A respectively fast processor, excellent build quality and a great operating system, but has since been replaced by newer models

The iPhone 5S is still a decent phone, but our current advice is to go for the iPhone SE if you can afford it. Although it doesn't have an upgraded screen compared to the iPhone SE, the huge leap in performance and camera quality makes it a much better - not to mention more future-proof - choice.

Apple's premiere smartphone is an all-around wonder.

One of the features that’s been lacking when it comes to teen phones (which arguably should be one of the most important) is security. Teens tend to lose things and since smartphones now contain a large part of someone’s life, ensuring a mobile device can be properly locked down is very important.

Inside the familiar metal casing beats a new processor, the Apple A7, making the iPhone 5s the first smartphone – and iOS 7 the first smartphone platform –...

Having used the phone for a few months now I have to admit that buying the iPhone 5S was a gamble at first (after all it is expensive), but one that I am glad to have done. There are a few niggles that still grate me such as the battery life which could be better, but in some ways considering it has...
