IPhone vs. SE IPhone 5S – a big difference in performance and better camera – MacWorld

A few weeks ago showed up Apple Iphone SE, a new mobile phone with a screen of four inches to replace the faithful old servant iPhone 5S. On the outside they look virtually identical out, so it may be appropriate to account for the differences.

Same design – but the new color

Clean design terms provides Iphone SE no news compared to the iPhone 5S or iPhone 5 for that matter. The dimensions are identical (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm), while there is a slight difference in weight (113 grams for Iphone SE and 112 grams for the iPhone 5 and 5S).

What apply the screen is exactly the same panel in both SE and iPhone iPhone 5S, which means a resolution of 326 pixels per inch (640×1130).

a visible difference is that the iPhone SE is available in pink gold, a color that was missing on the iPhone 5S. If you do not like pink, you can choose the space gray, silver or gold instead.

One advantage Apple has chosen to keep the design is that all the cases for the iPhone 5 and 5S can also be used with the iPhone SE.

Considerably better performance

Under the surface, the difference is the greater, and it is here that we find the heavy arguments for the upgrade.

iPhone 5S has a Apple A7 processor with quad-core graphics chip PowerVR G6430 and 1 gigabyte of RAM, while the iPhone SE has an Apple A9 processor with the six-core graphics chip GT7600 and 2 gigabytes of RAM. Briefly, this means twice the CPU performance and three times the graphics performance.

For storage space provides iPhone SE 16 or 64 gigabytes, in other words there is no model with 32 gigabytes. Here, these are therefore fewer options compared to the iPhone 5S and you should think carefully before you choose the model to 16 gigabytes.

bigger battery and better camera

When it comes to the battery, we get 1624 milliamp hours in Iphone SE, compared with 1560 milliamp hours predecessor. In practice, however, the difference is negligible.

One of the best news of iPhone see is that we are treated to a much better camera on the back. While we had to content ourselves with 8 megapixels in the iPhone 5S is now 12 megapixels that apply. You also get the ability to record video in 4K resolution.

As for the front camera, it is no difference compared to the iPhone 5S. In other words, you have to settle for a paltry 1.2-megapixel FaceTime calls and selfies.

Both the iPhone 5S and iPhone SE supports Touch ID, but only the latter has support for Apple Pay. The old model lacks namely the necessary NFC chip.



Small differences in the software

Although both the iPhone 5S and iPhone running iOS 9.3 GB, there are actually a few differences in software. For example, you can use Live Photos of the new model, but not the old.

Do you always have access to Siri is also Iphone SE comes, here it is sufficient to say “Hey Siri” for the voice-controlled assistant to be activated. On the iPhone 5S, you must activate the function manually by pressing the Home button.



MacWorld buying advice

If you have an iPhone 5S or earlier and want to be able to take better pictures, record 4K video, and use the Apple Pay is Iphone SE is a great upgrade. The main argument for choosing Iphone SE is still the size – it is smaller and more flexible than larger siblings. Are you among those who think that 6 and 6S (not to speak of … Plus) is beefy, this is an obvious choice.

iPhone


Many users have become accustomed to greater mobile phones and you have an iPhone 6 or later, it may not be so tempting to go back to a smaller screen .
