Apple - iPhone 5s 32GB Cell Phone - Silver (Verizon Wireless)

I've had my iPhone 5s (32 GB/Verizon) for a little over a month. I switched from an Android phone, which I had for three years. I really like my iPhone. It is small, lightweight, sleek, fast, and has a great camera. It boots up very quickly. The camera is outstanding. The battery is pretty decent. I like Apple's included headphones and the many tasks they perform: control volume, use to make calls, make voice commands. The new iOS is pretty slick also. One of my favorite features is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It makes unlocking the phone very quick and easy, instead of always entering a passcode. Very cool. One of my only complaints is the call quality, specifically the microphone. Several people have mentioned it sounded like I was "talking into my arm" and I sounded far away. Through trial and error I figured out the trick was that I have to hold the phone in exactly the right position next to my face. Any distance farther away and the person on the other end had trouble hearing me. Now that I know what to do, I haven't received any complaints. Also I use the headphones or a Bluetooth fairly often. Overall, this is an excellent phone. I highly recommend it. After using Android for years, it's a breath of fresh air.

I have multiple Apple products and was looking forward to the upgrade. The 5s - 32G was a necessary upgrade for me because I was always battling to free up storage on my 4 - 16G. The 4 had also become frustratingly slow. The Good - So far I am very happy with the performance of the 5s. The phone responds quickly. I have really come to like the iOS7 upgrade. My favorite part of the phone upgrade is by far the camera. I have a small very active child and really love the burst mode to help capture good pics. Another cool thing is that Apple included its version of office apps with the new purchase. The Bad - The battery life is not so good. It struggles to make it through a full day on one charge. I have turned off all the recommended items to supposedly help extend the battery life. I would hate to see what it would be if I left all those settings in place. The phone also resets itself when I am on it at least twice a week. The last item I thought was going to be very cool was the touch ID. However, if you work with your hand allot and your finger tips always have cracks, cuts or scratches then the touch ID will not work very well. Overall the iPhone is just a better built phone then all the other plastic smartphones out there.

Upgraded from the 4S to the 5S and love the faster processor; better camera; lighter weight although it is longer than the 4S. Bigger screen and went from 3 g to LTE. Am very happy with upgrade from 16 g to 32g also.

First time iphone user, always like the quality of the device but could never get passed the screen size finally decide to give it a shot. Got my phone by luck three days after it came out at bestbuy, the phone as I expected is a great device. Will I recommended for everyone "no". Depends on your needs and wants, what I will say is the camera being Sony image sensor and lenses is amazingly fast great reproduction of colors and if you hold it the pictures won't stop until you lift you finger. My reception has not been that great don't understand why thought Verizon had better reception. The only thing getting to me in the end is the screen size but I've learned to deal with it, battery life isn't great if your a hard user but then again when in sleep it actually retains battery life very well. Finally leaving Samsung wasn't easy for me, I like the galaxy line up and with the note 3 out I felt stupid for not jumping on that, but in the end I'm happy with my decision due to the fact that the A7 chip is made by Samsung. Plus my wife got the Note 3, so we have the best of both worlds. My extreme thoughts in the end wouldn't it be crazy if they (Apple, Sony, & Samsung) got together an produce the baddest phone possible. Just a thought.

This is my 2nd iPhone. I upgraded from 4S to the new 5S. I love the larger screen, the lighter weight, LTE support, 64 bit CPU, 8MP camera and new flash, the look and feel, the quality, the ease of use, iCloud support, free iLife, free iWork, and Touch ID. "It just works!". I use the whole Apple eco-system, i.e., 27" iMac, iPad Air and iPhone 5S, Apple TV and iCloud. They all just work so well together. I was a Microsoft user from the beginning (MS DOS 1.0) and an Apple basher. Now I am a convert and will nerve go back. With free iOS, OS X, iWork, iLife and iCloud upgrades, there just isn't anything equal to the ease of use, functionality, and quality.

Very happy with upgrade, more memory and Suri. Camera easy to use. Phone is compact even with case. I now use this as my main camera. Easy to transfer pictures to facebook or to text messages. Love ability to surf internet while away from home. And I am still learning features!

Clearly if you are not interested in Apple products, there is no need to read this review. For those new to the world of smart phones or contemplating the upgrade from a 4S or below, I can highly recommend this phone. The first thing I can recommend is for the speed alone. The wifi signal in our bedroom was always better on my wife's iPhone 5 than my old 4S so I was ready for the switch. I also wanted to go to a larger storage size (I would have gotten the 64GB if they had it on launch). I was impressed by Apple's presentation of the phone but the camera has to be seen to be believed. The pictures are incredibly life-like when compared to my wife's iPhone 5 and for once I find myself wanting to use the flash on a phone. The dual LED flash allows for real photo reproduction of skin tones and the rapid shot mode allows to account for my 1 year old's constant movements. In addition to the greatly improved camera, the faster chip blows away even my ipad 4th gen in regular tasks, and the Touch ID sensor makes life a lot simpler especially when busy on the move. All around the internal improvements to the phone are considerable over the iPhone 5. In summary, I was on the fence with getting a discontinued iPhone 5, or the 5c but was swayed enough by early reviews and my patient waiting for the release to spend the extra money on the 5s iPhone and I am really happy that I did. I will be able to take incredible picture of my children for years to come which is what matters to me at the end of the day and along with that I get a great device with the bevy of apps and integration in the Apple ecosystem.

Overall I love this I phone 5s. I like the size and slim design. It is easy to use. Stores a lot of photos and videos. Connects easily to Bluetooth in my car. I also like the new way to view and save safari information
