Hier sind die Reviews zum iPhone 5c + 5s
Ich habe heute Morgen alle1 deutsch- und englischsprachigen iPhone-Testberichte gelesen, die den Pressevertretern mit Vorabmuster entsprangen. Viele sind uninspiriert, einige eine komplette Zeitverschwendung (ich empfehle die vier unten zitierten Artikel) und beinahe alle konzentrieren sich nur auf das (uneingeschränkt hervorragende) iPhone 5s.
Das ist für (technische) Reviews vielleicht nachvollziehbar. Das 5c besteht immerhin aus Komponenten, die bereits aus dem Vorjahresmodell bekannt sind. Trotzdem ist Apples buntes 'Mehrspaßdennje'-Telefon in der versprochenen (und anscheinend auch gelieferten) Qualität eine mindestens gleichbedeutende Veröffentlichung.
At its launch event Apple claimed the A7 offered desktop class CPU performance. If it really is performance competitive with Bay Trail, I think that statement is a fair one to make. We're not talking about Haswell or even Ivy Bridge levels of desktop performance, but rather something close to mobile Core 2 Duo class.
In practice, Touch ID has proved incredibly convenient. I always knew that entering my lock screen passcode and App Store password dozens of times a day, every day, was a hassle, but I had no idea how much of a hassle it was until I didn’t have to do it any longer. It’s quickly habit-forming, too. After just a few days testing the 5S, whenever I go back to my personal iPhone 5, I inevitably try to unlock it with my thumbprint without thinking — then silently curse its old dumb home button as I peck my passcode.) […]
The new home button is an upgrade in every way, even putting Touch ID aside.
Apple is never going to be a company that makes a phone for everybody. That’s fine, because everybody who isn’t smitten with its products has other worthy choices. But with the iPhone 5s and 5c, Apple is finally offering new models for two different types of somebody. Just as important, anyone with an iPhone 4, 4S or 5 can upgrade to iOS 7, Apple’s freshest thinking on what a smartphone operating system should be in 2013 and beyond. Which means that the news isn’t just about two new iPhones. It’s about a whole new iPhone, period, and millions of people who thought they had old iPhones will be along for the ride.
Apple still believes in superb design and tremendous polish. The iPhone is no longer the only smartphone that will keep you delighted for the length of your two-year contract — but it’s still among the few that will.
