iPhone 5S vs. iPhone 5

2013-09-20
the iPhone 5s is finally here but is it worth the upgrade from the iPhone 5 hey guys its brand a minimun from pocket now in this video we're gonna compare the 5s with the 5 let's get to it ok so we're gonna do a bunch of speed tests and really see if there's a difference but first let's talk about how these guys look from the front here on the iPhone 5s we have the fingerprint sensor down here surrounded by black metal now if you get the silver version this will be silver or the gold version this will be gold which actually looks a lot cooler on the silver and gold models because on the black it kind of blends in it doesn't really pop like it does on the silver and the gold models now if we kind of move this in the light you can see that the home button is now flat and it really doesn't feel flat because it still dips in a little bit whereas on the iPhone 5 and every other iOS device we get that concave home button which feels nice because you can feel for it very easily but similarly you can do the same on the iPhone 5s because you've got a little Ridge here the the metal sticks up just a little bit besides that looking at them from the front you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you had color variation going over to the side they are the same exactly the same on the back you do see another difference back here the cameras are a little bit different we've got a smaller lens on the 5 slightly bigger lens on the 5s and you can kind of see that in the light we've also got that dual LED flash there is an amber flash and a white flash only a white flash on the iPhone 5 what this will do is take pictures that don't come out really like bright white and we're going to do a lot of camera tests comparing these in the final review so you can see if that actually makes a difference and it really really should now we're gonna turn on these devices at the same time obviously we're looking for the 5s to be significantly faster than the 5 it's got a 64-bit chip which really should make a difference so let's turn them on and see which gets on first they're set up with the same backup so they're really running the same apps let's check it out one two three and the iPhone 5s is already off to a faster start and in iOS 7 the boot animation matches the of your phone so black and white okay and the iPhone 5s got to the lockscreen faster significantly faster than the iPhone 5 and there we are and right now it actually appears as if the brightness on the 5 is higher so let's just equalize that for the sake of making this a fair video and I'm just going to turn on full screen brightness and right away you can tell that there's no difference between the screens we've got a different wallpaper sure on the 5 but if you look at like the Starbucks icon and the calendar icon they're both the same amount of brightness so what we want to do now is open up some apps and see if there's a difference with the iPhone 5s so we were just in settings let's do that again absolutely no difference there go back to the home screen let's open the Weather Channel app a little bit faster on the 5s definitely faster on the 5s let's go to Safari and we're gonna bring up pocketnow.com here at the exact same time 5s got it done a lot faster still going on the 5 and this is kind of funny right because the 5 is a very very fast aah-ha phone and let's scroll down the page and see what it looks like see if we get any sort of checker boards or anything like that very smooth on both though it looks like it's slightly faster on the 5s let's go to another webpage will bring up favorites here let's go to the verge go it was actually faster on the iPhone 5 there let's go to another page let's go to and gadget mobile missed that so instead we'll go to Gizmodo and they're off and iPhone 5s finished slightly ahead of the five now let's launch the camera app that's always super important that always seems to lag a little bit so one two three go exactly the same that's amazing but here on the iPhone 5s we have this new slo-mo function where else we don't have that on the iPhone 5 because it takes a little bit more of that processor to get there let's do a double tap on the home screen exactly at the same time there are just really small differences one place you'll definitely definitely notice it is in gaming especially games that have been optimized for 64-bit asphalt 8 has not been optimized for 64-bit but it gets a huge bump in loading time on the 5s so one two three go so you can see splash screen happened first on the 5s so that's pretty pretty a pretty big difference there I clicked on that one first and let's load the race and we'll play a little bit of the game and see if we notice the difference this is the most graphically intense game I can think of for iOS right now we're a little bit ahead here on the 5s I'm gonna try to play both at the same time no I'll do one at the time so here's the 5s usually pretty terrible at games but I actually should be pretty good at this one I play it a little bit too much so graphics look really fantastic get the splatter effects on the screen and really no choppiness let's check out the the iPhone 5 here which is on mute and similar performance perhaps it's really tough to tell I'd say that they're probably about the same and that's because it's not optimized for 64-bit but we do get faster load times on the iPhone 5s definitely another thing you get on the 5s that you don't get on the 5 is fingerprint ID our touch ID as Apple causes so we can back out here and go into general and you can find the fingerprint passcode stuff down here we did a separate video on that and we'll link you to that but basically with the iPhone 5s you can save some seconds by not having to type in a password for high tunes when you're downloading apps and for when you're getting into your phone from the lockscreen you don't have to put in your password if you have one it's a time saver if you use a password otherwise it's a little bit of a novelty let's load YouTube because you know video takes a while to load sometimes and let's swipe over here we'll go to uploads and we'll play a video and see which queues up faster so we just did that fingerprint sensor setup video so to have it at the same one two three go a little bit faster on the 5s started first on the thighs which is very interesting so a lot of the time these two phones are very equal in terms of performance apps come up a little bit faster let's go to Spotify here so as you can see just a beat faster it's really not that big of video where we're going to see improvements when developers start rewriting their apps for 64-bit that might be weeks it might be months and you might not see any performance increases if you have a 5s unless you're playing games so the summary of this video is that the iPhone 5 is still a very fast phone and if you're considering upgrading to the 5s you've got to think about the camera and we're gonna have some camera samples in our review you also have to think about that fingerprint sensor because the speed difference really isn't tremendous and so you have to keep that in mind it might be weight worth waiting for the six if you have a five and you're thinking about upgrading so that's it for this video a little comparison of the iPhone 5 versus the 5s let us know if you have any questions drop a comment thanks for watching
