MAJ. Transition model requires the new iPhone 5s are inside. Because if has the same aesthetic refinements that his grandfather, the iPhone 5, the new iPhone 5s shows especially much faster, even better for the photo and is based on a very clever sensor fingerprint.
True to its logical transition began in 2009 with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone Vintage 2013 therefore appears to be an evolution of the iPhone 5.
Same aesthetic, rewarding finish or 4-inch Retina display codes, the visual differences between the glorious iPhone 5 (which disappears from the iPhone replaced by a questionable line 5c) and its successor are slim.
An aesthetic setting
New colors, silver, gray and gold, a Home key rimmed metal coated sapphire, and a dual LED flash on the back, little evidence to distinguish between the two machines.
The button layout on the wafer is unchanged, making the Lightning and grids for micro and single speaker, always there either. Same story next sound reproduction iPhone 5s delivers good sound, loud and clear, but still single.
A similar, but still attractive design, Apple's smartphone is still a standard in perceived with its aluminum finish and premium quality assembly. Its weight and thickness is always moving as content, 112g on the scale and 7.6 mm.
After one year of use, our black iPhone 5 has shown signs of wear, especially at the joints between the ceramic / glass and aluminum. Ditto for the back cover decked out in ugly scratches.
This year, priority should be given a gray iPhone 5s, less delicate and split 39 euros for Apple's new iPad, available in different shades of leather very successful.
On one hand
So much for aesthetic considerations. Side grip, no change either. The iPhone 5s offers 16: 9 we always consider as ideal.
An elongate for use with one hand with the thumb up to the top and bottom of the screen Retina 4 inch (1136 x 640 pixels or 326 PPI) format.
Ergonomics that fits perfectly with iOS 7 and logic of vertical and horizontal navigation to move from one web page to another with one touch / finger for example. Thoughtful and effective use.
Those who want a more comfortable screen size go in front, the proposed phablet Android is mature this year with very successful machines (Ultra Z, Note 3 for large diagonal or One for a good compromise).
Optimizing hardware and software mastered
Marketing pitch for the moment, Apple goes for the first time on a smartphone to 64 Bits. A more logical than necessary evolution, only native applications exploit the theoretical potential.
Chipmakers Qualcomm and Nvidia also pass the course this year, so Apple is forging ahead with an Apple A7 which will manage the future more RAM.
In practice, the new A7 SoC Apple already offers advanced starting with the actual execution speed.
If we remain in the presence of a double heart, and optimization software offered by Apple hardware still wonders just panic and benchmarks.
Performance that output benchmarks, however, seem difficult to assess, no "Killer App" is not really illustrate this raw power. There can be no doubt that games will soon enhance this exceptional config. The visual slap Infinity Blade 3 already provides some good indications.
The iPhone 5s presents itself as the most powerful machine when leaving an impression of immediacy in handling tasks.
Web browsing, application opening, games, everything is naturally much faster with the 5s.
Unlike the iPad, which happened in 128 GB, not listed storage for iPhone development. It will be satisfied with 16, 32 or 64 GB, still not extensible. Very large consumers will go through iCloud box and remove the CB.
The connectivity also does not move with the dual-band Wi-Fi a / b / g / n, Bluetooth 4, H + and of course 4G now fully compatible with our hexagonal standards.
Movement with the M7 companion
The Apple A7 sees supported by a new processor companion said.
This M7 coprocessor dedicated to iPhone 5s sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope and compass just relieve the load generally entrusted to the SoC calculation.
Promise, a finer and more efficient battery management of these sensors.
The iPhone 5s know when you're driving, walking and even while you sleep! In practice, the aim is to get the side of the trackers kind of activity or fitness Fitbit or Pulse, Nike + will also be updated in this sense, games and improved GPS navigation.
Much theory and potential, no application clearly support from the interest of the companion processor for now.
A finger tip
The most visible change is the one that caused the most media relays, said the biometric sensor Touch ID. No security system is inviolable and sensor fingerprint Apple does not escape the rule.
However, we fully adhere to the concept that good use should facilitate the user experience by replacing the input password to unlock your smartphone, purchase content on the App Store, iTunes or lock applications.
Located under the Home button, now encircled and protected metal surface of a sapphire, Touch ID is clever, easy to use and most importantly, responded to a quarter second.
But habits seem hard to dislodge U.S. Cnet, if an illusion in the first test day, we obviously would quickly the "slide to unlock" and password. At least that is the opinion of our colleagues questionable.
As is usual, Apple has paid particular attention the photo part. The iPhone 5 was already an excellent camera phone, the 5s is even better!
Technically, if an 8-megapixel Sony original is found, it has 15% larger pixels (1.5 micron) and has an opening that passes f: 2.2 (f: 2.4 on iPhone 5).
As a result, our iPhone 5s is much brighter, more indoors or in low light conditions, and produces sharper images. It will not always be necessary to use the flash.
And if it is too dark, the flash will be more effective. Flash "True Tone" which relies on two LEDs, hot, cold and adapts to the environment to optimize the color temperature.
So a flash "smart" that benefits the full potential of the Apple A7 SoC and new image processor (ISP).
Raw power to a burst mode (10 frames / second) while pressing the physical release (volume keys + -), an effective automatic stabilization (no optical stabilizer) but also focus much more rapid development.
Side return, our colleagues have made pleasure and shot under different conditions and it is the close-ups the iPhone 5s really dig away.
Remarkably detailed with an effect of shallow depth of field photos, an "almost" bokeh that is usually found on reflex cameras.
Another new slow motion video. Korean and Taiwanese competition already proposed the 120 frames / second on their S4 or One but on a definition better increased to 800 x 450 pixels.
The iPhone 5s offered him idle in either 720p 1280 x 720 pixels, which ideally use of these slow motions popularized by the action cam as the GoPro.
Note also that the sensor on the front for FaceTime video now popular password in HD and also take 15% larger pixels so bright.
Autonomy barely improved
The day use overtaken by iPhone 5 is extended and even slightly improved with a battery that goes from 1440 à 1560 mAh.
In video playback continues with the airplane mode and brightness reduced to 50%, the iPhone 5S held 11 hours before On a use considered "normal" for our colleagues, there were 20% charge after a day's work.
Where to Buy
The iPhone 5s undeniably has enough novelty to abandon your iPhone 4 or 4S age.
For owners of the current iPhone 5 far from obsolete, it appears difficult to advise the new flagship of Cupertino. As often with Apple, it seems wiser to skip a generation and wait for the iPhone vintage 2014.

Is that this ID Touch and currently reserved only native Apple app, and if the potential is there for third app, payment for example, it will take a bit to make it a reality .
Functional with the fingers (hand but also the foot) or Cat's Paw, Touch ID logically shows some limitations when in contact with wet or partially raised fingers on the Home button.
After three failed attempts to identify the footprint, iPhone 5s will suggest you to retype the password, a suggestion which becomes mandatory after 5 failures. Reassuring.
