There was too much buzz regarding the specs and features of iPhone 5 last year especially before its launching. But this time, there is no buzz or doubts regarding the specs, features and functionalities of this innovative device called iPhone 5s. However, in terms of overall design, the 5s looks like its predecessor i.e. iPhone 5, but still there are some key improvements. Apart from aluminium chassis and designer appearance, the new flagship phone has more metallic look with astonishing features than its predecessor.

Moreover, you aren’t supposed to differentiate between both devices i.e. iPhone 5 and 5s unless you’re an exceptional fan of Apple devices. At first glance, you won’t be able to find any difference as there is no visible difference between these two smartphones.  Not only are port and every button in the same position, but the handset’s measurements also remains unchanged i.e. 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.3 inches. Further, it has the same weight of 112 g. Like its predecessor, the iPhone 5s also houses a 4-inch retina display with a resolution (1,136 x 640) with a pixel density of 326ppi.

iPhone 5s – Touch ID

It is a known fact that you mustn’t have observed fingerprint scanners on ordinary devices because in the past several of them proven to be only gimmick. This is the main reason why most of the people still prefer the traditional pass-code security system. However, it is not the case with Apple device. The new flagship phone called 5s comes loaded with Touch ID fingerprint scanner feature. Furthermore, if you find it a bit difficult to use, you can continue with pass-code security system as it has both functions to offer you. Its exclusive biometric touch ID sensor helps you unveiling the mesmerizing world of Apple features and functions. Are you still confused? If yes, then you must keep reading this iPhone5s tested review.

This time, Apple has integrated an innovative fingerprint sensor into the main home key itself and safeguarded it with a strong sapphire crystal layer. This is embedded so perfect, that the giveaway which it’s fingerprint reader is a silver-coloured ring encircling the main sensor. Thus, the steel ring functions as a trigger that easily detects user’s finger, and then starts scan. Once this is activated, the main sensor would be capable of getting high-resolution images of user’s fingerprint from desired angle that it then swiftly sends back to main machine i.e. A7 chip for thorough analysis.  Now, the pictures captured by the innovative scanner display the upper layer of human skin beneath the usual dead cells found on the top. It means that the sensor captures sub-epidermal human skin layer not the dead skin positioned on the top.

The establishment procedure is easy. It usually takes less than one minute for the handset to capture users’ fingerprints. The device can easily memorize up to 5 different human fingers or thumbs, and they could belong to the similar or different individuals, depending on whether you would like to share your device with other people or not. It means that you can easily grant permission to other people to use your handset by allowing them to register their fingerprints with your device. Further, in order to avail the maximum benefits out of this feature, you need to register your fingers with the device. For this, you may have to try several times – approximately five to six times to get success. It is suggested that you must add your finger images on different angles.

However, fingerprint scanner on a handset is considered as the most innovative feature, but still some individuals find it a difficult job to do. If this is also the case with you then you can go with traditional pass-code feature. The only drawback with this exclusive feature or Touch ID is that it doesn’t support third-party services.

iPhone 5s – Camera

It’s a known fact that while choosing a handset, you must first want to confirm whether it is embedded with a quality camera or not. This is the main reason why most of the handset manufacturing companies are introducing different types of mobile phone cameras such as PureView, ClearPixel, UltraPixels, etc.  Apart from that there is also great buzz about camera pixels.

Like the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5, the iSight main camera loaded on the 5s provides a resolution of 8 megapixels. But, it benefits from a bigger pixel size and bigger aperture. Hence, between those two significant features, Apple guarantees the iPhone 5s benefits from about 33% enhancement in light sensitivity. In simple words, the daylight shots would not be any more augmented than they were before, but images taken in dimmer settings or situations can be very clear especially over what you’ve previously observed on the 5.

We got a chance to check out the overall performance of this exclusive device called iPhone 5s. We first decided to check out the low-light ability of the camera. We captured some shots in the dimmer settings, and found them better than the iPhone 5. In short, the new camera is capable of producing sharper, more colourful and with finer natural details than its predecessor.

The iPhone 5s comes loaded with an 8 megapixel camera with a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. The camera is also equipped with additional features such as autofocus, dual-LED or dual tone flash. The additional camera functionalities are including simultaneous image and HD video recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, smile or face detection, and of course HDR (panorama/photo). If you love recording memorable moments of your life, you need to utilize the exclusive functions of its rear camera. You can do video recording at 1020p at 30fps and 720p at 120fps.

Like its predecessor iPhone 5, the 5s also comes loaded with powerful hardware to offer an incredible performance. The device comes loaded with Apple A7, dual-core 1.3 GHz processor accompanied with a solid 1GB of RAM, and thus offers an incredible performance. Apart from that the iPhone 5s runs on iOS 7 operating system, which is upgradable to iOS 7.1.2 as well as upgradable to iOS 8.1.1. As everyone knows that the Apple A7 chipset is the fastest processor available on the earth planet. However, there’re lots of handsets available to go with such as HTC M8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but iPhone 5s is still the best option to go with.

This premium-looking device, under the hood, contains GPU quad-core graphics PowerVR G6430.

Being equipped with a dual-core 1.3 GHz cyclone processor, the device is capable of catering your needs of having a high-end smartphone. Device comes with different onboard memory, including 16, 32 and 64 GB to select from.

Needless to say that a device integrated with such powerful hardware certainly needs a solid power backup. The iPhone 5s comes loaded with a decent 1560 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery. However, when we compare it with other handsets with more powerful battery, we find it a bit disappointing. However, the 5s battery is not an exceptional one, but still it has power to cater you power needs. In our mixed usages of playing games, browsing the internet, calling and running apps, we found it performing great for a whole day even with no technical hurdle in it.

iPhone 5s – Software

However, the 5s has been designed and developed keeping the overall design, functionality of its predecessor i.e. iPhone 5, but still it has some exclusive improvements in terms of software.

The original mechanics behind the exclusive user interface have been changed a bit, which means that many iOS users would easily be capable of finding their way around the device. On the other hand, the visible differences are indeed drastic. New icons, fonts, graphics, gestures and colours abound its keyboard sports an innovative appearance as do many of the core applications. Further, spotlight can be accessed from any corner of the display now with a tiny downward tug on the display; folders may hold lots of applications. Siri shed usual beta tag as well as got an extra voice along with an exclusive dimension to the user interface, and you may even get dynamic mobile wallpapers along with parallax. In our observation, we’ve found Control Centre as the most useful enhancement to iOS.

Moreover, instead of wandering through various settings menus to search what you require, an easy swipe up from the base of the handset brings up a display with toggle keys, swift-access shortcuts to main flashlight, a brightness slider, alarms, camera, calculator, and of course an exclusive music player app. It’s certainly a great timesaver, however if there’s one point we can include, it would be the capable of customizing this display to our liking list. Further, multitasking becomes an easy task and has a new appearance.
