✅ What is the difference between iPhone a1533 and 1530 -

This page is archived and is no longer updated. A new section with technical characteristics of all iPhones can be found at the link provided. There are many instructions on the Internet for identifying iPhone models and generations, most of which are not clear enough. I decided to tell you as clearly and simply as possible how to determine the phone model.

iPhone Model Determination
Determining your iPad model

There are several ways to determine your iPhone model:

In iTunes, on the device tab;
By model number on the back of the case;
By external signs.

The first method is the simplest, but if for some reason you cannot connect your phone to iTunes, then you can look at the model number; if this cannot be done, then you can only determine it by external signs.

How to visually distinguish different iPhone models

If you are planning to buy an iPhone on the secondary market, and have never dealt with Apple equipment before, don’t be lazy and study the visual differences between Apple smartphone models.
This way you will immediately understand which iPhone is in front of you and not a single seller will fool you. Most often, confusion arises with the so-called “esques” that come out after global smartphone updates. They have a very similar appearance to the previous model.

Let's start with the most common models on our market, which every third person uses. Earlier devices are not as common.

iPhone 5/ iPhone 5s/ iPhone SE

Many Internet sites are literally filled with these iPhones with a 4-inch display diagonal. Outwardly, it is quite easy to distinguish them, but you need to know what to look for. It is on such devices that scammers try to deceive buyers by passing off an older iPhone 5 as an iPhone 5s or an “esque” as an iPhone SE.

Article on the topic: How to buy a used iPhone 5s

The screen size, dimensions, color and weight of the devices are almost the same. Of course, the iPhone 5 was not sold in gold, and the 5s in rose gold, but the craftsmen from Gorbushka will be able to install a case of any color on the desired model, so you shouldn’t rely on color.

Storage capacity: iPhone 5 16/32/64 GB, iPhone 5s 16/32/64 GB, iPhone SE 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 5 A1428, A1429, A1442, iPhone 5s A1453, A1457, A1518, A1528, A1530, A1533, iPhone SE A1723, A1662, A1724.

Why shouldn't you buy the iPhone 5S A1533?

Apple iPhone 5S A1533 is intended for America. This means that warranty service from an authorized service center is provided only in the United States. That is, if your gadget for some reason stopped working and your warranty period has not expired, but you purchased it in Russia, then most likely the store will send the smartphone to America. The repair period in this case will be about two months. If you live in America, then this model will suit you quite well; it will support 4G, only in the USA. Frequency ranges of Model A1533 - Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25.

How to distinguish iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s

The main difference between the iPhone 5 is the lack of a Touch ID sensor. The Home button has an icon and does not recognize fingerprints. This is visible both externally and by the absence of the Touch ID section in the settings.

Another significant point will be the flash on the back of the device. The older model has a round flash, while the iPhone 5s has an oval flash with two LEDs.

Why can you buy an iPhone 5S A1530, but is it still better than the A1457?

Apple iPhone 5S A1530, this model is intended for Asian countries, which means that 4G in Russian networks will only be supported on Beeline. The remaining networks in Russia have not yet expanded their equipment to have a large spectrum of frequencies. You will be able to provide warranty service at an official service center only in Asian countries. Warranty repairs are provided only by the store. In this case, you will have to send it to a service center in Hong Kong. You'll have to wait about a month. If you live most of the time in Asian countries, we recommend purchasing this model. Frequency bands Model A1530 - FDD-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20; TD-LTE Bands 38, 39, 40.

How to distinguish iPhone 5s and iPhone SE

Even experienced Apple equipment owners often get caught in this situation. Externally, the models are practically indistinguishable.

Some people see more chamfered edges on the ends of the SE model, but the changes are difficult to notice even in a direct comparison, so don't get your hopes up.

The main indicator for us is the marking on the back cover. The new iPhone has the “SE” index there. Keeping in mind the possibility of replacing the case, do not forget to check the model number in the settings of the device itself.

Article on the topic: When did the iPhone 5 se come out?

iPhone 6/ iPhone 6s

Here lies another potential scam site. Often they try to pass off the “six” as an “esque” and add an extra 8-10 thousand to the price of the device.

The models can be distinguished from each other by the back cover. The newer iPhone 6s has an “S” symbol on the back, and the iPhone 6s line also has a rose gold color.

Again, we don’t trust the appearance alone, we check the model number in the settings and the presence of 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s (you need to press hard on the application icons to call up the additional menu).

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6S 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 A1549, A1586, A1589, iPhone 6S A1633, A1688, A1700.

iPhone 6 Plus/ iPhone 6s Plus

Apple phablets have the largest display in the Apple line with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The body is larger than the regular 6/6s (158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm versus 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm).

The models differ from each other, just like the previous ones, by the markings on the back panel.

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 Plus 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6s Plus 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 Plus A1522, A1524, A1593, iPhone 6S Plus A1634, A1687, A1699.

Why should you buy iPhone 5S A1453?

Apple iPhone 5S A1453 This model is designed for Sprint networks in the United States. Again, warranty repairs at an official service center in the USA. LTE (4G) networks only on the Sprint network in US cities. You need to understand that if you often have to be in the USA, then the A1453 phone model will suit you. Model A1453 Frequency Bands - Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26

You should not buy cheap products, you need to buy profitable things. If you buy a model that is not serviced in Russia, it will cost you nerves, time, money, and problems. It's the same with any product.

iPhone 7/ iPhone 7 Plus

Last year, Apple demonstrated the iPhone 7, and there were quite a few visual differences. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on the bottom end of the case. From the back, the models can be recognized by the size of the camera module and antenna stripes on the top and bottom.

Article on the topic: What to do if your iPhone 5 is hacked

The iPhone 7 color line includes three new colors: onyx black, matte black and red.

Storage capacity: 32/128/256 GB.

Model number: iPhone 7 A1660, A1778, A1779, iPhone 7 Plus A1661, A1784, A1785.

Remember that iPhone cases are easy to change, and China has long been producing different covers in the style of new models for older iPhones. Visual differences will only help you get your bearings, but to accurately identify the model, look for its number on the back cover, box, and in the iOS settings (Settings - General - About this device).

Now you can safely go to our Flea Market and choose a new iPhone.

Regarding what is better than iPhones.

The smartphone market is one of the most hotly debated in modern technology, so it can be difficult to know which smartphone to invest your money in. The impressions from comparing Xperia Zet2 with Athos 5ES are sometimes different for one buyer or another. Why? There are several factors that you should keep in mind before you bargain and buy the best mobile phone. Let's take a closer look at a few details! Operating systems: Mobile phones have operating systems of different design and capabilities - iOS on iPhone, and Android on Sony. Whose operating system is better than Sony or Apple? This is an endlessly discussed question among consumers online! As a rule, preferences in choosing a platform are given based on user experience, wallet capabilities, the desire to gain greater control over fine-tuning the phone’s functionality, and the ability to interfere with the smartphone’s software. In Apple's iOS system, setting up the basic functionality is not difficult, but for security reasons, it is not possible for an ordinary user to interfere with the system or upload unverified files. In Android, the control center provides access to settings such as screen brightness, Wi-Fi and music playback, and other files. In a word, iOS is a closed operating system, and Android is an open source (customizability and openness for crazy hands). However, for a Windows Phone fan, this may not matter, in which case, buy any of them based on the following indicators. Appearance: Both smartphones use a combination of aluminum and glass for their bodies, each giving a premium feel. The key difference between the Xperia is its dust and water resistance capabilities. This is more suitable for the type of user who spends a lot of time outdoors or who wants to take photos “underwater”. Xperia z two is more bulky. In comparison, Sony's phone weighs 163 grams, while Apple's weighs only 112 grams. The iPhone five es is not only smaller and lighter, but thinner than the Xperia. This attracts the original views of others. Processor and Performance: You can look at clock speeds, core counts and compare them all day, but it's better to face the facts - both of these mobile devices offer good performance for the average buyer. Memory and data storage: In this area, the Xperia Z 2 has a counterattack in the form of a slot for a MicroSD card, it can accept cards up to a capacity of 64 Gigabytes. This means that, despite spending money, until Apple decided to offer expandable memory to the iPhone, the Xperia has the potential to have more space than the iPhone with the largest memory. Unique feature: A unique feature built into the main button of the mobile phone helps to distinguish the iPhone from its competitor Sony. The iPhone 5s has a touch fingerprint scanner that can be used to unlock the phone without entering a password. In conclusion, which is better: Things are such that many brand new products from Sony, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Ashtisi, Blackberry, Huawei, Philips, Asus, Alcatel, Meiza, Lenovo, etc. are compared with the iPhone, probably this is one of the hinting factors which smartphone is better.

At an Apple Store or on its online store, however, that's not the end of the story. Probably you are choosing the wrong iPhone 5S.

I say that because this is the most complicated iPhone's launch ever. If you choose the wrong iPhone 5S unit, you probably can't use it on your network. Therefore, you will need to do some research before going to the store.

Apple is offering six iPhone 5S models at the moment. They have similar tech specs and you can't distinguish them with your eyes. They all have the Retina display, dual LED-flash and also include all three color options, which are Space Gray, Gold and Silver.

The differences come from initial carrier distribution and network support because Apple designs them for different region and mobile operators.

Let's check out those models:

Model A1453
: This model works on CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B system (with 800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz bands), it supports 13 LTE bands (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26) ; UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). This is the most universal model as it could work on major LTE networks in the US, however, it is sold locked on Sprint.
Model A1533 (GSM)
: This is the GSM version of model A1533 which is being sold locked and unlocked for AT&T and T-Mobile. This is also the SIM-free international version of iPhone 5S, which doesn't include a nano-SIM card. It supports 11 LTE bands LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25), UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
Model A1533 (CDMA)
: This is the CDMA version of A1533. It works on CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) and is being sold for Verizon's customers. It supports 11 LTE Bands (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25), UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz ) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
Model A1457
: This is the model for European markets. It supports 7 LTE bands (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20) which can work on EE, Vodafone and O2 in the UK, it also supports UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900 , 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
Model A1530
: The model is tailored for Asian markets. It supports the 3 TD-LTE bands 38, 39, 40 and 7 FDD-LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, therefore, it can work well on TD-LTE network of China Mobile, the largest mobile operator in the world. It also supports UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
Model A1528
: This is the unlocked model being sold in China. It is just like the simplified GSM version of A1530 as it doesn't have LTE bands. It only supports UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).

The model numbers could be confusing but you must be extremely cautious. Make sure to check the model number printed outside the box before buying. Enjoy your iPhone 5S.

Despite the release of new iPhone models, the “old man” iPhone 5s remains extremely popular in Russia. Its affordability and easy-to-use form factor are complemented by a solid set of features, including LTE support. However, different iPhone 5s models support different LTE bands, which is something you need to keep in mind when purchasing a smartphone. A comparative analysis of iPhone 5s models and the technical capabilities of Russia's largest mobile operators will help solve the problem.

Two correct options

The iPhone 5S comes in four different models: A1533, A1453, A1457 and A1530 (the model is easy to find out - you just need to look at the number on the back of the device). Models A1457

and
A1530
support Band 7, which is most actively used by Russian operators. Thanks to this, there will be no problems connecting to 4G Internet on such iPhone 5s, regardless of the city and operator used. Of course, provided that you are in a place where your operator has 4G coverage. You can view a detailed map of 4G network coverage using the following links:

Two options to be careful with

Two other iPhone 5s models, A1453 and A1533

, Band 7 is not supported. But they support Band 3 and Band 20, which Russian operators are increasingly mastering. The problem is that support for these bands is not implemented by operators in all regions with 4G coverage. Unfortunately, the ranges are not indicated on the coverage area maps presented above, which makes the process of determining the possibility of using LTE in a particular region problematic. What to do in each specific case?

The best solution is to call your mobile operator. Find out in what range LTE is distributed in your region. If the range turns out to be Band 3 or Band 20, then you shouldn’t worry about buying an iPhone 5s with model numbers A1453 and A1533 - it will catch 4G. A simple search on the Internet can also help to make sure. Enter the model number of your iPhone 5s, city and operator name in the search engine. With a high degree of probability, users have already found out about the availability of LTE support for this specific model and region. You can ask us, right in the comments.

Briefly about why you should buy the Apple iPhone 5S A1457. You can take this model under warranty to an official Apple service center in Russia, and if it is a manufacturing defect, you will be given a new one. This particular model has the ability to connect to the fourth generation Internet network in Russia, the so-called 4G (LTE network), on any telecom operator.
