iPhone 5. The best Apple phone
Faster, lighter, longer - this is the iPhone 5. Revolutions do not happen, but the evolution of Apple's smartphone continues after the death of their creator. Let's see what is the best new smartphone and why it is not worth buying.
Where to buy?
Despite the fact that we had little time, we did make a video review of the iPhone 5. Details in it a little, however, for the first acquaintance with the phone is fine. Look.
We now turn to the text part and the rest of the details. From year to year iPhone remains the most anticipated smartphone. And, although this time the security constrained Apple leaks to the efficiency of the sieve, the intrigue is not extinguished, and the fans got a long-awaited holiday. iPhone 5 can be called fully new device rather than a cosmetic upgrade of the previous model - is what everyone was waiting for. Joy clouded only one small thing - the marriage of production, what has not happened yet with any other iPhone.

Those headphones that were included with the previous models of iPhone, was, frankly, mediocre quality, and therefore are often immediately went to the box or directly in the trash. EarPods - another thing to seek to replace them more seriously, in general, and do not want to. Sound good, even juicy bass. In addition, they better adhere to the walls of the ear canal, while others because your music is not annoying.
Appearance
Total redesign has not happened, but apparently the iPhone 5 differs from its predecessor - and this is important. Due to the grown-screen changed body length (from 115 to 123 mm) and at the rear glass took place aluminum plate (glass there are only narrow bands at the top and bottom). In short, surrounding a glance understand: in front of them the proud owner of an iPhone 5, but there is not any iPhone 4S or, God forgive me, iPhone 4. Yes, and just a pleasure to hold in their hands something new.

I think actually there and it was meant to be even in the first model iPhone - just not enough space due to the wide 30-pin input, speaker and microphone. Now this problem is resolved: to replace the old interface port came Lightning - 8-pin narrow and thin connector. From a user perspective, it is more convenient: wire can be inserted into it by either party, and the plug itself more compact. Yet this benefit does not outweigh the problems that cause the lack of backward compatibility. All the old laces go in the trash, followed by the audio system and the docks for the iPhone. Of course, the cars because of such trifles change hardly anyone would be, but still unpleasant. Can solve the problem in part adapter "30-pin-Lightning», but the Apple Store it costs 30 dollars, and in Russia, no self-respecting trader will not lower the price tag of less than 2000 rubles.

The fact that the iPhone 5 was the thinnest smartphone in the world (even thickness decreased to 7.6 mm) - not very noticeable, yet struggle is already underway at a few hundredths of a millimeter. Another thing - the mass. iPhone has always weighed more than all its competitors, but in an atmosphere of worship Apple is transformed into the concept of "noble gravity." Say, hold your smartphone and you know - a solid, real thing, not that these Chinese toys. And this feature is quite different from the outside perceived "party." Alas, the show came to an end: iPhone 5 "lost" from 140 to 112 grams, it is now "all." And no, it does not create a sense of props. But get him on the forehead (Admit it, you also dropped over the phone when you read mail lying) is less traumatic.
Screen
Display size of the new iPhone has increased by half an inch, and touched only increase the height (or length, if you wish) screen. On the density of points is not affected, it remained at 326 ppi, and the resolution reached 640x1136 pixels.
Since this change the company kept a secret until the last moment, the developers of third-party software simply was not possible to prepare for the change. While they do not update their creations, their applications will not use the entire screen, but only the area 640x960 - with black stripes on the sides. Apparatus on white it looks bad on black - passable.

Screen new model has changed dramatically constructively, Apple used the technology «in-cell»: touchscreen "implanted" right in the matrix display, and as a result of a smartphone can be made thinner.

Apple has not given general madness and nuclear arms race - in the processor A6, which runs the iPhone 5, only two cores. That does not prevent him from becoming twice as productive predecessor. The chip operates at 1.2 GHz and is designed for finer 32nm. Graphics cores in the A6 - three, rather than two, as in the A5 (iPhone 4S), and not four as in A5X (new iPad). By the way, the processor manufacturer was Samsung - can sue and collaborate simultaneously. Added performance and increased memory, the iPhone 5 on board 1 GB of RAM.

nano-SIM
Apple swiftly minimizes size SIM-cards. Without giving a rest after a harrowing transition to micro-SIM, just two years ago, the world began to shift with a scratch on the micro-SIM - and here again the new format, nano-SIM. And this time do not be able to work with scissors - new Sims thinner, and therefore have to get nazhdachku. Well, or to use force - cropped mikrosimki with due perseverance climb the same in the slot of the iPhone 5. But it is the right word, violence.
