Hidden features and capabilities iPhone 5S
Many smartphone users are unaware that it has the secret features of the iPhone 5S, which can be used for more comfortable work.
Hidden features of Touch ID
The built-in fingerprint scanner is an alternative to the usual access to a smartphone using a PIN code (password). The digitized fingerprint is stored directly in iPhone 5S. The user can choose between unlocking the smartphone by finger identification or pin code.
Technology Apple ID can be used for authorization in parallel with scanning a fingerprint. Fingerprint identification is used in services App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store. Developers did not rely solely on fingerprint identification technology. The ability to enter a PIN code after three unsuccessful fingerprint authentication attempts is retained. It is also used to unlock after reboot, disconnection and long inactivity of the smartphone (more than 48 hours).
Hidden low light shooting capabilities
The iPhone 5S focuses on the camera for photography and videography. Manufacturers have taken into account the fact that most smartphone users use devices for taking photos and videos. In the cameras of its predecessors, photos in low light turned out to be fuzzy and not very high quality.
The innovative iSight camera eliminates this disadvantage. Good low-light performance is achieved due to the larger sensor and F2.2 optics. An interesting fact is that the resolution remains the same – 8 megapixels. But the main feature that allows you to increase the quality of photos in low light is the sophisticated technology of the two flash LEDs working together. Due to the different intensity and shade of the glow, high clarity of the picture is achieved in poor light. The technology allows you to select one of thousands of combinations to achieve high-quality images, depending on the lighting conditions.
Plus, useful secret features of the iPhone 5S include burst shooting at 10 frames per second. It allows you not to rely on human capabilities, but to select the highest quality images from a series of images. Hidden features include 120fps slow motion in HD quality. It allows you to capture the movement of fast objects.
Hidden battery capabilities
The battery capacity has been increased by 10% compared to its predecessor iPhone 5. It is 1570 mAh (5.96 Wh). Which for 2013 was quite a good value. The increase allows the smartphone to stay in standby mode for about 24 hours longer (data according to the manufacturer's calculations Apple).
The user can use the smartphone for 10 hours for talking over 3G, surfing the Internet in LTE and Wi-Fi, watching video information. On such a charge, you can listen to audio recordings for forty hours. It should be noted that these indicators do not apply to the Chinese counterparts of the iPhone 5S, which lose their charge much faster.
Hidden software features
Added iWork and iLife apps in iPhone 5S. These are whole software packages. IWork software is represented by Numbers (working with spreadsheets), Pages (word processing), Keynote (creating presentations). The iLife package includes the multimedia programs iPhoto (work with snapshots), iMovie (video editing of clips).
These hidden iPhone 5 features can be purchased at App Store.
But owners of new iPhone 5S get these packages for free. They can be downloaded when you first launch the online store. The branded set includes podcasts, iBooks, iTunes U, as well as programs from the iWork and iLife packages.
Background image in body color – a little secret iPhone 5S
An interesting and pleasant moment is the default setting of the screen background color similar to the body color. Models iPhone 5S have cases in 'Gold & White', 'Space Gray', 'White & Silver'.
