The iPhone 5 recently hit the market, and with it some great new features that everyone was hoping it would bring. The first noticeable difference between the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4s is the screen size. Apple finally decided that it was time to increase the screen size as this was something that the majority of iPhone users were asking about. There are several other great features of the iPhone 5 as well. Here, we will explore them in more detail.
Maps
One of the new features is maps. This application is extremely detailed and offers graphics that are very clear. The map can be rotated and tilted to show exactly where you are. While there have been a few bugs with this feature, they seem to have been solved, which has made this a great new addition to the iPhone.
Camera
Apple made some wonderful changes to the camera on the iPhone 5. The camera is now 8MP and has HDR capabilities. This helps create pictures that have a much better colour and tone. Perhaps the best thing about the new camera is that it can take panoramic shots. An A6 chip works within the camera application to allow a person to move horizontally across a scene to create a seamless shot. Additionally, it is no longer necessary to download separate apps to rotate, crop, edit or enhance your iPhone photographs as all of this can be done directly from the application on the phone.
Siri
Apple took the time to make improvements to Siri as well. Siri has the capability of understanding quite a few more languages, which is obviously beneficial to those in other countries. In addition, Siri can create texts for the user as all the user has to do is speak and a text will be created. Whatever information that is needed can be provided simply by asking Siri to provide it. To make Siri more compatible, the iPhone 5 has several microphones built in that work together to provide sound that is clearer, which has also improved accuracy.
Other Features
The iPhone 5 has many other wonderful features that have been brought in. Apple did a great job of tweaking the minor things that people loved about the iPhone 4s to make them even better. For music lovers, it is now possible to listen to all of your favourite songs and artists in the iTunes library. Airplay allows a person to play music wherever they are in the world.
One of the other wonderful features of the iPhone 5 is that it allows people to send messages for free to any family members or friends who have any type of Apple device, such as the iPod touch, Mac, iPhone, or iPad. iMessage can be used in order to send locations, contacts, links, photos, and videos.
The iPhone 5 offers a frame that is lighter and more durable as well as a great new screen and wonderful camera. For those thinking of upgrading, the changes are impressive and well worth the cost of the upgrade.
