iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C to opinions and perspectives
Monday, July 14, 2014
A few hours remain before the start of sales in the U.S. and Europe, two new smartphones Apple - iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Press has published the first review phones, and I also had time to form their own opinions about these devices. I'll try to briefly share it with you.
Talk a lot about the iPhone 5C I do not want. It is clear that it is the same iPhone 5, which we saw a year ago, only in plastic and color. I think Apple made the right decision, adding colors in the ranks of its smartphones, but something happened, what few expected: the novelty does not become a "budget" model. Price for iPhone 5C set at today's iPhone 4S, that is, around 25 thousand rubles from the official partners of Apple, and this, among other things, the height of the top models of Samsung. So Apple does not cover new categories of buyers, but it makes the device more attractive for young people. Prior to this rich selection of colors could offer except Nokia.
Quite a different situation with iPhone 5S. Smartphone certainly need to be considered together with iOS 7, in fact it will be installed on board the phone from the beginning, and that it will try new buyers who have never had to deal with smartphones Apple. And here comes the fun part - completely revamped interface combined with trump as fingerprint scanner makes iPhone 5S lure for future fans migrating from Android or other platforms.
There is no doubt that many of the functions of iOS 7 available including for older models will be announced as new features iPhone 5S, and changes there rife, including the transfer of data between devices nearby, a new control center and notifications, full multitasking preview window applications and advanced fotofunktsional.
Now add to that the "miracle" unlock your phone using the fingerprint scanner in conjunction with one of the best cameras of smartphones, and you get good sales formula. Yes, they are not extremely high, but can provide Apple another year of quiet life and might have a chance to surprise us again.
As for the fingerprint scanner, I want to express my dissatisfaction with the implementation of this technology. Apple has not been able to fully reveal to us the potential of the scanner, as it does not make it available to third-party developers of applications, at least at the start of sales. As a result, we can use this miracle of technology only to unlock the phone and access to the App Store and other places where a password is required from iTunes, and such important things like Skype, browser, social networks remain out of work.
