For unknown reasons, the latest variation of the smartphone from Apple is positioned solely by many as a revolutionary and innovative product. However, an attentive viewer and the reader is not always believe what they say in the presentation and immediately climbs in the specification. It is not necessary to have a deep knowledge of modern technologies in order to assess the product in terms of its revolutionary spirit. Enough to be a regular user of any smartphone and impartially compare the new with the existing and upcoming products of competitors.
The great majority of people are modern smartphone - a box with a huge touch screen, through which it interacts with the program filling device. The number of cores in the processor, battery capacity, the technology used in the camera - all this does not matter when it comes to everyday using your smartphone, because there is more important than more abstract and simple concepts: no brakes - well, enough charging for the day - comfortable, good pictures - perfectly.
So which of these simple parameters distinguishes the iPhone 5 from a number of their counterparts in the destination?
Screen?
Revolution has made the iPhone 4 and its Retina-display. Indeed, on the screen with a pixel density and the size of the picture it looks amazing. Since then, the iPhone displays are not stepped far forward, because there is no special need to: further increase pixel-on-inch would not be caught by the human eye with the standard for human interaction with a smartphone distance.
The main competitor Galaxy S III is equipped with a screen with a density of 305 dpi. In epplovskoy retina is 326 pixels per inch. The difference is minimal, and virtually indistinguishable to the eye. Have you seen the pixels on the screen of Galaxy S III or Galaxy Nexus? To exit prepares Nokia Lumia 920 with the index 332 pixels per inch. Note that used in S III AMOLED display also behaves better in the sun.
Speaking about the proportions of the screen, then Apple copied the format of 16: 9, which is currently used by virtually all manufacturers of smartphones.
Output: All the latest models of flagship smartphones are equipped with a beautiful screen.
Camera?
It is now difficult to find someone who would determine the number of pixels the camera coolness. Why would someone grainy blurred canvas incredible size with completely irresponsible transfer of color? Much more important parameters here is precisely the ability of the camera to fix the image quality, with it It should be able to do it in the real world, when the illumination is far from ideal and the shooting is conducted with the hands and not with tripod.
And then again, there is no breakthrough. Image stabilization, face detection and panorama shooting analogues have a long time. Same Lumia 920 PureView camera is equipped with the same 8-megapixel resolution. Few people would say exactly what PureView, and why should it? The main thing is that this technology provides better quality at low light and good stabilization - is exactly what is required from a smartphone camera.
Output: All the latest models of flagship smartphones equipped with a camera, enough for the average user.
Axis?
The question of superiority of the program stuffing is not necessary to touch at all. Each began his acquaintance with a particular mobile OS, and already this fact invalidates any dispute about the superiority of one system or another. Here it is all about habit and personal preferences. Android, iOS and the upcoming WP8 features a built-in app store (due to which the capabilities of the device It can be expanded almost to infinity) and all the necessary for the everyday use smartphone functions. People who loudly declare about the wretchedness of the green robot, more often than not seen this OS in general, or touched once version 2.x, and have no idea about what is a Android now. Similarly happens with Android fans in relation to the apple OS. WP enjoyed even less people, but here come inappropriate Similar disputes those who do not know or understand completely the subject of dispute.
Output: All axes have long acquired all necessary for the average user features and capabilities.
Connector?
Here we must pay tribute to Apple. Lightning, or rather its ability to connect to the device by any party - it is really a breakthrough. It remains to be jealous and wait for the evolving micro USB. On the other hand, micro USB, plus you can enroll its prevalence and low cost cables.
Output: people involved in the standardization of USB, there is something to think about, but the iPhone 5 then defeated.
Housing?
Here opinions diverge as expected. Someone was waiting for the iPhone 5, the new design. Someone realized that this smartphone, setting trends and standards for all other manufacturers for several years, he almost reached the ideal, and the further processing of housing meaningless. Little thinner, a little more than well-chosen materials - are all present in Android smartphones, and WP smartphones. Someone who likes plastic, some glass, some metal. Monoblock with nonremovable cover traditionally creak and backlash smaller, but the problem is delivered to the user when needed to climb into the device. Plastic traditionally cheaper.
Talk about the external beauty and aesthetics as silly as arguing about the most delicious dishes or fruit.
Output: All the latest models of flagship smartphones equipped with enough quality housing. The rest - a matter of taste.
Weight?
5 iPhone weighs 112 grams. S III - 133 grams, Lumia 920 - as much as 185 grams. Although the most common trend today is to reduce the thickness and weight of the device is still a lot of people who prefer the "capital" smartphones. In general, the difference is even 70 gram hardly so critical to human, although here again, Apple should be commended for such a weightless as technological devices.
On the other hand, would you have agreed to a thickening and increase in weight of your device for more time to work?
results
It is difficult to find a reason to see the iPhone 5 as a unique, revolutionary and innovative technical side of the smartphone, although the presence of such an easy-to-use connector is certainly commendable. The rest of the iPhone unremarkable from the competition.
