The graphics chip and processor are twice as productive as the iPhone 4s. Very attractive new iPhone due to the duration of battery life. Of course, it remained at the same level, although the size of the smartphone significantly decreased.
The camera of the new model remained the same - 8 megapixels, but there were options, for example, noise reduction, quality improvement in twilight and so on. You can shoot video even in FullHD format - 1080p, but the previous model had the usual HD resolution. Front camera iPhone 5 records quality video with a resolution of 720p.

Despite the fact that the display has increased to 4 inches, it has its drawbacks.

All this is due to the fact that the applications are designed to display 3.5 inches. It is possible that applications will overwrite and take into account changes in the screen size.
