Buy iPhone 5s or wait for iPhone 6? The preparation of Macitynet trying to solve the dilemma by listing six reasons that could still push to buy iPhone 5s without waiting for the arrival of the iPhone 6.
The iPhone 6 is coming, at least judging by the numerous rumors, which gradually become more pressing with the passage of time. The next September, or at the October, Apple is expected to finally unveil the next flagship smartphone.
It probably will be two: a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch model. It should still buy an iPhone 5s, or better to await the arrival of the iPhone 6? There are those who will tell you yes, but also those who, with good reason, I will say no. Here are the top 5.
1. Greater Maneuverability
Although still not official, the iPhone 6 will have dimensions almost certainly greater than iPhone 5s, The smallest model of the iPhone 6 should have a diagonal of 4.7 inches. This new format certainly fits the current trends, where high-end smartphones, the direct competitor of the iPhone, taking ever larger.
Think of the Galaxy S5, for HTC One, LG G3 and the Sony Xperia Z2. While a bigger screen will definitely make use of some of the most interesting applications, such as Safari, it is equally true that the new device will be less manageable and less portable. iPhone 5s, therefore, remain a smartphone more agile, that can be used easily with one hand, thanks to the elongated shape. With iPhone 4.7 inches, and certainly with the 5.5-inch model, it may be necessary to use both hands to handle it.
2. Price and value in use
Almost certainly the iPhone 6, especially in the 5.5-inch variant, will have a higher price than iPhone 5s. Currently, the smartphone of the flag of the house of Cupertino is available in several brands of electronics at discounted prices. On the sites of e-commerce specialist, you can find 16 GB iPhone 5s less than 600 Euros. Likely to buy an iPhone 6 will need to add to this figure a considerable sum.
In short, the price of the iPhone 5s is currently appealing. In contrast, the market of the iPhone has always maintained high prices, so it would be possible to resell your terminal without losing too much. Buy an iPhone 5s is little how to have a check in your pocket. You can change at any time. In short, buying 5s today, does not exclude the possibility of upgrading to iPhone 6 with the addition of a small difference. The buyers of the iPhone 5s could not fail to be sure, thanks to the rich hand market that revolves around Apple.
3. iPhone 6 Release Date?
Everyone is talking about a release date for the iPhone 6 nearby. There are those who hoped in September, October or who before the Christmas period. But is it really so? To date there is no certainty about the release date of the iPhone 6. The terminal may also be late to arrive on the market for the Apple will release at the same time the 5.5-inch model, which according to some sources will come only in 2015.
At this point, it remains a hypothesis, we add one certainty: at any time it comes, iPhone 6 almost certainly will not be available immediately, but only after a few weeks and when we will have it, it will be difficult to find. In practical terms, admitting that the iPhone is on sale in September, it is possible to buy ” prompt delivery ” will have to wait until after Christmas.
Who then has an old smartphone, whether it be an iPhone that another brand, now at the end of life, you may find it convenient to buy an iPhone 5s immediately, perhaps to sell it at the beginning of next year if their ambition is to have the new model.
4. iPhone 5S – Hardware
The iPhone 5s still remains a top end of the range that can compete technically with any other device on the market today. The 64-bit processor is very powerful and is currently not very exploited. In short, iPhone 5s still has much to offer in terms of power and reliability. The multimedia department is unrivaled: the iSight camera takes pictures of the best around, and the possibility of applying slow-motion video makes every movie a unique experience.
In short, photographers and video enthusiasts will find a valid device for the hands, which is unmatched by any rival. The presence of the Touch ID, finally, to ensure iPhone 5s a further note of merit. Even iPhone 6, almost certainly, will be equipped with Touch ID, but in all likelihood the technology will remain unchanged.
When one-day Apple decides to open the Touch ID for use with third-party application, even the owners of the iPhone 5s will benefit. In short, even from this point of view, the 5s remain for many years a model of iPhone forefront.
5. iPhone 5S – Software
With millions of iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5 in circulation is inevitable that the software available on the App Store will have, for a long time, be fully compatible with the current model of the iPhone.
No developer would agree not to deploy applications only compatible with the iPhone 6. Short, the risk of not being able to download new apps from the App Store for the months to come is certainly averted. The hardware of the current model of the iPhone will continue to be supported by the developers for quite some time.
6. iPhone 5S – Accessories
Another strength of the iPhone 5s is the vast amount of accessories on the market. By purchasing an iPhone 5s today you will have the assurance of being able to count on the support of tens of thousands of compatible accessories.
Protective Cases, dock, audio speakers, bracelets for fitness and so on and so forth. In short, from this point of view with the release of the iPhone 6, the current model certainly will not become obsolete. It appears, also, very likely, that a future iWatch is compatible with iPhone 5s. It would be counterproductive for Apple to launch on the market a product as expected and cut out the huge user base of the iPhone 5s owner.
Add the fact that iPhone 5s lightning has a connector that will, of course, also in the iPhone 6, making it compatible with all devices that are not strictly related to the form factor of the iPhone 6.
