Users who were eagerly awaiting the appearance of the iPhone 6S on the market hoped that this version in functionality would be many times superior to the fifth gadget from Apple. Especially Apple fans have been waiting for such new products as good screen- zoomed, sapphire-coated, and superior camera. However, a number of consumers were disappointed when comparing the 5S and 6 models. the difference turned out to be insignificant. Is this so, and what is the difference between the version of the iPhone 6S and the five - in the review below.

If we compare the packaging from all iPhones over the past 7 versions, including the top five vs 6, it practically did not change. It is about the dimensions and design of the package. However, starting with the iPhone 6, the appearance of the box in which the gadget is shipped has changed somewhat. It has become a little larger and is made in pure white.

Overall, the look of the box is pretty simple and unremarkable. The complete set of iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 devices with additional accessories that are inside the box is also almost identical.

Both gadgets, if you compare the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6, inside the box contain accessories such as:

• lightning cable;
• headset;
• power adapter.

It should be noted that although the iPhone 6 has increased battery capacity, the power adapter still has a 1 amp output.

External difference between iPhone 5S vs iPhone 6

The iPhone model six and its comparison of the iPhone 5S in terms of appearance shows significant iPhone differences 6 from its predecessor. Moreover, these differences are positive.

Assessment of the dimensions of the device six and its screen revealed that it differs from the iPhone 5S in the following points:

• change in appearance;
• modernization of the hull shape;
• enlarge the screen.

When asked which design is better - iPhone 5S or iPhone 6, many users fall into thought. Some people like the first device, others like the second. However, we can say with confidence that lovers of stylish things will like the iPhone six. The body of this model looks stylish and impressive: the glass screen smoothly bends around the corners of the phone, merging with the body.

The dimensions of the six, as shown by a comparison with the iPhone 5S, are significantly larger. The weight of the new gadget is 128 grams, dimensions - 138.1 * 67 * 6.9 mm. The iPhone 5S vs 6 models are radically different in size. For those who are used to iPhones 4 and 5, the sixth model may seem too bulky. However, what better iPhone 5S or 6, this can be reliably evidenced not so much by the appearance of the devices as by the characteristics of the iPhone in technical terms.

Specifications iPhone 5S iPhone 6

As for the hardware platforms and performance of both versions of Apple's gadgets under consideration, they practically do not differ. The only difference users have noticed is the six's ability to track the number of flights while climbing stairs. The five, alas, are incapable of this.

RAM in version 6 has doubled - 64 GB. If we compare all iOS devices, today the iPhone six is ​​the most powerful of them. But a number of users of iPhone 6 version notice that operating system iOS8 installed on this gadget does not always work stably, there are also crashes. But this problem is not critical, and in general the gadget has high performance. By the way, the same can be said about the 5S.

Differences between the camera properties of the iPhone 5S and 6

The difference in the quality of the photos taken by the gadgets of both versions was not noticed by the majority. Model 6 has an 8 pixel camera with a 5-lens lens.

The differences between the camera of the six and the camera of the iPhone 5S, which can be described as the most significant, are:

• improved face recognition engine;
• increased focusing speed.

There is no manual adjustment of a certain parameter of the camera, except for exposure compensation, in the camera of the six.

The photos below show the difference between the pictures taken different versions gadgets. Or rather, it can be seen that the photos are almost the same. Above is a picture taken by a six, and below - a five S.

Fans over old version gadgets from Apple - namely, the five S, note that photos taken in low light are better and more detailed on this model than on the iPhone 6. This statement is very controversial and is supported only by a number of users. Also note that on iPhone 6 photos taken in conditions of almost absolute darkness come out of very decent quality.

The evolutionary shooting in the iPhone 6 was further improved, although in the fifth model this parameter was at its best. The resolution of the final image has now almost doubled - up to 43 MP. At the same time, the width of the photo and the aspect ratio of the frame retained their characteristics.

By the way, the six also has a 1.2 MP front camera. It can also record quite high-quality video with maximum resolution.

Summing up, we note that both gadgets have advantages and disadvantages. Although the new version of the iPhone is a six, it is in many ways superior to its predecessor. Users note that the operating system of the six sometimes crashes, but in general, all applications run stably fast. The most great advantage version 6 is a redesigned and improved screen that is second to none. And all other characteristics have been slightly improved.

When developing cameras Apple again did not take a step towards increasing the number of pixels. But the iPhone 6 has improved autofocus and face detection. The iPhone 6 Plus differs from the iPhone 5S and 6 in the presence of an optical image stabilizer.

Significant changes have taken place in opportunities filming... The iPhone 6 can shoot video at 60 frames per second, while the iPhone 5S is only capable of 30. The slo-mo mode has the ability to slow down to 240 frames per second, which is twice as slow as the five. But especially the installation of a professional cinematic image stabilizer, which will allow you to shoot truly breathtaking clips. Also, the iPhone 6 received continuous autofocus, which in a matter of seconds changes the focus point depending on the surrounding events. This function is good not only for art movie lovers, but also for home archives, for example, when filming children who are able to move in space with amazing agility.

Apple has taken care of Selfi lovers: front-camera got the "Burst" mode, which allows you to take up to 30 selfies in a row. The quality of video recording using the FaceTime camera has also been improved.

Internet connection speed the iPhone 6 promises to reach 150 MB / s. Both smartphones support LTE, but the sixth generation received additional support in the form of VoLTE. According to preliminary data, the Internet on the iPhone 6 will be 3 times faster than on the iPhone 5S. And do not forget about the possibility of making an audio call to the subscriber with using Wi-Fi connections.

What are the other differences?

Apple Pay Is what iPhone 5S users are missing. Thanks to the NFC chip, the iPhone 6 can be used in place of a credit card. The system is not only extremely convenient and avoids a lot of unnecessary gestures, but also has an increased level of security and protection of personal data.

Another difference between iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S is availability barometer, which will take over many functions, including the measurement of the ambient temperature.

iPhone 6 became the first Apple smartphone with possible memory capacity in 126 GB. At the same time, there is no 32 GB model in the line. While the iPhone 5S kept the classic trend: 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Delivery set will remain unchanged for all smartphones in the series. All three smartphones will work under the strict guidance of iOS 8.

Where to buy and what are the prices

Not so long ago, in March this year, Apple presented its next creation - the iPhone SE. This is an apparatus with iPhone specifications 6s, but in a 5s case, that is, with a 4-inch screen, as opposed to a spade-shaped "six". It should be noted that for competitors on the Android OS, this screen size has almost sunk into oblivion for a long time. There are actively selling 5 and 5.5 inch smartphones. However, judging by the sales of new items, devices with a display of this size are still very popular and in demand in the market.
But let's get back to the topic of the post and try to figure out what distinguishes the iPhone SE from the iPhone 5S, which it replaced. What are the main differences between these devices? The most interesting thing is that when the novelty went on sale, the famous American TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel took to the streets and asked him to tell where new smartphone and where is its predecessor. Almost no one guessed!

Dimensions:

Both the iPhone SE and iPhone 5S have nearly the same weight and size. The iPhone SE is only 1 gram heavier than the iPhone5S - 112 grams and 113 grams, respectively.

Screen:

Both test subjects had 4-inch IPS LCD displays. Despite the fact that both they use a new generation of the IPS matrix, which is brighter and has excellent viewing angles, the iPhone CE has a laminated display. This gives an interesting visual effect - the icons seem to float on the surface of the glass.

CPU:

The iPhone SE uses the A9 processor found in today's top-of-the-line iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The old iPhone 5C was equipped with the first 64-bit chip from Apple, model A7. Accordingly, the productivity will be much higher. Considering the fact that the M9 motion coprocessor is significantly superior to its predecessors.

Memory (RAM and ROM):

The new iPhone CE has 2 GB on board random access memory versus 1 GB for the iPhone 5S.
Not everything is so simple with permanent memory. The manufacturer will release the iPhone SE in 16GB and 64GB variants. The iPhone 5C had 3 delivery options - 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB.

Camera:

Have iPhone phone SE has a 12MP camera with f / 2.2 aperture. It is almost identical to the one used on the 6S. In addition, it can record regular video in 4K Full HD resolution at 60fps, and slow motion Slow-mo at up to 240fps. The flash is Retina installed, the same as on the iPhone 6s.
The old model 5S camera has a matrix of only 8MP, it cannot write video in 4K resolution at all.
By the way, the iPhone SE, unlike the iPhone 5S, can take Live Photos.
The front camera on both devices is the same - 1.2MP

Battery:

The 1624 mAh battery used on the iPhone CE is certainly less than that of the 6C (1715 mAh), but more than that of the iPhone 5C (1560 mAh). Due to this, the beginner has a significant best time autonomous work.

Connection:

One more significant difference- SE has a much more modern and faster 4G / LTE module, with a maximum speed of 150 Mbps, while 5s has a third slower - 100 Mbps.

Body color:

Have Smartphone iPhone SE four are available color options case design: "silver", "gold", " pink gold" and " Space gray". iPhone 5S has three colors. It's all the same, but there is no rose gold option.

Now let's take a look at the difference between iPhones - what is in the sixth version that is not in the iPhone CE... Well besides bigger screen and the 128GB version of course;).

1. Aluminum 7000

Both models are very thin, but unlike the flagship, the cheaper novelty uses cheap material. Because of this iPhone case SE bends!

2. Screen

If you take both phones in hand, the difference is obvious to the naked eye. And it is not in the direction of the novelty.

3. Quick Touch ID

Although the fingerprint scanner finger iPhone SE is faster than 5S, it is very far from 6S!

4. Front-facing FaceTime camera

Matrix 5 MP versus 1.2 MP. I think the comments are superfluous. It is better to take selfies on the flagship!

5. Optical camera stabilizer

Perhaps if the iPhone CE had an optical stabilizer like the iPhone 6S Plus, it would have perhaps the best photo quality in the 4-inch class!

Three years have passed since Apple presented a new product - iPhone 6. Many users have already appreciated which is better - smartphone version 5 or six. However, the controversy over the differences between the two gadgets continues to this day. And especially the question of how one device model differs from another worries those who did not have time to purchase one of the newest versions of the iPhone, but are content with a four. Especially for them - how the iPhone 5 differs from the iPhone 6 - in the review below.

Let's start comparing what is the difference between Model 5 vs iPhone 6 - a characteristic that catches the eye at first glance and, it should be noted, worries many potential gadget users. After all, some owners of iPhones prefer to carry them in their pants pocket, so they choose miniature versions of smartphones. So what is the best device in this sense?

The smallest smartphone from the 5-6 line is the iPhone 5S. However, it is not the thinnest. And as for the difference between the iPhone 5 and 6, or 6S in height, it is the smallest. The difference in height between the 5-6 gadgets reaches 3.5 cm.

But smartphones from Apple of the sixth generation entered the market with more slim body... But the difference in thickness with the five S is less than a centimeter, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Transformation of iPhone 5 into iPhone 6: design

Usually, each subsequent version of a smartphone from Apple is in many ways similar to the previous one. If there are cardinal differences, they relate mainly to technical characteristics... So, in new models of iPhones, the camera is usually improved, the amount of RAM is increased, the firmware is changed to a newer one, etc.

But with the design, everything is simpler. As a rule, it does not change much. But, it should be noted, all devices from epl look good, stylish and expensive.

When the sixth version of the iPhone entered the market, everything happened differently. Appearance this model has changed dramatically. The device purchased more view iPod than smartphone. Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage is up to each consumer to decide for himself.

Fundamental differences in the design of the iPhone 5S vs iPhone 6:

• Blurred (almost completely) the border between the display and the body of the device in devices of the sixth generation.
• The body bezels for the six are thicker and coarser.
• Change of round control buttons to oval ones.
• Moving the power button to the side panel from the top.

The appearance of the back panel of both models of smartphones practically does not differ. Only in the six, the camera is less conveniently located, and sticks out a little from the body, and does not merge with it. Potential consumers often pay attention to this feature, and often it becomes the reason for refusing to purchase a gadget of the sixth model, because users are concerned about the durability of this part.

The shape of the flash on the camera of the newer device - the sixth version - has slightly changed and acquired the contours of the lens, became round.

IPhones 5 and 6: evaluating performance

The processor of the newer device has improved, and it is presented by the Apple A8, while the five S was based on the A7. According to those who tested both versions of devices, the six works 25 percent faster. The power of the graphic elements of the new device has doubled.

However, all of the above is not the most important thing. The main feature of the sixth generation smartphone is that it retains a charge 50% longer than the five S.

Photo and video quality

The number of pixels, as is often the case with Apple, was not increased during the production of a new model of the device. But the six has improved autofocus and face detection. The 6 PLUS version of the iPhone, which has an optical image stabilizer, is far from the 5S and 6 in terms of camera quality.

Capabilities of shooting video with output new version have changed a lot for the better. The shooting speed of the six has been increased to 60 frames per second, while the same indicator for the five S is 50% slower.

Slo-mo - the mode in the sixth generation gadgets was slowed down to 240 frames / sec., Which is 2 times lower than in the sixth model.

Equipping the camera of the new - the 6th version of the iPhone with a cinematic image stabilizer, made it possible to bring it to a new, almost professional level. Now the camera can even shoot clips, and they will be very good quality... An inexperienced viewer, looking at such shots, may think that they were taken using professional photographic equipment.

The presence of autofocus in the six allows you to shoot video in any conditions when objects quickly change position (for example, children's games, dances, etc.). At the same time, the frames are distinguished by their clarity and brightness.

Apple also took care of those who like to take selfies when developing a new model of the device, providing front camera Burst mode. Thanks to this mode, you can take up to 30 selfies in a row. And the use of a FaceTime camera has greatly improved the quality of the video.

Other differences

Speed wireless internet in the latest smartphone model from Apple it has become 3 times faster than in 5-ke S. Also, the fundamental difference can be considered the emergence of the possibility of making a call using WiFi.

Apple Pay is another major benefit of the six-lane. The owners of this model of the gadget can use the iPhone as a credit card, paying for different purchases. At the same time, the level of security of payments is no lower than when paying bills bank cards, but, on the contrary, in some ways even surpasses it in reliability.

The six has a barometer, which the 5S did not have. It serves many different functions. but the main one (and the most popular among users) is temperature measurement and display.

RAM six, compared to previous version gadget from Apple, doubled. This is perhaps one of the main fundamental differences that affect the choice of a potential buyer of a device from Apple, which fluctuates between models 5 and 6.

Differences in pricing policy

The question of cost is not the last of the list of issues that worry buyers. It's no secret that any device from Apple is not cheap. And when choosing between two models of smartphones that are not very different from each other, the buyer is likely to choose the one that is cheaper if the difference in price is significant.

So what is the difference in price for iPhones of the 5th and 6th line in Russia? The cost of the 5S model in its basic configuration starts from at least 30 thousand rubles. Version 6 of gadget costs an average of 35 thousand rubles.

And, of course, the difference in price varies depending on the amount of RAM of a particular model.

The approximate prices for the gadgets listed above apply only to original devices... Apparatus manufactured on the black market, i.e. counterfeits, sold at a price 20 percent or more lower than certified smartphones. However, when purchasing a fake, think several times, because it goes without a guarantee, and in a situation of sudden breakdown, you will have to pay for repairs from your own pocket.

The event that millions of Apple fans have been waiting for has come true! The Cupertino-based company presented the much-anticipated iPhone 6, as well as its large "copy", which, in addition to the enlarged display, received other characteristics and functions. However, only smartphones Apple at the "Cupertino" presentation was not limited. The Apple company demonstrated its vision of wearable electronics to the whole world in the form of Apple Watch... True, many visitors to the presentation, and ordinary users expected to see something more. But Apple, in fact, showed everything it wanted: two large smartphones and a companion watch. Let's take a closer look at smartphones and see how the iPhone 6 differs from the iPhone 5S and 5.

If we summarize all the changes in the new iPhone 6, then we can say that Apple has relied on increasing the display diagonal for a reason. There are not so many 4-inch smartphones on the market. Basically, the niche of "small-screen" smartphones is occupied by budget solutions. Users need large displays to consume content. Apple decided to take into account the current trends in "smartphone building" and released two devices with diagonals 4.7 and 5.5 inches (11.9 and 14 cm) in a completely new design for the company. At the same time, both smartphones work on the latest processor from Apple and for the first time in the history of the company are equipped with 128 gigabytes of memory.

Updated design and dimensions

The design of the new iPhone 6 was no secret. More than once, pictures of the device body have leaked to the Network. If we compare the body of the “sixth apple” with the iPhone 5S, then, firstly, it has become noticeably thinner. Recall that the thickness of the iPhone 5S is 7.6 millimeters, while the iPhone 6 is 0.7 mm thinner - 6.9 millimeters. IPhone Model 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch display is 7.1 mm thick.

Secondly, Apple has departed from the "square design" of the fifth model and fit all the inside of the smartphone into a thin metal case with rounded edges and plastic inserts in the form of narrow stripes. The stripes on the ultra-thin body are applied for a reason: the antennas of the communication module are located under them.

Thirdly, the weight of the smartphone in comparison with the iPhone 5S has increased by only 17 grams. At the same time, the dimensions of the device have become noticeably larger. The "sixth generation" iPhone with a diagonal of 4.7 inches boasts the following dimensions: 138 × 67 mm. As for the iPhone 6 Plus, its dimensions are 158 by 78 millimeters and weighs 172 grams. Recall that the "five" has dimensions of 123.8 × 58.6 millimeters.

In addition to increasing the size, Apple has worked on other elements of the smartphone. If the front part of the device remains the same, then the ends of it have changed noticeably. The body of the "sixth iPhone" has lost its sharp edges and has become streamlined, and the power button has moved from the top of the smartphone to the right side. The speaker grill has also undergone changes: the holes for the sound output are larger and are located in one row. At the same time, Apple abandoned the so-called fake speaker. As a result, on the bottom edge of the smartphone there is only one row of speaker holes on the left side.

Like the fifth generation, the sixth generation iPhone will be available in three colors - dark gray, silver and gold.

New hardware and display

Every new smartphone Apple installs latest processor own production. The Cupertino-based company did not break this tradition and equipped its flagship with a 64-bit Apple A8 processor, which is manufactured using a 20-nm process technology. Company representatives talk about the high performance and energy efficiency of the new processor. For example, the A8 is 25% faster than the A7 processor found in the iPhone 5S. At the same time, graphics processing improved by 50%. The A8 processor is dual-core and clocked at 1.4 GHz.

On top of that, Apple has updated the M8 coprocessor, which can track the movements of a smartphone in a vertical plane. In addition, at the presentation, Tim Cook said that the processor of the current generation of the smartphone is 84 times faster than the processor of the very first iPhone.

Apple, like Google, does not equip its smartphones with a memory card slot. This time, the company decided to launch new iPhones with 128 gigabytes of internal memory. However, unlike the iPhone 5S, there will be no “sixes” with 32 gigabytes of memory on sale. IPhones with 16/64/128 GB of internal memory will be available in the markets from September 19, 2014.

The new flagship of the "apple" company is released in two versions: with a display diagonal of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. Permission iPhone display 6 is 1334x750 pixels. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus has Full HD resolution which Apple calls Retina HD - 1920 x 1080 pixels. The density of dots per inch in comparison with the iPhone 5S in the 4.7-inch smart has not changed - 326 ppi, but the 5.5-inch phablet has a density of 401 dpi.

New "old" camera

Apple decided to turn a smart device into a media gadget by equipping new flagship camera with amazing performance. The resolution of the main camera has remained unchanged since the release of the "fourth iPhone". All the same 8 megapixels, but made completely by new technology FocusPixel.

IPhone 6 Plus received optical stabilization, but the younger brother got the old digital stabilization. The lens of the new sensor with an aperture of f / 2.2 and 1.5μm pixels protrudes slightly from the body. The Apple flagship camera allows you to shoot time-lapse videos at 120/240 frames per second, as well as Full HD video at 30 frames / s.

Battery life, price and other chips

Apple did not disclose the battery capacity of both iPhones, but talked about the increase in the battery life of the flagships. In all respects, both smartphones have bypassed the previous generation. iPhone 6 Plus became the record holder at all. For example, in comparison with the "five", the time in the audio listening mode has doubled, from 40 to 80 hours. It can be stated that the difference between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s in terms of power consumption is quite significant.

Sixth iPhone generation supports NFC as well as more than 20 LTE and VoLTE bands. In addition, the company has equipped the smartphone with a Wi-Fi module with support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi. New iPhone 6 runs on iOS 8, which can be downloaded in a week.

However, the main surprise for many buyers was the cost. In the US, prices have remained the same: the iPhone 6 will be available on September 19, 2014 at a price of $ 649, and the iPhone 6 Plus - for $ 749. If you conclude a contract with cellular operator then the price for the 128GB version of the iPhone 6 Plus will drop to $ 499.

In Russia, the pricing policy is slightly different. Apple iPhone 6 will go on sale on September 26 with a price tag of 32-42 thousand rubles, depending on the amount of internal memory. As for the "older" model, its cost will be 37-47 thousand rubles. But those who want to buy an iPhone 5S can be delighted: the price of the "five" will drop to 25,000 rubles.
