iPhone 4S or iPhone 5C: which one is cheap and best

The iPhone is the desire of many people object, but you can not always buy the latest versions of the devise. So for those interested in a smart of Apple, but want to save, there are still options as the iPhone 5C and iPhone 4S in the domestic market. But which one is best?

Performance: iPhone 5C

The iPhone 5C has Apple A6 1.3 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and have the options of 8, 16 or 32GB of storage space. The iPhone 4S, in turn, relies on the previous processor, Apple A5, a 1GHz dual-core, and only 512 MB of RAM. It has the same options of internal memory with the addition of 64 GB.

That is, the numbers show that the iPhone 5C is able to offer better performance than the iPhone 4S. What is more than normal, in order that one was the successor of the other. The difference is especially great in RAM, which doubles, becoming the most powerful 5C to perform various tasks "simultaneously".

Operating System: Draw

Although there is a difference of hardware, software, at least for now, they are equivalent. Both updates are available for the 8.3 version of iOS . The trend is for this to change, perhaps as early as the iOS 9. Support for iPhone 4S should end at least one year before the iPhone 5C, an important point to be considered.

Design: iPhone 4S

Apple invested in a plastic iPhone 5c, which did not please many people. Both the iPhone 6 did not have a 6C version - at least, so far. Everything of course will be related according to the public, but the more traditional premium finish of the iPhone 4S has a nicer design than 5C, despite the more modern footprint model.

Dimensions: Draw technical

The sophisticated design of the iPhone 4S makes it to be heavier, with 140 grams compared to 132 grams of the iPhone 5C. It is also thicker than his successor, with 9.3 mm to 9 mm from the 5C. It is hardly a big difference, but there is, and should be noted.

As the width and height of the iPhone 5C, which are larger than the 4S, with 124.4 and 59,2mm, respectively. In 4S, only 58,6mm and 115.2. That is, the 4S is thicker, heavy, while 5C is more slender and big one. The user must choose which one fits best in their day to day.

Screen: iPhone 4S

This is a point of comparison a bit surprising. It is true that the 5C screen is bigger, but the 4S has more quality. With 3.5 inches and 640 x 960 pixels provides 330 ppi, while 5C, with its four inches and 640 x 1136 pixels, only have 326 ppi. Again, a small but significant difference.

The extent ppi indicates the pixels per inch on the screen. The higher the number, the greater the level of detail that can have a picture displayed on the display. This is important - because not always a higher resolution, as in this case, ensures better image. It also depends on the size of the screen.

Cameras: iPhone 5C

The improved front camera of the iPhone 5C causes it to be the best in this category. After all, nowadays selfies are more fashionable than ever, and a VGA camera as the iPhone 4S, is pretty hard to make a quality. Not that the 1.2 MP which are offered on the iPhone 5C are great, but they are already better.

In terms of main camera, no difference: photos up to 8 megapixels and videos with 1080p at 30fps. LED flash, autofocus, HDR, face detection and smile, everything is the same on the iPhone 5C and iPhone 4S. On the front, however, only the 5C have videos in 720p, which allows better quality not only in selfies but also in FaceTime.


Pricing and Availability: iPhone 4S

Doing searches comparator prices on the Internet, one can find a difference of up to R $ 500 between the two models. The iPhone 4S, oldest, can be purchased for approximately R $ 990, while the 5C has values of around R $ 1,400 - both models with 8GB of internal memory.

Conclusion: iPhone 4S

The hardware difference between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5C does not justify the difference of R $ 500 between them. Today, both are already "outdated" models, but who still have the Apple system in the latest version. Its main cameras are similar, the battery also, and in addition, 4S design is bolder, and there is a tie in the technical dimensions.

Normally, when you pay more for a gadget, it is expected to set significantly better than the predecessor. It's not what happens in this case. So if your goal is to save, invest in 4S. And if you want something more advanced, collect money to buy the 5S or maybe the iPhone 6.
