Review: With the iPhone 5S, Apple lays groundwork for a brighter future

Every year since 2008, Apple has released new flagship iPhones in a predictable cadence: on even years we get a new external design; on odd years we get a refinement of the previous year's design with upgraded insides and new hardware features.
Pros:
  • The iPhone 5 design is still sturdy and attractive
  • and "space gray" should hold up better to scuffs than last year's black model
  • Excellent performance
  • Good camera with improved low-light performance
  • though in low light especially some Lumia phones can best it
  • Lovely screen
  • even if some others...
Cons:
  • The fingerprint sensor is imperfect as a standalone authentication tool
  • and Apple doesn't (yet?) support two-factor authentication

  • 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

Review: iPhone 5s

Over the past week I've been bombarded with questions about the iPhone 5s. What are the new features? Is it worth upgrading to if I already own an iPhone 5? Many are curious about Apple's latest device, but aren't certain if it's worth upgrading to. I've spent the past 7 days using the device.

Great phone!

Love this phone. Big improvement over the iPphone 4S. Just feels better in your hand, bigger screen, easy to use. Only complaint is I wish the battery life was better. A year on, my charge is lasting less and less.
