iPhone 6 Vs. iPhone 5s- is new necessarily better?

With the release of the new iPhone, Apple users are contemplating whether its predecesor the iPhone 5 is still a good buy.

Here is quick specs comparison of the iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 5s:

Camera

The Fuse Jopelin reported, "While the camera does not come loaded with more pixels, the iPhone 6 camera is most definitely a step up by Apple.

When you launch the camera on this phone, the first thing you notice is the inclusion of a timer option. Also, the iPhone 6 camera comes with new video options. It features al all new 240fp feature for slow motion, which can be dropped up to 120fps which is what the iPhone 5s currently offers. The iPhone 6 camera also comes with a new time lapse feature with the ability to capture a few frames every second."

Display

iPhone 5's 4-inch display comes with a 1,136x640 resolution, making it incapable of playing Full HD videos. But its 377ppi pixel density that makes it impossible for users to notice individual pixels.

The iPhone 6 on the other hand has a 4.7-inch screen and a 5.5-inch screen for its Plus variant. As compared with the 5s, the new iPhone has a 1920x1080 pixel resolution with Retina HD IPS LCD display.

Battery

The iPhone 5S with its M7 motion processor and 1,560mAh battery gives the smartphone an excellent battery life. With its brightness set to just 50% and with other connectivity options (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS) turned off, the 5S battery can last up to 14 hours.

The iPhone 6 on the other hand is powered by a more powerful 1,810mAh battery. According to Trusted Reviews, the new iPhone's battery can last up to 35 hours of low mixed usage, and 14 hours of heavy usage in 50% brightness.

Operating System

Expert Reviews said, "Both phones now support iOS 8: the iPhone 6 ships with it, and the iPhone 5S can be upgraded to it. In terms of OS features, both phones have exactly the same range, except where hardware limits it. As noted earlier in this article, that means that the iPhone 6 gets a 240fps Slo-mo mode, due to its better processor, and a bigger and better keyboard, due to its larger display. There's really very little in it, though, and both phones run the OS extremely well."
