Top Smartphone, unfortunately much too expensive.

I use the iPhone 5S business and have to say that it is my favorite business mobile phone to date. Before, I used a Samsung Galaxy S4, before the iPhone 4S and temporarily also the Galaxy S2.

Processing:
The iPhone is processed as usual top, jiggling volume control I could not find me. For me, for example, the S4 one of the biggest criticisms of the chrome-colored frame, which after some time (as well as the S2) peeled and read a matte dark plastic emerge. The new Home Button is really loud and not quite so perfectly integrated into the case as even its predecessor, but that does not bother me personally.

Power:
The performance of the 5S is truly remarkable for the size, you realize that everything comes from a single source. The operation runs smoothly and almost without Mikroruckler that which should achieve a significantly better performance in the data sheet thank my Galaxy devices, always disturbed. Unlike many other manufacturers, it provides Apple always an even lighter mobile phone with smaller dimensions, but to develop better performance. When I think of the S5 appearing now ... Honestly, it's not hard to offer better performance if you over and over again to build the whole device larger and heavier. But that's just my opinion.

Touch ID:
At first I was not happy at all with this. Although the Touch ID worked reliably, but I had my fingers every week Reread because they were no longer recognized. Meanwhile (since iOS 7.1) works for me but everything properly, unlocking fingerprint goes quickly and reliably by hand.

Apps:
A blessing! The included apps from the home of luxury apple are all functional and serve their purpose. Whether now memories, the calendar or such as Pages, everything is very comfortable and intuitive to use. The AppStore is very clear, but there is not by far the same number of free apps like the Google Play store. Well, 89ct are not really the world, but I do not see paying for some standard apps money that would have to be actually already integrated into it. What also an enormous plus point for me: No Bloatware! I think it is an outrage from Samsung Apps as "image", "MyTaxi" or other to integrate from the outset on the smartphone and even if you are deleting those apps they downloaded anew with every update. Impudence, what I need please dementia in the form of the BILD app on my phone ???

Camera:
A couple of beautiful filters and a solid camera, good white balance and autofocus. HDR Auto is also very nice, generally located HDR images at an astonishing rate can shoot in sequence. The resolution of 8 Megapixels is okay, definitely enough for normal use. Hobby photographers or professionals get anyway a proper camera.

Price:
So now the negative part of the review. The price of the smartphone is totally unjustified. It might be easy 100-200 euros cheaper, you pay only the brand name with. The 100 euros difference between the 16, the 32 and the 64GB edition is a bad joke. The memory card (coming anyway all of Samsung in Apple) costs about 10-30 euros depending on the size. And Apple requires the same NEN 100er surcharge, which can and I do not understand.

Overall it can be said that the iPhone is a top smartphone, but also very good are androids. Personally, I like the ease of use better than the personalization options, but here everyone must decide for themselves. And regardless of which smartphone you also decides this whole Apple VS. Android nonsense really does not have to be.

Tastes just different.

SUPPLEMENTARY ------ ----- 04/29/2015

The mobile phone is now for almost 1 1/2 years in operation and I could find no faults. The paint on the sides does not flake as with the iPhone 5, thanks to Cover the smartphone looks almost like new.

Amazing is the sapphire crystal at the home button and the camera, here can be seen even in direct sunlight, no use trace.

I recommend to anyone who wants a cell phone in a reasonable size to strike here. The price may scare, the quality (software & hardware) that you get here is the money but worth it.
