Introduction

Announced at a press conference highly anticipated iPhone 5 is officially marketed since Friday, September 21, 2012. Apple Stores worldwide scroll saw thousands of customers and pre-orders were once again exceptional. However, the iPhone 5 is nothing exceptional property on paper. Innovations are non-existent and minor changes. Nevertheless, the launch of the iPhone 5 seems to be going well at the moment.
Mobiles in-Actus.com we melted into the ground last Friday and we stood in line at the Apple Store Opera, say it should be done at least once to understand the fans of the brand. Now we will try to test this new product innovation that Apple and the new iOS 6 that can be installed on many other brand products since 19 September.

Package Contents and Accessories
The iPhone 5 has a box still in the same spirit. The recipe has not changed except that the box is logically a little higher. Inside Apple book a compact power adapter that can also be purchased at 29 euros at the Apple Online Store. This is accompanied by the USB cable Lightning (new port owner) can also be purchased separately at 19 euros. There are always the little SIM card ejector. And finally, the iPhone 5 comes with new headphones EarsPod and storage case are also on sale at 29 euros. The box is white for the iPhone 5 white and black for black iPhone. By cons accessories always keep the white color so dear to Apple.

  
Side options, it is possible to buy an adapter to micro USB Lightning 19 euros a Lightning to 30-pin cable version (old port Apple) for 39 euros and a 30-pin Lightning to 29 euros. Apple has officially confirmed not to market its dock for iPhone 5.
Apple offers little new with the iPhone 5, more efficient headphones delivered in a small storage box. They are relatively easy to store, it is still necessary to take time. For the rest, it's classic and VGP-BPS26A accessories are still sold in a price range similar to previous versions. One can not help but make a point about changing port remains owner unfortunately. As a result, many accessories are not compatible and that's a shame. According to Apple, many props already working on new versions of their compatible produits.

iPhone 5 VS iPhone 4S

As you may know if you follow a regular mobile phone news, the announcement of the iPhone 5 has been marked by many critics. Many have criticized Apple is a great lack of innovation more or less moderate. We were the first to denounce a lack of risk-taking on the part of Apple to really surpass its competition. Apple has merely provide the bare minimum to provide a XPS M1530 hardware improved.

On the news, Apple has equipped its new smartphone processor A6 A5 house rather than present in the iPhone 4S. This performance are significantly improved without equal the most powerful smartphones on the market. We'll come over a little later in this test.
The iPhone 5 now offers a 4-inch screen 3.5-inch against the iPhone 4S and its predecessors. It still retains its density Retina (326 dpi) with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels 960 x 640 pixels against the previous model. We are still far from what we can see on Android smartphones or Windows Phone 8. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S III has for example a 4.8 inch screen and has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels which corresponds to a density of 306 dpi. Suddenly, the iPhone 5 grows a bit because now measures 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm against 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm. In addition to being thinner, the iPhone 5 is now much lighter with only 112 grams on the scale.

4G is now waiting for you on the iPhone 5! Well, not in France, where we'll have to settle for Dual Carrier technology, or more commonly known DC-HSDPA or H +. Beware though, the iPhone 5 released in France still have a chip 4G/LTE, however, it is unsuitable for the technology used by our operators in the deployment of 4G French, sorry. Let's say for the iPhone 5, it is not very serious for the moment since the network is far from ready in France.

Because Apple does not like to be everyone, the Dell Latitude E5500 company has developed its own SIM card technology. Precursor micro SIM, Apple now requires the use of nano SIM card type. Do not worry, operators have hundreds of these SIM cards in stock, and the replacement is free for most and only takes a few minutes in the shop or on the Internet.

Apple has also reworked its FaceTime video calling system. It is now possible, thanks to iOS 6, having conversations on the 3G network and not just WiFi. Better with the iPhone 5, the sensor front allows High Definition 720p while previous models were limited to VGA.

Design and finishing

 
Particularly criticized the design of the iPhone 5 iPhone remains in the mind, especially on the front. Since the first model, Apple has kept the spirit of its terminals. iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, exactly the same design. iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, the front has been maintained but enlarged to the dimensions of the new  Dell Vostro 1400  smartphone. The rear, meanwhile, has been completely redesigned. The glass has disappeared, giving way to a unibody metal shell which changes tone depending on the version. Bevelled corners of the iPhone 5 are very successful but are quite fragile. In two days of use, we already have a small scratch on our light white model. It is possible that daily, that iPhone 5 is unprotected to wear out very quickly. In addition, several items appear on the web regarding possible construction defects. We will not go so far as to use classic, we have not seen any abnormal wear. The iPhone 4 white metal offers more clear, it is brighter and a little gem, the iPhone 5 is unveiled in a completely dark look very classy. Our initial manipulations, the iPhone 5 seems more black mark fingerprints.

For overall finishes, there is no doubt, it's Apple. The  Latitude d630 materials are very good quality service of this design always beautiful (to our taste), even if little blame him for enough change compared to previous models. The buttons on the iPhone 5 are very strong, probably in part because they are still new on all the models we have taken in hand.

Interface and iOS 6
Apple renews little interface iOS some great misfortune and happiness of others. For our part, we would have liked more again for this new iOS 6. In our heads, the transition from iOS 5 to iOS 6 would have scored a certain break. iOS 6 corresponds rather to iOS 5.x. The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen, and Apple had to deal with this new format for applications. Now, the d830 Battery dashboard can display an extra row of icons. By cons, if an application is not suitable, a black band appears above and below the application. Probably a way to force developers to update their applications since it would also be possible for Apple to make the choice to use this space to display additional information. To cite only a few changes, is now available without Bluetooth submenu mode "do not disturb" appears and privacy settings are more accessible than ever before. In addition to Twitter, Facebook makes its appearance here and there in the menus of the smartphone. Note that despite a higher screen size, the keyboard has not changed much in size in horizontal mode, the keys are slightly wider and it retains its sensitivity.

Plans
The Maps application is a huge disappointment. On previous versions of iOS, the Maps application used Google data. Although the application was limited to basic functionality but it had the merit function properly. Today, Apple delivers a Maps application developed by him in partnership with major Dell Latitude brands such as TomTom.

We must recognize, the Maps application to a high quality, it is very fast compared to the previous version. Navigation on the map is much more fluid and practice, even in 3D mode (available on some cities, Paris is not yet available but yes Lyon, in France).

Beyond its side easy to use, defects accumulate to the point that micro-blog like Tumblr are created to identify the majority of errors of this application Apple Plans. I must say, the database of points of interest is significantly poorer than that offered by Google despite the use of very good service Yelp, unfortunately still common in France. Small detail, Yelp does not publish a notice directly, you can only write a draft and should go Yelp.fr to put online a big mistake! It is hoped that the service will benefit from this alliance with Apple to really evolve and upgrade. Note also that the points of interest are poorly positioned. Found small example, the UGC Les Halles in Paris was positioned on the wrong side of the Seine, problem?

Plans is not very flexible. If you are looking for an address or a point of interest, the slightest typo will not forgive. No suggestion will be made, the application will only display a nice "No". Plans may also encounter some problems positioning your point tends to move around the map when you have not moved.
Now Plans integrates navigation turn-by-turn. The  VGP-BPS13 application is very well made and practical. We tried it on a very short distance in the Paris region and the indications were sufficiently clear and understandable. We return to this point in the coming weeks if we encounter difficulties.

Siri
Siri is available from the iPhone 4S, the new iOS version 6 was much improved but failed to convince us completely. We still looking for real value even if opportunities are added to each new version. In any case, French comprehension has improved. You can now see the results of the Ligue 1 in France or visit the cinema, to find restaurants and points of interest around you. In addition to sending messages, you can simply update their Facebook status or post a message on Twitter.

Passbook
Passbook is a beautiful new Apple. This new application allows to combine in one place your boarding cards, discount cards and so on. For now, applications are very limited and it is difficult to give you a real opinion. In any case, if the airlines, travel sites, SNCF or other companies begin to follow this mode all Pavilion DV2000 digital Passbook has a very bright future ahead of him. For cons, the iPhone 5 does not have NFC and yet it would have been very interesting to exploit this type of use. For the moment, some supermarkets like Leclerc and Auchan are compatible passbook.

Mail and Safari
Side mail to begin the improvements are very minor. It is now possible to add photos directly into a message without having to go through the Photos application. In the same way, it is possible to embed images in a response or a transfer. Then, as on Mountain Lion, it is possible to highlight some contacts by placing contacts as VIPs. By cons, if you mark a message with a flag, synchronization is still not done with a Google Account and can not find the same promotion on the online version or any other email client.

Safari side, we found a faster display of web pages. This logical progression is not entirely due to iOS 6, but in large part to the  Latitude E6510 performance delivered by the iPhone 5. Regarding new features, there is now a full screen landscape mode handy. It provides better readability for web pages. It is possible to view the open tabs on other Apple products and iCloud takes care of synchronizing your offline playlist.

Shared photo stream
Small private social network integrated flux shared photos to share photos with any of your contacts who has iCloud, a Mac with iPhoto or Apple device compatible. The HP 484170-001 principle is simple, the user creates a new album and includes pictures inside, then they find themselves directly to your selected contacts who accept the invitation to access the album. Then everyone can post comments, or simply "love" picture. Damage, for the moment the video is not supported.

App Store
The Apple App Store has been completely redesigned. This new version offers significantly improved ergonomics. When downloading an application, the App Store will no longer close. The password is not required when an updated application and submission of applications has been completely redesigned. This new App Store is what is expected for several versions.

Performance
The iPhone 4S was equipped with an A5 processor type and the iPhone 4 A4 processor. The iPhone 5 now includes a processor A6, more powerful, more efficient. Apple is guarded against revealing the precise characteristics of the processor during the E6410 Battery product announcement. Finally, the only thing that has been clarified is that this new component allows the iPhone 5 to be twice as fast both on the calculation on the graph. It is also 22% smaller than its predecessor and uses less energy.

If we compare this processor that is in the world of Android, for example, surprise! The iPhone 5 is satisfied with a dual processor 1.3 GHz heart. Its competition is already quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz on average. And yet, the iPhone 5 is clearly not the slowest. If one refers to the benchmark tests, the Apple device is even in the top of the table.
Overall, according to several benchmark tests, the iPhone 5 would be about the same level as HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S III in general. In terms of graphics, the iPhone 5 is announced clearly before. Regarding the display of Pavilion DV7 web pages, the iPhone 5 is once again the fastest run JavaScript. Of course, these conclusions are derived from figures more or less revealing. But one thing is certain, the A6 processor brings a real plus to the navigation on the iPhone. All actions are fast, the games are fluid and very aesthetic. Even without a quad-core Exynos, the iPhone 5 offers performance rather unusual.

Level calls, the iPhone 5 takes advantage of several microphones that allow it to transmit sound really clear to the caller. Regarding the H +, we have unfortunately not been able to verify the theoretical speeds advertised by  Inspiron 6000 operators (Orange Sosh for us). Our test area was not covered properly not the technology.

Regarding autonomy, the iPhone 5 has been slightly improved. Processor power consumption has been reduced, which changes a lot the final result. In our case, intensive use of the iPhone 5 using all the possibilities the iPhone 5 has managed to hold twenty hours. To put you in a situation, we had 3 mailboxes push in permanent employment histories, many iMessage, surf the Internet and social networks, and we captured a lot of pictures in addition to taking advantage of other opportunities iPhone as application download and listen to music (about 3 hours).

Camera
No big news on the camera. Here, you can not blame Apple for not having made any effort to innovate because the manufacturer was already at the top of the market. Only a few smartphones hold the top of the chart image quality with occasional differences on the final resolution of the picture either Sony VGP-BPS8, Samsung and Nokia. Moreover, the iPhone 5 as the iPhone 4S uses a sensor from Sony.

The iSight iPhone 5 features an 8 megapixel sensor with backlight. This is coupled with a high quality lens elements in five glass which allows f2.4 aperture. Note that the competition is f2.0 or f2.2 rather, what is still better. The image quality is rather interesting, outside, the iPhone 5 delivers very nice photo. The flash LED interior load correctly expose the scene and not trigger stupidly at full power. Without flash indoors, the iPhone 5 will automatically mount in sensitivity but image quality is reasonable for a smartphone up to ISO 800 (value non-adjustable). I'll let you make your own judgment on some pictures below. New, Apple now offers Sweep Panorama, also available on the iPhone 4S, the overall result is satisfactory even if it is not done with the same ease as a real camera. Too bad we can not take pictures in 16:9.

Multimedia

 
For those familiar with the iPhone will not be surprised. The interface has been redesigned and improved, but the Pavilion DV5 features are the same. In the same way, the restrictions Apple are still there. Always go through iTunes to sync music and audio formats supported like video did not move. Music lovers can still enjoy high fidelity formats.

The top screen of the iPhone becomes wider in landscape mode and it is much nicer to view videos. The color and brightness of the screen give really want to look beautiful images of the iPhone 5. Still regret the number of formats that require to go through an external application and transfer again to your iTunes media. Otherwise, it must go through a long and tedious coding.
New Apple headphones come EarsPod replace aging white earbuds that we know very well. These new headphones have been developed over three years by Apple and allow users to access their quality at low price (thirty euros only). It is based on the observation that the headphones are often uncomfortable. EarsPod the direct sound directly into the ear through a very particular form. The EarsPod offer a rather interesting with its low but not too strong present of what to listen to almost any style of music. For headphones supplied default, Apple offers an excellent solution.

Conclusion
The iPhone 5 is around to criticize its lack of innovation and originality. And yet, in all fairness, the iPhone 5 is positioned as a smartphone comprehensive, efficient (not to mention the most efficient), but no real change from the previous. Still further, louder for this iPhone 5 that offers a dual processor heart as powerful or even more powerful than its competitors while maintaining a iOS interface 6 always easy but unfortunately without much novelty / innovation. The camera has not moved since the iPhone 4S, the photo quality is always waiting for you. We regret the loss of Google Maps for the iPhone. A monumental loss when using much the Maps application which is well below what Google offers. To conclude, this iPhone 5 is very good and is very different uses. The wave of criticism from a certain frustrations passionate about mobility, not just Apple see this lack of risk-taking increasingly common in this brand.
