5 will sell like hotcakes. Great Smartphone. But it lacks a vision, a new killer feature. So Apple is unable to find new groups of users. None of the problems that drive people to Android, Apple tries to solve.
For music now plays elsewhere: On the Samsung Galaxy Note can be notes and scribbles with a pin hold. The Nokia Lumia 920 will be able to operate with gloves, in addition, the camera has a mechanical image stabilizer. Apple's Siri understands questions, but Google Now provides direct answers, no one would have to ask that. Paying by mobile phone Apple has not pursued, or even implemented on the state of the competition. None even when wireless charging it or cheap spiking the memory only when needed (a micro SD card with 64 GB costs 50 euros).
Instead, only to catch up: dual-band 11n heard at high-end smartphones already longer de rigueur. Panoramic photos provide others with long, that was solved by app anyway. LTE comes in three versions, depending only three bands, but it works only with a provider - there are others. With the new features of the navigation and maps app Apple conceals only the omission of Google Maps, with the Android version could not keep up for a long time.
The new proprietary connector forcing owners of additional hardware to purchase adapters, instead of implementing existing standards like MicroUSB or MHL. When the display size, the customer is again set before a single solution to be ideal place to leave him the choice - the Apple may be better even with its own products, such as the four iPod sizes, the three of them in notebooks or two iMac models . Lower prices are expected not at all anymore.
With Evolution, not revolution can live yes - no one seriously expected each year such a huge step as the first iPhone - but the iPhone 5 looks like a resignation to the Android superiority: No step towards truly competitive prices (really) to large displays, perhaps to a second series. No indication that such a revolution, as in the iTunes music and video offerings, was also the general payment comes.
Against Android only the lawyers are used, but not the developers and visionaries. Apple rests on the success of the first generation and the next undisputed well functioning ecosystem with unrivaled huge media offer. After the pithy slogans of the previous years to change everything once again, Apple now only writes "The biggest thing to happen to the iPhone" on the homepage. Even the copywriter lacking vision.
The new connector adapters for the iPhone 5 Lightning first impression and review
First, the typical cable-USB dock is replaced by the new Lightning-USB connector, maintaining the previous price. With it we can connect the iPhone 5 to Mac or PC to charge and / or sync. One possibility almost forced to keep our accessories if we buy the iPhone 5. It starts sending right now, in about three days estimated.
If we want to use our USB cable with 30-pin connectors on the new iPhone 5, we will need an adapter to plug Lightning. Despite having to pay for the adapter, can resultarnos cheap if need several cables. In any case, is sent from October, so we may be a few weeks without being able to reconcile certain accessories.
Finally, Apple offers a spliced cable with which our USB cable - 30-pin dock with the Lightning. One way to save two wires carry over for those who have other previous iOS device. Eight inches long, also start sending from October.
This is the first impression review of camera of the iPhone 5
Specs
At first this might seem the same as the 4S seeing your specifications in the keynote, yes that was an improvement despite the thinness of the iPhone 5 (7.6 mm). And they have sacrificed an increase in line with previous models too thin to change the thickness of the camera. They remain eight megapixels (3264x2448 resolution), the opening is also focal 2.4 (by 2.6 of Galaxy S III or 2.0 of Nokia Lumia 920). The shutter speed is 40% faster than the iPhone 4S, and has a dynamic way to capture pictures in low light conditions and Face Detection of up to ten faces.
Video
Like its predecessor, the iPhone 5 records video at 1080p, although this model with improved image stabilization. The most striking feature (not innovative) is the ability to take pictures while recording video, an option that is already present in almost any high-end Android. Another improvement when shooting movies, but not noticeable in the picture, is that it has added a third microphone with which mute outside noise so that the quality of sound is greater.
Front camera
The iSight camera has been improved considerably. He has gone from being able to record VGA resolution video at 720p. The photos can be of poor quality do nevertheless, given the small thickness of the lens, as with the rear chamber of the fourth-generation iPod Touch. However, it has its own backlight sensor to improve results, and face detection.
Wide mode
In the hours before the keynote was speculation that possibility, and has come to be. And how. As I did some applications, this time Apple has taken the reins and has incorporated this mode the camera of the iPhone 5 (4S will also come to). Thanks to him, we can take stunning photographs that reach 240 ยบ at 28 megapixels, with the help of the gyroscope and the on-screen wizard.
the results
In Apple's own website can take a look at photos taken with the iPhone 5, and view them in full resolution. If 4S camera and seduced us, the depth of field and the level of detail of the iPhone 5 are really impressive.
iPhone 5 first impression first review
The only reason, and because of the previous remaining case width, the new iPhone is still good in the hand, although it's quite a bit, about 1 centimeter longer become yes. Also, it still remains quite good in a hand where the thumb, which for a HTC One X (4.7 inches) and Galaxy Note (5.5 inches) is no longer possible. The elongated display is not only unusual for iPhone users, but also distinguishes itself from similar sized Android smartphones. Usually slightly wider and rounded at the sides fail
Apple is the design language of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S with the metal frame, the hard edges of the glass front and remained faithful. But in small details does the new elegant and sophisticated. For example, when held in two shades back, the middle part silver aluminum (the white iPhone) or graphitfarbenem aluminum (on the black) exists. Comfortable with her falling on the roughened structure through which the iPhone does not feel as slippery as the glass of the iPhone 4S. Only at a closer look you notice the thickness difference: while the metal frame around the phone stayed the same width, front and back are not that far out of it.
Biggest change is the 4-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio. The same width 176 additional lines on the screen brings in height. Get used to it quickly: As a benefit, we felt that trying it out especially in the calendar and in the mail app, where you can lose on the iPhone 4S ever get the overview. For the first time on the iPhone videos show no more black borders, this is fun. The margins you get instead with yet to be optimized for the 16:9 format to see third-party apps - but Apple had cleverly none of them installed on the demo units, so everything was in London chic to full screen size.
In terms of display quality, much remains the same: How the iPhone 4S, the distance between the panel and glass surface is very small, what a quality image. In the highest level, both models radiate very bright, and when viewed from the side the colors change little. The contrast seemed at first glance also equally high. If one next to the iPhone 4S, one notices the wider gamut: In particular, the green is the new powerful, much like with the step on the iPad iPad 2 3rd The tones of a Amoled display, it certainly is not approach. Whether the reflections - as announced by Apple - have reduced, we could not see at first glance.
The new iPhone has built a faster A6 processor along with faster graphics, Apple promises twice the performance. On the surface, we could make no difference in performance to its predecessor because both surface and standard apps run smoothly and perfectly. Some applications such as Pages or iBooks started on the new iPhone but faster, and in the photo app everything went a little faster; ruckzuck triggered the camera.
In the areas provided with nice textures 3D maps for London and New York, we wiped and zoomed without noticeable trailer, the animations were choppy but are already. How much of the speed boost, it actually fails, only a thorough check will be able to show. Also, the faster mobile connection via LTE we could not judge in London.
Of the new panorama function - to many competing smartphones has long been standard - we could not make a proper picture, is in a close demo room lacked a suitable subject. Furthermore, you can not adjust how much the ISO value. The quality of the photos taken at first glance, but made a good impression.
Apple says iPhone 5: Thinner, bigger, faster
By the extra space on the iPhone 5 brings the homescreen now under a series icons more. Apple's own apps already adapted to the new aspect ratio, it shows the Calendar app in landscape mode instead of five in three days. Apps from other manufacturers are edged with black bars to the development engineers to those for the larger display - it should be possible to implement relatively easily, according to Apple.
The new screen utilizes the Apple called in-cell technique, in which you can do without the additional touch-sensitive layer - this allows a thinner panel and according to Apple, a higher color saturation, sharper and less reflection in sunlight.
The iPhone 5 is only 7.6 mm thick. With a weight of 112 grams, it is also 20 percent lighter than the previous model 4S. The battery life of the iPhone 5, Apple has increased slightly by his own account - it has now reportedly up to 225 hours of standby time and about 10 hours of surfing on the wireless or up to 8 hours in the LTE network.
For the first time the iPhone only supports GSM and UMTS LTE also. Unlike in March presented the third-generation iPad, the iPhone 5 LTE radios on frequencies that are common outside of North America. However, it remains unclear for the time being, with which German LTE networks the device is compatible. On a slide Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller showed only the German Telekom. At the same time the iPhone 5 comes in the UMTS network according to the manufacturer at a download speed of up to 42.2 Mbit / s - the iPhone 4S was limited to 14.4 Mbit / s. In addition to Bluetooth 4.0, the new iPhone also includes Wi-Fi connectivity, the first time in the 5-GHz band.
Inside Apple is a new A6 chip which is supposedly faster to two things - the iPhone 5 will open the Pages app, according to Apple in half the time. Moreover, according to Apple, the A6 offers twice the graphics performance of the A5.
The front of the iPhone 5 is similar to that of its predecessor. Unlike Apple's iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 but omitted from the housing to the frame independent and prone to damage glass back. Instead, there are back and sides of the iPhone 5 from billet aluminum.
At the resolution of the iPhone camera, Apple has not changed, and the aperture of f / 2.4 remains the same. However, the chip was improved and should now handle low light better and take pictures faster. As a new software feature, there is a panorama mode for photos up to 28 megapixels and the films can also make frames. Mainly intended for FaceTime video calling camera on the front page now features a resolution of 720p.
iPhone owners have to adjust to another change: The headphone jack goes from the top panel to the bottom - as previously was the case with the iPod touch. An iPhone with infected headphones, you must enter in on the way in the pocket or after removing them not only turn around. There will be new standard headphones feature called "EarPods" and that should have a higher durability and better audio quality.
Completely new is in this generation iPhone and the dock connector, Apple now calls the "Lightning". Instead of the constant over the years, 30-pin connector is now a much smaller connector for use. Practical: The user no longer needs to the top of the charging cable labeled search, but this can plug in both ends. Known audio manufacturers are already working on compatible speakers and docking systems, Apple itself wants to offer an adapter ("Lightning-to-30-pin").
On price changes over the previous few: In the United States costs the iPhone 5 unchanged depending on memory size - 16, 32 and 64 GB are still available - just under 200, 300 or $ 400 when signing a two-year contract. The launch takes place in Germany on 21 September, is a pre-order starting next Friday, 14.09. possible. Austria and Switzerland followed on 28 September. To iPhone contract prices with a German mobile operators are currently no information.
Apple offers the iPhone 5 worldwide in three versions for different LTE networks. The thought for the European market model transmits according to the website in the frequencies of 850, 1800 and 2100 MHz - in Germany, Apple leads accordingly only the LTE network of Telekom to be compatible. The iPhone 5 as expected requires a new nano-SIM card.
The Apple Store now known as the base price for a contract-free iPhone the price of 679 Euro - this probably refers to the model with 16 GB of memory and would be around 50 euros more than the price of the iPhone 4S. To the 32 - and 64-gigabyte iPhone-5 are currently no prices marked in euros. The iPhone 4S with 16 GB now costs 579 instead of 629 euros, the contract-free iPhone 4 with 8 GB in turn decreases of 519 to 399 euros. The Apple Store offers the iPhone 3GS in this country any more.
Apple introduced the iPhone 5
New Screen
The new ratio is 16:9 screen and thanks to it we get to introduce another line of applications on high, with five instead of four with which we have now and all official Apple applications such as suite iWork with Pages, Keynote and Numbers has been redesigned to make it look better. Along with this screen is also improved in color quality with 44% more color saturation and the touchpad is integrated with the display so that there is not much "glass" that separates our fingers, but we played directly giving a greater sense of fluidity and we are really playing and interacting with the content.
Processor and Connectivity
Along with that device connectivity has been greatly improved and the new LTE iPhone has integrated on the same chip as the one used for the 3G so that trade between the two modes is almost instantaneous to avoid prejudicing the speed. To take care of all that screen the new iPhone 5 also incorporates a new A6 processor that Apple says makes the performance and twice the CPU speed and twice the graphics performance for the GPU. During the presentation, Schiller has shown a comparative table with various actions like opening an attachment or upload a file and the whole overall performance is twice as fast.
Battery
The battery is another aspect that has improved over the iPhone 4S, also taking advantage of the extra space provided by the new screen. There is a huge improvement but if it is an evolution and change for the better with what we already had in the iPhone 4S.
Camera
The camera has 8 megapixels, 3264x2448 pixels resolution, backlit sensor, an infrared one camar hybrid filter with 5 lenses that also has the same aperture of f / 2.4 iPhone 4S but enhanced with new dynamic mode for situations without much Light. The new A6 processor is another aspect that complements the camera and not only improves the image capture in low-light situations we talked about, but taking photos even faster and reduce image noise.
Apart from the hardware itself, the software has also improved dramatically with some new features like being able to take photos while recording video and taking panoramic photos from within the application by simply sliding the phone to capture the entire image with a sweep. It has also substantially improved video capture at 1080 and the front camera, one of the great unfinished also updated with video at 720p, backlit sensor and the ability to make video calls via 3G, a function that gets through 6 and iOS therefore also be available to the other devices.
Audio
Along with this, the call audio has also been substantially improved with new technology and taking advantage of the three microphones that now includes the iPhone 5. One at the bottom, one on the back (right between the camera lens and flash) and one in the front that help a lot to improve the quality of sound and well get a much clearer audio in calls.
A new connector
The connector, as well as all the rumors pointing is brand new, eight-pin, much smaller, discrete and reversible, whatever we can plug connector orientation. Also have improved durability as some aspects thereof and the transfer speed. For those who have previous cable connector to the new, current, also sell a special adapter that allows using them.
Colors, price and availability
In terms of colors, the new iPhone will be available in black and white classics. The headphone input has been moved to the bottom. The iPhone 5 will retain the same prices as the iPhone 4S, will be available on September 19 in the U.S., Canada, UK, France and others and, more importantly, on day 21 a week in Spain and Mexico
