    We just replaced 2 I Phone 4's with the I Phone 5S and noticed the lighter weight immediately. The photos are crisp and clean. My phone has now become my primary camera and will be great on trips!

    I got the 5S when my 4S started acting up (after the iOS upgrade). I like the size of this phone... As I can hold it in one hand. It's fast, and, the picture quality is great. There aren't that many differences in function vs the 4S. There still seem to be a few glitches ... But they may be carrier/network related. Sometimes, the phone just closes out of the screen I'm in, for no apparent reason. Or, it will get stuck on a page or screen. Otherwise, it's a great phone. As I already mentioned, very similar to the 4S. I have AT & T because the ability to multitask (be On a call, text, check email and surf the web, all at the same time) is something I'm not willing to sacrifice.

    Iphones are iphones. They havent changed much since inception. The camera is great and the list of apps is unrivaled, yet the durability is horrible. My daughter was sitting in the chair with her robe hanging about a foot off the floor with the iphone in her pocket in the kitchen. The phone slid out of her pocket and hit the kitchen floor and now the corner has a dent in it as if it was hit with a mallet. 4GB of the 16GB of storage is allocated to IOS7 and the rest fills up too quickly, with no way to expand it. The battery will last about 6-8 hours with moderate usage. Overall its ok.

    The best iPhone yet!

    I previously owned an iPhone 4, which I liked a lot. It was the best phone I had ever owned. The iPhone 5S is the best iPhone to date! Despite sceen size which Apple is getting pressure from Samsung for that. The phone is great starting with the thumb recognition button which by-passes typing a four digit code. With a swipe to the right, you can still access your phone. The A7 chip is faster than all it's predecessors, including the 5C. The weight of the 5S is lighter than the 4, mostly because of the no back glass. The new OS system is fantastic, it could be better. I would make recommendations for playing music, maybe having the control buttons on the sides instead of the top and bottom. Or perhaps, let the owner of the phone decide. If you've owned an iPhone, this phone will be familiar in a lot of ways, except for a few tweaks by Apple and the OS 7.

    I just upgraded to the 5s from the 4s. In addition to the larger screen the 5s is lightning fast. All functions are smooth and seemless. If you are thinking about upgrading to the 5s, I have 2 words for you: DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

    Perfect "Tech with the Times"

    Being "old school" thinking that "a phone is a phone", I have been reminded on a consistent basis how "necessary" and life-affirming the need for the latest and greatest is by my children. While I thought a cell phone is pretty basic with it's apps and gadgets, the IPhone has changed my way of thinking. The Apple cell has opened many doors to how this mom feels the communication world thinks. Beyond the basic attributes of a cell phone, the IPhone apps provided and the ability to better track and communicate with my children's activities and usage has exceeded my expectations. Great phone for everyday usage and function. While I am still personally faithful to my Samsung Galaxy, the Apple IPhone with its ability to link with other Apple products used, there is no turning back for this household.

    iphone. name says it all

    -Better native keyboard – more precise and predictive. More natural feel when typing. The auto correct is great on the 5s. -Siri – Smoother and better voice accuracy. More natural and intuitive. I provide commands (“remind me about the 8am dentist appointment on December 31th”) and Siri understands. If I issued the same command on the Galaxy S4, the voice recognition would be confused and misinterpret. -The overall Volume of speaker is louder on the 5s than on the Galaxy S4. I can hear the ringer from other rooms. -In my car and using the speakerphone on the 5s, others tell me the sound quality is night and day compared to the Galaxy S4 (Verizon). When I had my S4 (two different ones), they said I sounded garbled or as if I was talking through a tin can. -I have yet to experience an application crash on the 5s -The Camera is quick to snap shots and pictures are sharp -Availability of iMessage and Facetime. Makes communicating with other Apple users simple. I can see when they are typing a reply back to me, and I can even Facetime in the car or from anywhere without having to download an configure a 3rd party app such as Skype, and then hope the person on the other end had done the same (I have family who are not technology savvy, but easily use Facetime). -The iOS7 operating system is overall more refined and user friendly (i.e. – you can hold down and click X to delete an application on the iPhone rather than get confused trying to find the Settings/Application submenus on the Android/S4) -In my area, better overall signal quality / antenna strength. No dropped calls in the same spots I used my S4.

    Upgrading from older Palm phone and am amazed how thin, fast and clear the display on the iPhone 5s is. Purchased a tutorial book and am learning more of the new features every day. Have purchased many accessories at Best Buy and have been very pleased with service.

    This phone has great appeal, fits in the hand nicely, screen is so clear , takes very nice clean pics, love the Apple layout with the apps and the ease of use. My music sounds great on the phone! I love pretty much every thing you can do on here. This phone is almost self explanatory. Love the Siri feature too, as it can dictate faster than i can type.

    iPhones are obviously great phone. This one is just as great and fast. When I use the phone a lot the battery life doesn't last that long but when I pace myself I can use it for the whole day. Camera is great and with the new A7 chip the phone is really fast. Not that it's a big deal but I love the finger print sensor. It's really convenient

    I recently upgrade from the 4s to the 5s as a Christmas present. I love how fast the new processor works and how well the camera works. Without a case the phone feels as if it could scratch or be damage easily so a case and screen protector are a must have. Battery life has been okay, not stellar, but overall very pleased with it.

    I've had old flip or slide phones for my whole cell-phone-owning life, and they've been fine, but figured it was time for an upgrade to a smartphone. The newest, most popular phones seemed way too big. This phone has all the functionality I need, can fit in my pocket, and was a lot cheaper than the newer models.

    Best iPhone to date - packed with great features

    iPhone fans have a great, feature packed phone to get excited about. It really is the best one yet. I upgraded from an iPhone 4, so the difference in performance is very noticeable. The camera is much better and the finger scanner is unbelievably convenient. If you're not an iPhone enthusiast, you'll probably say there's not much new and the screen should be the size of a flat screen TV instead of pocket sized. I've always felt that comfort in hand and pocket means a phone screen should only be so large. If you've never had a smartphone or haven't upgraded in a while, you'll be blown away. If not, there's still a lot of great features to consider, but it's mostly evolutionary, not revolutionary.
