This time Apple launched not one, but two new iPhone versions. Besides a refurbished Iphone 5, was also a cheaper Iphone 5C model released. This is in short an Iphone 5 in plastic cover.
The biggest news was consequently Iphone 5s who stood for. Or – and large. That said, this is a renovation of the previous top model in the famous Apple style. When they release an S-model is the question of what we call a “midlife kicker” – an upgrade to nurture the previous model year to year.
in the process throwing the iPhone 5 out of the portfolio. This is replaced with Iphone 5C, which in effect is the same phone in new packaging.
It is perhaps more surprising that Apple did not make more out of the new iPhone model. All the major competitors has five inch screens in their top models, and Apple’s “Retina resolution ‘is a moment ago was impressive.
We have no doubt that they are going to sell the new version in spades. After all, the iPhone is.

Android crushes Ios
Nevertheless Figures 2 quarter of this year shows that Apple’s iOS has a small market share compared to Android. Figures from Strategy Analytics suggests that Android has a market share of 80 percent, while Apple’s iOS has 14 per cent.
It is especially Samsung who smashes Apple in sales. According to figures from research firm IDC, they sent out 73.3 million smartphones with Android in the second quarter of this year. At the same time put Apple 31.2 million phones with Ios in the market.
Apple’s sales are well enough larger than most other manufacturers. LG pushed in the same period of the 12.1 million phones, while Huawei issued 10.2 million. Apple is therefore still a force to be reckoned with. It might be interesting to see if their new and cheaper iPhone 5C change in relative strength.
To measure Iphone 5s up
We must of course take a look at how the iPhone 5S stands up against the competition. We opted for the “regular” top models from Samsung and LG, which are the two largest manufacturers of Android phones. They are thus Apple’s two biggest competitors. We have also included a handful of other competitors that are relevant in Norway.
It is clear that there are no major changes in the basic specifications of the iPhone 5S and its predecessor. They have as exactly the same dimensions and weight, same screen size and resolution, and apparently the same camera.
most important news
However, there is some news that is worth noting:
- camera has the same resolution but larger sensor. This means that the pixels have increased in size. Put simpler: It captures more light and images are in theory better.
- System chip A7 has faster processor than its predecessor. Apple has not published information about the actual specifications and the information we have here originates from Wikipedia. There is reason to believe that the votes. Apple claims that the speed is doubled up.
- processor has 64 bit architecture. This may not have much to say for speed, but it is an important step in fingerprint reader, and makes it possible to offer stronger encryption on the phone. iOS 7 support 64 bit prosessorarktitektur.
- Iphone 5S supports all LTE frequencies we use in Norway. So you get full tit where LTE coverage.

fingerprint reader is a camera
The biggest news of the iPhone 5S is whether it has a fingerprint reader. This is effectively a camera and sitting in the home key to your phone. To scan your finger hold the only key, so take it a photo and compare with what you have saved.
Fingerprint reader for mobile phones is not a new idea, but the way Apple has implemented it exciting. Besides unlock your phone, you can use your finger to identify you on the App Store and iTunes. Thus, the end of the pressing password.
term, we assume that you will be able to identify other places too, but for now Apple has not opened feature for developers.
Alone in the mini segment
Compared to Android competitors, it is interesting to see that Apple still holds on its now relatively small screen. In the listing there are no monitors that have lower resolution than the Iphone 5s her either.

This has some advantages. If you are looking for a small phone, you are in competition mostly relegated to intermediate or cheap segment. Top models all have large screens – some even larger than five inches.
Want a small and neat top model is thus Iphone apply. It is in itself interesting that Apple will have this tab itself.
Otherwise Iphone 5S stands out from the competition in that it does not have technologies that have become daily fare in the other. NFC is as nothing it appears that Apple is lit on. We assume they have their reasons.
If we are to count the processor cores and gigahertz are also major differences. But it is a fair comparison pointless given that the different phones not running on the same platform.
What is the price?
Apple in writing, no published price, or when the phone goes on sale. It should show up in Norway in December, but it is so far the only thing we know.
Apple was quick to remove Iphone 5 discontinued. You can no longer purchase it from Apple’s online store. If we assume that the price of the iPhone 5S is on par with the iPhone 5, you can count on it being one of the most expensive on the market.
Iphone 5, ie without S with 32 GB costs 6100 dollars.
In contrast, the other models in the database:
Samsung Galaxy S4 : 4400 million
LG G2 : 4500 Dollars
HTC One : 5000 Dollars
Sony Xperia Z1 : 5800 Dollars
Nokia Lumia 1020 : about 5800 million
As a PS, we also mention ZTE Nubia Z5, with great five inch screen, and lusty specifications to 3600 dollars.
