Why I will not change my iPhone 5 to 5S

Each year, iPhone owners are given the same question: whether to change his "old man" to a new model? And the answer to this question is different every year. Of course, many factors play a role. What model are you using and what problems are solved with the help of your iPhone. All play a role.

After Apple last week unveiled a new flagship iPhone 5S, I almost immediately responded to the question "change or not to change." Yes, iPhone 5S - a great phone, no doubt. But does it make sense to change the classic "five" in the 5S? I think not, and here's why.

IPhone 5S without chips is quite possible to live

Yes, the fingerprint scanner and the new chips to shoot - this is certainly cool things. But if they do 5S truly "must-Haven" phone can not do without? In my opinion, no.

It is necessary to take into account that all of the iPhone with the prefix «S» - is still transitional, evolutionary models. There is nothing truly revolutionary as it did with the iPhone 4 and the Retina screen. In such models, Apple is limited to the simple processor upgrade, chips for camera and some fichey: for iPhone 4S of Siri, it was, in the iPhone 5S - a fingerprint scanner.

iPhone 5S has the same design, the same screen is almost the same chamber as the iPhone 5. From a design perspective, it is almost the same phone.

Even though the new A7 processor, which will probably work quicker and smarter than the A6, in the sense I have 5 5S I do not see. Believe me - for me to play the game Infinity Blade III caliber on the iPhone is not the most important task. And the "old man» iPhone 5 copes with gaming innovations App Store. Of course, when there will come a time when "five" would be hopelessly slow down and it will not be able to play a little bit demanding toy. But before these times is still very, very long time.

iPhone 5 will be relevant for a long time

Probably everyone knows that the 5C in terms of "hardware" is not anything different from the iPhone 5. It would seem that a well-known fact. But what does it mean?

And it means that the iPhone 5 will be long enough to obtain acceptable software support with Apple side. Representing the iPhone 5C «new phone" kupertinovtsy essentially undertook necessarily about 2 years at software to support it and, consequently, the iPhone 5 - it's phones with the same "iron" stuffing.

Let's look at iOS 7. iPhone 5 / C will have absolutely all the chips in the new OSes. And that means that another year will be the owners of these phones use the latest iOS with all its functionality. Yes, then released iOS 8 and 5 / 5C will not get absolutely all of its "chips". But look at the same iPhone 4S - it is quite works well with iOS 7, and the opportunities that he cheated, can hardly be called critical. So it will be a 5 / 5C - because that is the logic of Apple.

iPhone 5 is better 5C

But between the iPhone 5 and 5C, there is one significant difference that has nothing to do with software and hardware. It is how to design these 2 devices. iPhone 5 was created as the flagship company. Despite all the troubles with stripped paint, an aluminum device, which is thinner and lighter iPhone 5C.

iPhone 5C was originally designed as a "cheap» iPhone version. Firstly, it has a plastic housing (although very high quality, but still plastic, not aluminum stekljanyj), and secondly - it is thicker and weighs more than the iPhone 5 (though not much). It turns out that in general, iPhone 5C takes "cheaper" than the "premium» iPhone 5.

I believe that the best time to come in a few months to buy an iPhone 5. You will be able to buy at a lower price is a very good phone that "premium" is perceived, which is 2 more years will be supported by acceptable Apple. While the iPhone 5C, which will only appear on store shelves, will cost more.

dry residue

As you can see, there are enough arguments on which the update to the iPhone 5 on the iPhone 5S far optional. Of course, if you want to get all of the latest technologies from Apple, if you have enough money, then you can safely take 5S - is a good phone. But if you do not need to unlock the iPhone using a fingerprint scanner and shoot video in slo-mo, then the iPhone 5 - is a great choice.

Especially, it will long remain an actual model, which will be at a good level maintained by Apple and its software. In addition, iPhone 5 will soon fall in price, and it felt more premium than the same iPhone 5C.
