First impression of the FOCUS online technical experts: Stained against noble - So ... - ABC Online

two new iPhones and many different housing colors, Apple braces against the growing Android competition. FOCUS editor Mattias Matting had both versions in Berlin already in hand. After the first rapid test only one thing bothers him.

The smartphone market is now so huge that is satisfying with a model hardly any customers. Apple’s Phil Schiller noted that in correctly at the launch of the new iPhone. And therefore there is now no longer just “the” iPhone, but a model in precious metal and a second in plastic. In Berlin, where Apple has pushed the new phones at the same time for presentation at California Cupertino prying journalists from all over Europe to try out in his hand, was for the plastic model 5C two tables, reserved a table for the precious iPhone 5S.

Retrospect, it should be a wise decision to first take the iPhone 5C in hand. It is a phone, I would give it to my kids: It feels light, but it is still stable. And its 4-inch screen fits perfectly into the hands of adolescents, which can not be said of the 6-inch giant displays current Android models. With different cases you can still increase the durability, also, new color combinations result. Even the operating system adapts to color. Otherwise, differences are barely visible to the iPhone 5, but that is in the almost identical inner life and no wonder. iOS 7 is so far the only technical progress.

elegance for adults

The iPhone 5S at the next table, however, is an adult smartphone. It sits comfortably in the hand. One notices at each corner and edge that has worked here precisely. The fingerprint sensor is not visible from the outside, under the Home button. He remembers up to five fingerprints, so you can also grant access to their own mobile phone family members. However, it is not possible rights management, all fingers can do anything

The camera is the second highlight. Allows you snapshots into stunning quality. Can be set manually as little – but the automatic is apparently better than many amateur photographer. Since the camera app accesses the sensor, no third party should be programmed similarly clever. In burst mode (ten frames per second) and slow motion (HD movies at 120 frames per second) you will notice the power of the new processor.

Too low discount

The iPhone 5S is superior to its colorful 5C brother all in all, by far. This is bad for two reasons: First, the 5C costs just 100 euros less than the 5S. For an iPhone 5 in plastic optics, this model is clearly too expensive – and this, perhaps to inspire Android buyers for Apple. Because technically the 5C is a year old. And for at least 600 euros? Here is the suspicion that Apple wants to make the telecom providers such as Vodafone or a gift. Because they can then get a good discount provided by Apple to sell their two-year contracts with cell phone adding better

point. 2 – if Apple now offers two current models, which differ so much in performance, it will probably soon be a be two class society among the apps. Or, if the Apple deliberately prevented the capabilities of the iPhone 5S use the apps just do not look right. There’s also the iPhone 4S remains in the program, will the app from the Android landscape in iOS soon probably more similar (in the bad sense).
