Review Apple iPhone 5 Smartphone

[Redaktion]

It's a... smartphone. With the iPhone 5, Apple has introduced the sixth generation of its smartphone family. The Retina display now measures 4 inch, the case has been redesigned, and the new Apple A6 chip provides a boost in performance. NFC, the widely used 720p screen resolution, or a carrier-independent LTE module are missing. What does Apple have to offer for a starting price of 679 Euros, and where does the California brand lag behind?

Overall Great Article and a Great Phone but in the end you wrote 16GB of ram. ???

Thanks for the catch. It's not uncommon for technical typos to slip by during lengthy translations.

please make a review of new LG Optimus G, and compare it to Iphone 5 and Galaxy S3. Im sure it beats all the competitors.

Also there is written sRGD instead of sRGB in the display section. Not an issue really for anyone aware of what all these color gamuts are  :)

is not just 1 GHz processor... apple never tell you is only 1 GHz...

Great Review.. It covers almost everything about new Iphone5.

But.... Will it blend??

For the first time I am starting to doubt the veracity of this great site's test. I am not saying the product is a crap but 90% gives impression that it is one of the best :-)...

Better than the iPhone 4S but still far from the bigger Android competition and even new Windows 8 phones.  Pretty sad really.

Your numbers for the battery and current consumption don't seem to add up.
Given a 5.45 Wh battery and minimum consumption of 0.4 Watt ("the lowest possible result") I somehow can't quite figure out how you ended up at 22 hours.

Given a basic formula for battery life where Battery Life = Watt Hours / ( Voltage x Current in Ampere) or in this case Battery Life = Watt Hours / Watt I don't see how you get 22 out of 5.45 / 0.4. For that to work you will either need lower power consumption, e.g. 0.2 Watt, or a larger battery..

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to be the case, but I think it is a little too optimistic in reality. I'd guess we'd have to wait a couple more years to get that kind of battery life. Same goes for the wifi life of ~16 hours, which is well above the ~13 hours you would get at 0.4 Watt consumption (unless of course that is not the actual "lowest possible result").

We measure the power consumtion at the power plug, so the power brick adds into the equasion. Therefore, you cant just take the battery size and the power consumption and calculate the battery runtime.

Apple builds every thing unique and this phone is solid and faster
