In the fall of several years ago new released iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C became the focus of a lot of friends concerned about. Within just three days total sales of iPhone 5c and IPhone 5s have exceeded 9 million, much beyond the Apple market research institutions estimation of 7 million units. Although Apple has not announced the respective sales of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, but from the market information feedback, 5S sales is far more as much as twice than 5C.

 

Many of them want to know what are the differences on these two models in the end, which model is more worthy of buying? The following on hardware configuration, appearance, capacity, price and operating system, Cell Phone Age respectively introduces the differences and distinguishes the features for unique model.

 

Configuration differences

IPhone 5S is equipped with a new generation of their own quad-core A7 processor, and the A7 is also equipped with a coprocessor M7. What is coprocessor? It is a "motion co-processor", specifically used to deal with sensor data, such as movement direction and trajectory, I believe in the later there will be more and better applications that can take advantage of this new feature. This is the world's first 64-bit processor used on smartphone for the ARM architecture. As the new A7 processor performance is more powerful and faster, I believe the new generation of processors will make 3D games and video experience upgraded to a new level. According to the official press conference introduced in the speed of new generation’s processor is 2 times faster than the previous generation A6.

 

In the iPhone 5C device is equipped with the same generation A6 processor of iPhone 5. Of course, A6 processor performance and speed can meet the daily needs of most users.

 

In additional iPhone 5S configuration on a security identification function, that is fingerprint recognition. This is exclusive feature of iPhone 5S. Apple did not add a chip to deal with, but by installing the integrated sensor in the Home button, and then the A7 will deal with data. This only 170 micron sensor can record 500ppi images. Through the fingerprint identification, as long as put your finger on the main screen button to unlock. Another example it can also be identified by fingerprints in the App Store to buy applications, no need to enter the complicated password. I believe that in the future there will be more applications will support this feature, making the iPhone through the iPhone shopping will become a very easy thing.

 

Appearance differences

As the iPhone 5S belongs to the upgraded model of previous generation iPhone 5, the phone's shell still use metal material. Metal shell gives a steady noble sense. IPhone 5S has three colors, namely dark gray, gold and silver. Especially the golden iPhone 5s caused the consumer's buying frenzy. Even in the case of all the way soaring prices, the stock is still in short supply. IPhone 5C shell use plastic material, there are five colors, namely white, pink, yellow, blue and green. So the difference in appearance, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C biggest difference lies in the shell of the material and color on available.

 

The differences between cameras

IPhone 5S is equipped with a sapphire crystal lens surface lens, pixels for 8 million, ƒ / 2.2 aperture, and have dual LED flash. The new iSight camera's sensor components increased by 15%, a single pixel size can be improved to 1.5 microns, and the aperture is increased to f / 2.2. These changes allow the camera to earn more light. Although the camera pixel is still 800 million, but because the aperture is upgraded and the camera's material is different, I believe photos shot by iPhone 5S camera will be better.

 

While recording a video, iPhone 5S can choose on which part to add the slow motion, which depends entirely on the high-performance processor algorithm. For example, a lot of camera lens support 10 times per second shot, but iPhone 5S can provide you the best of 10 pictures, this is also based on A7 capacity of large number operations.

 

The biggest difference of IPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in the camera lies in the lens material, aperture and the back of the flash. Of course, iPhone 5S camera on the photograph shooting is certainly better than the iPhone 5C better. IPhone 5C is also equipped with an 800-megapixel camera, but the aperture is ƒ / 2.4, and did not have dual LED flash.

 

Memory capacity difference

IPhone 5S on the insert memory capacity has 16GB, 32G B and 64GB for choosing. IPhone 5C in capacity only offers 16GB and 32G two versions. On Cell Phone Age com, unlocked refurbished iPhone 5s 16GB is only 196.35 USD; 32GB is only 221.14 USD. Both are much cheaper than official price.

Although there are obvious differences in all sides, both iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C models are equipped with Apple's new generation of iOS7 operating system. The new system perfectly supports for third-party Apple Assistant software and Apple assistant, you can download the latest games and applications free of charge. I believe a new generation of operating systems will completely release the potential of two models.
