CC#1 2nd Semester

     Based on Will Shanklin's article, "iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4s vs. iPhone 4" he believes overall that the iPhone 5 is the best out of the 3 current iPhones. Will compares the iPhones qualities to one another to see what they have to offer. Additionally, he compares and contrasts their Dimensions,Weight, Display,  Processor, RAM, Storage, Wireless, Battery, Camera, and Intangibles.

     "There are noticeable boosts of speed in each successive model. The A6 chip in the iPhone 5 is a screamer, breaking smartphone benchmark records. Though the A6 was originally believed to run at 1GHz, 9to5Mac and TLDToday report that it dynamically clocks itself up to 1.3GHz (it may also underclock too, to save power). The iPhone 4S still performs well for a modern smartphone. The two-year-old iPhone 4 is a bit sluggish for 2012 standards." Despite the iPhone 5 being A1 more the iPhone 4s and A2 for the iPhone 4, makes the Internet on the iPhone a lot faster. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 offers "unprecedented performance," allowing it to have almost double the the MHz that the iPhone 4s has.

     However, the great achievement that many love about the iPhone 5 other than the other iPhones is the display! "Though the pixels-per-inch (PPI) are identical, the iPhone 5 display gains an extra half-inch of real estate. This ups the resolution and shifts the aspect ratio to an oblong 16:9. Longtime iPhone users may find it strange at first, but will soon appreciate the extra room for apps, photos, and web pages. Apple also opted for a thinner display in the new model. Combining a layer of touch sensors also brings those pixels closer to the surface. The company also boasts of 40 percent greater color saturation in the iPhone 5." Overall, the iPhone 5's dimensions are a 1136X640 with a 4-inch IPS. The dimension of the iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 are a 960X640 with a 3.5-inch IPS. That being said, the iPhone 5 is also a lot lighter than the other iPhones, also a bit longer.

     "The iPhone 5 takes Apple's handset into true 4G speeds, with LTE (where available). Actual LTE download speeds can range from 8Mbps to upwards of 40Mbps, with low latency to boot. It may be faster than your home broadband connection." Nonetheless, the iPhone 5's Internet speed is faster than the other iPhones. The iPhone 4s runs on "4G," but they prefer to call it "3G+;" is faster than  3G, but not in the same league as LTE. Depending on one's carrier, "LTE" for iPhone 5 is spread out just about anywhere if one has Verizon, says Will Shanklin. AT&T does not cover as much ground, in other words, does not hold the ability to cover nationwide or cover certain places.

    To conclude, the author Will Shanklin argues that the iPhone 5 is the best iPhone out as of now. He compares and contrast one another with facts. Additionally, he claims that if one happens to get the iPhone 4; they will be "rocking" a 4 year old smartphone when the contract ends.
