hey guys it's Branagh minimun from pocketnow.com and in this video we're going to compare the iPhone 5 with its predecessor the iPhone 4s let's get to it okay so wants to talk about here and we're going to start with hardware we're going to talk about specs screen speed of the device how fast they are browsing the web and also battery life so so let's talk about hardware first as you can see the iPhone 5 is simply taller than the iPhone for us in fact if we stack them side to side and give you kind of a bottom view you can see that they're exactly the same in terms of the width down here on the bottom you can see that the old iPhone had a speaker here and a microphone here on the iPhone 5 you get speaker here and the microphone here now one thing I wondered was whether this speaker is louder than on the iPhone 4s and I can say that it's slightly louder but not by very much you can also see that on the iPhone 5 the headphone port is now on the bottom very different backs on these two we've got a glass panel here on the iPhone 4s which as a lot of people know that have the iPhone 4 and for us shatters quite easily and finally they added sort of a metal aluminum backing which does a great job at deterring fingerprints it looks nice but you still have glass here and here that I can't help but wondering what happens if you drop the phone and these parts shatter they're probably very difficult to swap out whereas on the iPhone 4s a shattered back meant that you just took out these screws slid in another cover and you are good to go something else I want to point out back here is that the iPhone 5 has a sapphire crystal lens cover what does that mean well it means that it's much more difficult if not impossible to scratch the lens which is very important not too long ago I crack the back here and I had to get a replacement and when I swapped the ODE back which included a glass lens cover with the new back the quality of my photos improved because as I then discovered my lens was scratched and so that's a big problem if you scratch your lens six months into owning an iPhone your pictures are going to come out worse so Apple got smart and they they put a much harder material here on the lens cover we also microphone here which will help with audio coming from the back of the phone and make HD video a lot better we've got the same resolution camera here very similar camera system but we've got some new software and some small tweaks to the iPhone 5 cameras to hopefully help in low-light performance and we're going to have comparisons on photo and video quality in the final review on pocketnow.com going over to the side here we can see that the iPhone 5 is essentially how thick the iPhone 4s would be if you remove the top and the bottom glass panels you just had the metal bend it's essentially just a metal Bend and Apple polish the edge of it to give it a really nice look and as you can see here the Micro SIM slot has gone to a nano SIM slot and you can actually cut a micro SIM to a nano SIM shape in case you're wondering if you're on a prepaid plan or if you're getting an unlocked iPhone and you want to use your existing SIM card you can do that if you just cut your micro SIM to a regular SIM up on the top not much has changed here except there's no microphone here there's a microphone somewhere else and there is no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack over on the side again not much has changed on the iPhone 5 this is really a minor detail the silent toggle switch has moved up about a millimeter just to kind of stretch out a little bit and beyond that we stole the band's although these bands are now color specific to whether you have the black phone or the white phone obviously they are white because this is the white iPhone 5 now let's talk about specs with both of these we've got a dual-core 800 megahertz or so processor on the Apple iPhone 4s and on the Apple iPhone 5 we've got a 1 gigahertz dual-core processor with a smaller manufacturing process which means that it should be more power fishing and definitely it is smaller and that's very important because Apple fit a lot of radios into this really small form-factor which actually feels it's really hard to describe it actually feels smaller than the iPhone 4s even though it's taller now let's talk about other specs the screen resolution has changed 960 down by 640 across on the iPhone 4s that was never standard resolution they didn't adhere to 720p or anything like that and they didn't adhere to 720p with the iPhone 5 we've got a really weird 1166 resolute or 11:36 resolution again a really weird number that's hard to remember by that same 640 so as we're going to see in a few minutes there are apps that really don't work to the full screen size so you get a lot of apps that kind of hover in the middle of the screen which really isn't that big of a deal on apps will be updated in the near future to take advantage of the higher screen risk now Apple claims that this screen is the best screen on the market that has better color saturation is that the truth well let's see so we're going to unlock and both of these devices have nothing running as you can see so we're going to do some speed tests but first a note on quality of the screens and in the unboxing I showed you the photos icon so here it is on the iPhone 5 and then look at it on the iPhone 4s up here as you can see the yellows are a little bit more yellow the greens a little bit more green the blue is a little bit more blue there's no question that the iPhone 5 is better color saturation than the iPhone 4s in fact let's open up Google Images and we'll open up a high-res image and we'll compare something more real-life side to side by the way what you're seeing out is a white screen these are both on middle screen brightness and they're on automatic screen brightness so technically they should be about the same brightness level what I'm actually noticing is that the screening on the iPhone 5 is a little bit more gray I'd say it's a little bit more warm than the iPhone 4s and that's kind of funny because the 4s was warmer than the iPhone 4 which was a very cold display okay so we're going to bring up a common image here okay so I just did a Google Images search for beach I want to zoom in on the screens a little bit and one thing that you can see with the iPhone 5 is that because the screen is larger you get to see more on-screen elements so whereas before on the iPhone 4s you have to scroll down to see the pagination now it's all in one frame so let's click on the same image here and maybe we'll get a high-res version maybe not we'll click full size image here okay that's good so let's zoom in a little bit and definitely the color temperature on the iPhone 5 is far warmer in fact in the sand it looks like actual sand over here it kind of looks a little bit more white maybe this is a Caribbean scene where the sand is actually white but it just seems like the color saturation is is better the sky here is kind of a turquoise issue blue here it's more of a deep blue and let's go back and click on a different image let's go to this one with the palm tree that's nice get some green in there we're going to go into landscape on both of these so we get that full screen view interestingly the iPhone 5 is really taking its time on this particular particular image we're going to do web browsing speed tests in a moment but right there it kind of failed so here's what it looks like here's a palm tree looks like we can zoom in and see kind of the different details in the leaves and again a very different color saturation here a lot darker here on the iPhone 5 some might like some may prefer the cooler temperature of the iPhone 4s and some might like the warmer tone of the iPhone 5 which is probably a little bit more true to life okay now let's see which of these devices is faster obviously the iPhone 5 is going to be faster but let's see to what degree we're going to open up Facebook at the exact same time which has actually is faster on the forest which has been optimized by the way to fill the entire screen unlike some of the other apps that you're going to see now Apple is encourage developers to take advantage of the taller screen by adding more stuff instead of just by making the screen longer as you can see Facebook didn't follow that and they just sort of made the screen longer which I guess works well in an app like that let's jump back to the home screen okay let's launch the camera now okay significantly faster on the iPhone 5 and you can see that Apple took better advantage of the screen space by making the shutter button kind of the same size as you would get here on the same size as the home button which is interesting a lot of people now are using the plus button the camera plus button to take the photo but it's nice that for those that like to use the on-screen controls it's a little bit bigger in the iPhone 5 okay now let's test Siri what's the weather going to be tomorrow iPhone 4s is ahead okay the iPhone 5 sprung ahead a little bit faster let's do something else with Siri what's 4 times 3 divided by 3 okay so the iPhone 5 coming out slightly ahead although interestingly the iPhone 4s converted it faster but the five answer the question just a little bit faster so let's continue opening up stuff so we're gonna open up settings here a little bit faster on the five but really barely let's open up a third-party app New York Times app will open up newsstand and by the way folders open up slightly slightly faster on the iPhone 5 but they still haven't change that and that's kind of unfortunate and Android folders open just so fast it's awesome in iOS it's always been that little slowness so we're gonna tap on new york times here have it open this has been optimized for the full screen size this opened a lot quicker than the iPhone 4s ok let's open speedtest.net it's another third-party app hasn't been updated for the taller display as you're going to see in a sec well identical and as you can see this is what happens in the iPhone 5 when it's not optimized you get black bars it's not that big of a deal some people say you should get the black iPhone because it's less apparent I don't really notice the difference I kind of wish that Apple had brought this to the bottom though so it's closer to the bottom of the phone so when you're typing it's more comfortable now let's do a Wi-Fi test over the same exact Wi-Fi network be kind of competing with each other ok faster ping on the on the 4s faster download on the 4s faster upload on the on the 5 so that was interesting really inconclusive there and finally let's open another third-party app let's just open the Apple Store you know Apple should tell their own developers to optimize for the new iPhone 5s because this is not yet a tits up that most up to date okay now let's do the all-important web browsing speed test will launch a Safari C which opens faster about the same there we're going to go into favorites favorites opened about the same we're going to pocket now and iPhone 5 got there a little bit faster not by much scroll to the bottom go to the desktop site here something a little bit more intense if I can get at the same time oops it's not so easy okay a little bit uneven there we'll try it again in a sec okay so the iPhone 5 is already done there well zoom in very smooth the text clears up almost instantly although it does kind of likewise here on the on the iPhone 4s will click on this image go to the next page iPhone 5 finish iPhone 5 just has incredible web browsing performance I can't wait to see how it stacks up against the galaxy s3 let's see how long it takes this video to load it's a YouTube video another press maybe ok let's go to another website now let's go to the verge and here's another example of where the iPhone 5s taller screen is great you can see a lot more of your favorites let's go to the verge a little bit faster out of the gate there with the iPhone 5 ok let's move down the page let's load their desktop site very image-heavy ok they're off at the exact same time the iPhone 5 won the iPhone 5 outperforms the iPhone 4s and web browsing there's no question about it kind of move around the page let's just click one more link for good measure that won't jump into a little bit of gaming okay iPhone 5 and it's oddly loading a video ok that's great up there we go kind of far behind there let's go back to the home screen alright let's do a comparison with gaming we've got Shadowgun here it's a high FPS game pretty intense let's see which launches it first first of all though we'll play it a little bit the iPhone 5 is a little ahead and I want to deal with this Game Center stuff and as you can see shadow gun has not been optimised for the higher res display so we're going to play it just as if it were an iPhone 4s which I guess is good because keeping the playing field a little bit more equal here so when hit play for some time that was exactly the same and shelepin original game keep easy alright iPhone 5 slightly ahead there but barely loading see if we can tell the difference in graphics much much much faster game times here we're still waiting here only - for us which means a good job is expected rest okay since the iPhone 5 finish first let's play with that a little bit so we'll try to get in close on some texture so we can see sort of the ground let's look at some light see if there's really any difference very nice graphics let's take out the iPhone 4 see if we can notice any difference do the same thing we'll kind of go over here I'm not to get this video you know it's really help difficult to tell the difference here they both look really good and I don't even think I'm in the same spot I'm actually kind of confused up I want to be able to hear there you go Kevin kind of bad at this game so let's see what the Sun looks like get the same flares let's turn on and look how it will get that fire same kind of thing and we're kind of in the same area here what is noticeable though is that the fire is redder and more orange on the iPhone 5 compared to the iPhone 4s and finally we've some app updates here let's see which of these devices installs app updates faster I hate waiting for apps to install let's see if there's any difference between the two hopefully they won't ask me for a password okay good okay you can see the progress bar is much further ahead here it hasn't even begun there it's starting on the 4s and as you can see it simultaneously started podcasts before Yelp was finished and that's really interesting about the iPhone 5 it installs multiple apps at a time whereas the iPhone 4s only does one or two at a time so podcast is almost done here and it's done so app installations are so much faster on the iPhone 5 which is a nice little touch and what about battery life well it's too early to tell we're going to take this out and use it in the real world but we can tell you is that while filming this video both of these devices have gone down by 6 percent they've both gone down the same amount we've been doing the exact same thing to both of them so maybe that's an indication that the battery life is about as good maybe it's a little bit bad hopefully it is a little bit better so if we you enjoyed this comparison of the iPhone 5 in the iPhone for us the iPhone 5 is definitely faster generally speaking installing applications browsing the web launching most apps although in some cases the iPhone 4s keeps up just fine which is a testament to how pretty good the iPhone 4s still is the hardware is is really night and day you no longer get that annoying glass panel and it just looks so much more mature and elegant with this metal backing and the thinner design and the polished edge it's just a really nice package and I feel like this video please give us a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now you
