iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5. Camera test.

Let’s see if new iPhone 5S camera is much better.

iphone 5S back

White balance of complex scene is much better due to two colored LED flash. So there is no more unnaturally yellow backgrounds on indoor shots with flash. See example below. Right is iPhone 5S, left is iPhone 5. Also note blue shadow behind the object. Two color LED flash has disadvantages.

Lightning to 30-pin adapters: MD823ZM/A vs LV-Lightning-01

Yet another fake accessory in my collection. Actually this one is copy design of product and package, but not call itself Apple MD823ZM/A. It has distinctive name (LV-Lightning-01), so one can see that this is not Apple product.

Left is Apple MD823ZM/A, Right is LV-Lightning-01:

Apple iOS maps (wrong)
apple-patona
