Compare iPhone 5s, 5c with iPhone 5 & 10 reasons why not to BUY iPhone 5s & iPhone 5c

1.Screen 

Both iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s has exact same dimension when it comes to screen size and body weight, However iPhone 5c has a negligible change, obviously to fit in the plastic casing.

iPhone 5                                              

Height: 4.87 inches (123.8 mm) , Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm), Depth: 0.30 inch (7.6 mm) 

Weight: 3.95 ounces (112 grams)  

iPhone 5s

Weight: 3.95 ounces (112 grams) 

iPhone 5c

Height: 4.90 inches (124.4 mm) Width: 2.33 inches (59.2 mm) Depth: 0.35 inch (8.97 mm) 

Weight: 4.65 ounces (132 grams) 

2.Body and Casing

No Eye popping change in either of the models launched, unless you are a big fan of colorful plastic phones randomly available in the market. Still the touch of gold and silver to iPhone 5s seems quite a delight, still not alluring enough to buy

iPhone 5

Available in Black and White color with the Signature Metal Edges.

iPhone 5s

Available in dual combination of Black & Space Gray , White & Gold, White & Silver.

Again with signature Metal Edges. 

iPhone 5c

Plastic body available in various color reminiscing the iPod feel , however a Big NO for a Smart phone as Apple

3. Display 

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE is the game I played a lot in my childhood, and here it comes again,
alas this time I couldn't find any difference in the last three models

4. Camera 

Many prospective buyers were expecting the new iPhone camera will certainly be of 13 mp if not more to meet the market standard release of Samsung and Sony Smart Phone cameras, however with the same 8 mp camera the only feature that's appealing in iPhone 5s is the burst mode, still not appealing enough for a snatch

5. Video Recording 

Zoom 3x while recording is something I would love to try, however with the same 30 fps recording as iPhone 5 which definitely makes amazing HD videos so why buy iPhone 5s / 5c

6. Camera Flash 

iPhone flash has always been under performing, hope the TRUE TONE flash might fill in that Dark Spots and gives a subtle Flash pictures enhancing the night photography

7. Power & Battery 

An ounce of improvement in new iPhone 5s/c only helps to serve as an underlined feature instead of a USP, most of the iPhone users never see their battery hit below 20% mark , as it results in the hardest 120 seconds of our lives before a iPhone is ready to re-use again after a complete POWER OFF.

8. Headphones

Same Ear in Earpods as iPhone 5

Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic in a Storage and travel case

9. Sensors 

The most Niche feature is here for iPhone 5s, providing a Finger Scan technology, proving the most advanced feature in any smart phone available so far, however the question remains

Do we really need a Fingerprint Scanner for our Phones ???

10. iOS 7

Finally With release of iOS 7 for other iPhone models there will be a Negligible difference in the newly released iPhone 5s/c . Not meeting the expectations of the market demand.

How to reach Phi Phi Dom, Phuket

After getting strangled at the Phuket airport as to no way to reach the town : hitch-hiking with a Canadian Sailor and he taking me to his hotel for shelter at mid-night in Chalang Bay :: brushing shoulders with Humans right from Australia to Alaska :: sailing from dusk to dawn :: diving without any gear in the deep sea and almost drowning to death : getting stung on face by tons of cute little colorful Jelly Fish :: dancing all night in the half-moon progressive beach party : spending the Valentines Day, Rock-Climbing on the most insane trails of 130 ft of limestone caves to get the best panoramic view of the Paradise Island after being bruised at knees and elbows to bleed the red happiness :: visiting THE PLACE where it's meant to be >>

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS ::: Blessed !!

1. Reaching Phuket 

There are various connecting flights either from Bangkok or from Singapore,and for those who like to have a road trip may Drive from Bangkok or may hop on to a Bus from Bangkok to Phuket.

I took my flight from Singapore and reached Phuket at around 2145 hours, Phuket airport is confined in a small building, looks more like a Concrete structure standing in the solitude of nature. Understanding that I have missed my last bus at 2000 hrs, I did not intend to spend my just converted THB(Thai baht) on private vehicles charging an exorbitant amount THB 800 when compared to that of local bus service THB 80, so I wait outside the airport in dismay.. Lots of Local van driver's howling and snatching customers to fill in their Vehicles heading to the city. As I open my bag-pack to unfold my sleeping bag to spend my night inside the airport building I see a young guy on a Moped dropping off his friend waving and hugging .. he wasn't even done with his send off I interrupted him with my ridiculous request of pillion on his moped into the city , he certainly didn't refuse, however continued his good words with his friend who was departing Phuket!

It took us around 65 minutes to reach the city on two wheels running at an average speed of 45kmph, however " Safety is the key" as he speaks, Ben, explaining to me his current affair with this beautiful town and the wonderful Thai Bay which he often dives, he being a Cave Diver from Canada, at 24 he looked older to his said age. Too much sea minerals I Guess .

It was past midnight and the city had a vivid calmness as we ride through various lanes to get me a hotel room, however after few tries failed Ben finally suggests to drop to his hotel which is 2 kms away at Chalong bay where I spent my night in a Shabby Room, certainly value for money only at THB 400 it was quite a bargain.

2.Reaching Phi Phi Dom 

The morning came with a surprise as I open my eyes to a beautiful Mighty Buddha Statue also known as "BIG BUDDHA". A Holistically huge Sitting Buddha covering cliff of the Mountain which is seen all around the Ocean as I take my ferry from Phuket's Rassada Pier to Phi Phi Dom , setting back THB 800 for a return journey.

I enjoy the 1hrs 30min Voyage clicking snaps and enjoying the sun & sea, my face tasting like a crab at the end of the voyage, certainly sun bathers occupied the top half of the steamer, and few left overs like me, instead of sitting inside an Air Conditioned comfort seat, prefer to climb on the stairs and hang with the anchor roller until some one ask to GTFO.. " No one did "
