Apple iPhone 5s review

During an era that hears terms like "five-inch" and "phablet" being hurled across Android phone reviews and the Oxford English Dictionary respectively, it came as a surprise to some that Apple stuck to its four-inch design for the iPhone 5s.
Pros:
  • Amazing camera
  • beautiful design and screen quality
  • fingerprint sensor works well
  • powerful processor
  • best app store available
Cons:
  • Many key software features available as free updates for previous models of iPhone
  • premium design and hardware comes at a price

There will always be a faster, better, more feature filled phone on the market, the iPhone will very likely never be the best phone available, but it...
Pros:
  • iOS 7
  • TouchID
  • Camera and Features
  • Performance
  • Design

Crappy battery, bad phone

My iphone 5 started giving me battery issues such as: a) it will turn off if you go outside and the weather is cold; b) battery life is way shorter than what's described; c) my phone is not even 2 years old and the battery does not hold charge (I never dropped or wet this phone).
Pros:
  • Small size
Cons:
  • Horrible customer support

I love this phone. It does everything I want and almost nothing I don't want. The only slight gripe is the fact that not all settings are accessible without Jailbreaking (which I don't want to risk).

iPhone 5S

As we've come to expect from Apple's S-range, the iPhone 5S represents a subtle enhancement of the previous model. However, it's considerably more powerful than the iPhone 5, Touch ID is a genuinely worthwhile addition, and that compact design remains one of the best around.
