Despite the simplicity of the question (Do I buy the new iPhone?), The answer to it is not easy. Perhaps the answer was easy for the previous decision to buy the iPhone 4S, which was simply summarized in if you own an iPhone 4, then no less than that is possible, but with the iPhone IPhone 5, the answer is more complicated. But let us help you in making the decision and analyze together, is it really worth developing my phone and switching to the iPhone 5?

in Our detailed article about the conference We mentioned that Apple detected the iPhone 5 and updated all the iPod lineup, and Apple has already fulfilled all traditional expectations except for the presence of NFC technology. We have indicated in an article About Apple's official response regarding not providing this technology in the current device. The question that preoccupies every current iPhone user is: Should I buy an iPhone 5 or not? Are the new specifications worth paying for, for a new device? What are these specifications compared to the previous iPhone? All these questions we seek to answer in our article, where we will explain the features of the new device in detail, so that you can finally make your right decision?

The four-inch screen changes the look of the phone

Changing the shape of the phone and the materials used in its manufacture One of the main features of the iPhone 5 also the size of the screen is the black horse of Apple and its main weapon in selling the new device, just as Siri was the reason for the sales of the iPhone 4S and its advertising focus as well, Apple hopes to repeat the same thing with the iPhone IPhone 5 and taking advantage of the main feature, which is a 4-inch screen, and what is new is that Apple has increased the screen size only in length and kept the display of the phone as it is and the main reason is to make the phone comfortable in the palm of the hand and usable with one hand as much as possible. In terms of the general appearance, everyone who has seen the iPhone 5 in fact described it as the jewel of phones, just as the Rolex watch is the most valuable in terms of industry accuracy, so the iPhone 5 is the most valuable in terms of quality of materials and mastery in manufacture, and before we proceed to the conversation watch this video that compares Between iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S in terms of shape and screen size ...

The change in the screen is not only in size but also in the technology used. Previously, Apple used to make the screen from two layers, the first is the screen and the second is the touch sensor, and between them was a vacuum of air, and this vacuum causes a decrease in the color saturation and viewing angle, but in the new device Apple used the same The technology that Amazon used in the new Kindle Fire is for the screen and the touch sensor to be one piece, and so the air vacuum disappears? Which helped to increase the color saturation by 44%, as well as, of course, improve the angle of view and view the device's screen better in different lightings compared to a previous iPhone.

Comment iPhone Islam

The screen of the new iPhone is great and allows for better visibility and clarity more, which helps you to browse the Internet and read books more smoothly, if the screen is of interest to you mainly and you feel that the current iPhone screen is small and not sufficient for your use, then the new iPhone is the best choice for you.

LTE networks support

The iPhone is a global phone, so Apple sought to develop the device networks that it supports to allow you to make the most of the Internet speed in your country, so it supports UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA as well as 1428G LTE networks, but the fourth generation networks in the world are different and not uniform frequency so The current iPhone comes with three copies, the first CDMA, which does not interest us greatly, as this type does not exist (almost) in most Arab and European countries, and the second version is GSM A4 and it supports the fourth generation networks of Type 2100 which are frequencies (1700/17 MHz) and Type 700 It is frequency networks (XNUMX MHz), and these frequencies are available in the United States of America, therefore So be careful From purchasing the iPhone GSM A1428 ... The third model is the global type, which is the A1429 model and supports the fourth generation networks of Type 1 (2100 MHz), Type 5 (850 MHz) and finally Type 3 (1800 MHz) and this frequency (1800) is used by Etisalat and Du in The UAE, as well as some Arab countries, are experimenting with 5G networks on this frequency, so if you want to buy an iPhone XNUMX, buy it A1429 only. (This is of course if you are interested in LTE technology, and even if you buy another model, do not worry, everything will work for you, but the fourth generation speeds will not work if the service provider in your country supports it)

Comment iPhone Islam

If the speed of surfing the Internet is a major factor in purchasing the new device, we recommend that you buy the new iPhone model A1429, even if your country does not provide 21G services, but the iPhone also supports HSDPA with a speed of 42Mbps as well as DC-HSDPA with a speed of up to 4Mbps. IPhone 14.4S supports HSDPA with a maximum speed of XNUMXMbps, but if you think that the current iPhone speed is suitable for your needs, then there is no need to buy the new device and pay additional money in a feature that you will not benefit from.

If you feel that this point is not clear enough, do not worry, we will devote a full detailed article to explain the fourth generation networks in the iPhone 5

The speed of the machine

The iPhone 4S is fast and everyone attests that and we have not heard complaints about the slow speed of the device, so when Apple mentions that the iPhone 5 will be twice the speed, this is a wonderful thing worth trying, especially in games that contain high-quality graphics to see this high speed, another important factor which is an increase The memory size becomes 1 GB, which is double that of the iPhone 4 and 4S, and this increase allows you to speed and also increase the amount of applications in the background without the iPhone closing them to save memory space.

Comment iPhone Islam

If you are a fan of large-sized and high-quality games, we recommend that you buy the device, but if your use of the iPhone is traditional, such as regular games, surfing the Internet, reading books and running other regular applications, you will not feel the difference in speed, so there is no need to pay more money for a feature that you will not benefit from, yes Apple mentioned That such-and-such application will open in half the 4S period, but these applications take two or three seconds to open. If you reduce the time to one second, you will not feel the huge difference in the applications but you are You will feel it in the powerful games that will be released in the future specially designed for this phone. It is your usage that determines whether or not speed is a major factor.

Photography

The iPhone since the first generation has a camera more than wonderful and competes with other phones' cameras because Apple cares about the accuracy and quality of the image and not its size, which is a common mistake that many people fall into when they hear that this is an 8-megapixel camera and this is a 5-megapixel camera. The fact that “megapixels” is the size of the image, not its quality. You can refer to our previous article via this link To learn more about the evolution of the iPhone camera ... In the iPhone 4S, Apple made the biggest development in its history in this camera, so when it released the new iPad, it moved the camera to it, and on the iPhone 5, Apple used the same camera as well, but it worked to add several updates such as improving photography. In low light and the ability to take pictures while shooting video, reduce noise in photography, take pictures faster:

Another simple development in the camera is to improve the photography in the front camera to 720p versus 480p on the iPhone 4S, which enables better quality FaceTime calls.

Comment iPhone Islam

Perhaps this is the first time that we see a new iPhone without a dazzling development in photography, the iPhone 5 camera of course Best From 4S but it's not the big change that makes it a catalyst for device change.

Other changes

  • IPhone 5 battery performance is roughly equal to its predecessor.
  • The iPhone 5 is lighter and thinner, making it more comfortable for long calls. (The weight of the device may be a strong factor in its spread)
  • IPhone 5 dual-band Wi-Fi networks, enabling you to connect to the Internet with more quality.
  • The iPhone 5 comes with the new Apple EarPod, but old iPhone users can buy it at $ 29 from the store.
  • The iPhone 5 comes with a small socket and is characterized by being more fast, but it means that your accessories will not work on it (an adapter can be purchased at $ 29, but it will not fit all accessories, unfortunately).
  • The iPhone 5 contains 3 microphones, which improves the quality of the voice, whether in calls or filming videos, as well as Siri recognition of voice commands.
  • The iPhone 5 has a clearer and better quality sound system than the iPhone 4S.
  • The iPhone 5 will get Siri with the same specifications as the iPhone 4S without any distinction.

A word from the iPhone Islam

  • Previous comparisons in this article were made with the iPhone 4S as it is the previous generation directly, and in some points there is no clear difference, such as the performance of the battery, photography and Siri, so if your current device is 3G / 3GS / 4, of course the new iPhone is an ideal option for you to upgrade. In that, the difference is big in almost all the specifications of the device. As for the 4S users, they are confused about whether to upgrade or wait for the iPhone 5S next year :)
  • We advise you to be patient and not rush to buy a new phone for two reasons:
    • Firstly, there is no nano chip in most Arab countries yet. If you buy the new phone immediately (the price will be exaggerated), you will not be able to use it as a phone without the availability of the chip.
    • Secondly, to make sure that the new phone will support the fourth generation networks in your country (even if the frequency is supported) and whether it has any defects or not.
  • This article is Just advice only Basically, the purchase decision is reviewed for you We just think with you and make some points that may help you make a purchase decision.
  • We will individualize several specialized articles on each part of the device and make you an expert in its specifications before it reaches your hands.

Blog administrator's word:

The iPhone 5 is undoubtedly a wonderful device and so far there is no strong competitor to it, do not listen to those who compare the iPhone 5 with any other device, we do not use the iPhone because its memory is larger or its processor is stronger even if it is so, we use this device because it is very comfortable and practical in Its use is thanks to the operating system and the quality of the applications in its store and not the components, a device weighing 112 grams and its shape and accuracy of manufacture compared to the quality of jewelry and jewelry making is a device worth buying without a doubt, and so far there is no strong competitor that convinces me to change this device, not because other devices are not It is good, but because it does not have a good operating system, so far the Samsung Galaxy SIII device has not got the latest version of the operating system it is running on, while one of the oldest Apple devices that is no longer manufactured which is the 3GS will get the latest version on the same day like the last Device.

Yes, I agree with you that Apple did not dazzle us and did not provide anything that breaks boredom, but I do not blame Apple, but rather the competitors who, until this time, have not been able to dazzle us, except with false slogans that become apparent as soon as they seize one of their devices and try it out an actual experience. In any case, we are not fanatics of Apple or others, but we hope that a strong company will emerge that changes the market again, and we will be the first to support it.

Now, after this comparison between the iPhone 5 and 4S, will you buy the new iPhone?

NoteWe hope that the questions and comments are limited to the technical information .. As for the price of the device, when it will be available, and how to buy it, this is something that we do not know about. We give you technical information and provide analyzes based on our experience and our specialization. As for selling, buying and supporting Apple products, this is not our specialty.
