Pros and Cons of Apple iPhone Without a doubt, Apple has created one of the world’s favorite and best selling phones on the market. Up to 2014, Apple was able to sell an accumulated 590.56 million units in iPhones. One of the things that Apple has done is mastered simplicity. Each and every single one of their products has been made to where they are simple to use and operate. Many people around the world complain about how they don’t know how to use an Android device but, the second they pick up an Apple iPhone, they are greeted with a simple layout and somehow already know how to use the phone. Although the iPhone’s software is easy to use, it is easily overlooked at how complex the hardware is set up. iPhone has come a long way since its …show more content…

This was the slogan to the iPhone 5. Although Apple did increase the size of the screen to 4 inches, this was still very small compared to most phones out there on the market at the time. Another con with the screen was the resolution. The resolution was only 1136x640 which is not technically high definition. Like the screen size, many smart phones were ahead of the iPhone 5 in this category (GSM Areana). Also the iPhone 5 did not have a fingerprint sensor while some other smart phones had already had them. It was not until the next year that Apple fixed this con and installed Touch ID on the iPhone 5S. There were many pros that came along with these three phones, mainly the iPhone 5S. This is because the iPhone 5S was one of the first phones at the time to have dual tone flash for better pictures in low light, slow motion video recording, a 64 bit architecture cpu, and an M7 chip for motion tracking apps which greatly improved battery efficiency.

Another pro to this phone was its appearance. This was the first and only iPhone, as of right now, that offered bright colors for its new plastic back housing.

As for the internals of these new phones, the cpu of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is incredibly fast while the 6S and 6S Plus are even faster. Every phone from the iPhone 5 to the 6 and 6Plus were only given 1GB of RAM and Apple gave the 6S and 6S Plus 2 GB. The cameras on these phones were phenomenal in quality in just about all aspects. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were capable of 4K video recording which was new to iPhone users but had definitely been around on other phones. These new phones seemed perfect but they did have their flaws. Some were significant while others were minor. One of the significant cons was that the iPhone 6 Plus was very easy to bend and could even bend in some cases if it was placed in someone’s back pocket. Apple did resolve this problem with giving the 6S and 6S Plus and new 7000 series aluminum housing (Apple). This new housing was significantly stronger and could hold way more pressure than previous models. Some people also
