    I'm enjoying my new iPhone 5s. It has all the fun and useful features of the previous iPhone models, with some additional features such as the touch/finger print pass code. I also love the new slimmer sleeker design. It fits easier into cases or even my pocket if need be.

    I needed to up grade and I feel the price was right. Could have used a little help/still can on the id register. I've gone on line and have yet not to get cut off or be told I need an ID even after I've filled out the stuff. When I first went to apple -I happen to favorite the manual. Now when I've gone back it says my computer in not compatible with the setup.

    As an Apple fan, I may be biased, but their current flagship phone is everything I wanted and needed in a smart phone. I traded my iPhone 4S for the 5S, and it was worth the upgrade! The processor is way quicker, LTE service is great, and I love the touch ID system.

    Since upgrading from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 5s I haven't noticed much of a difference except in the camera features. I take a lot of pictures mainly from my phone so the extra options for the camera it self and photo editing make this phone worth every penny.

    The iPhone 5s looks like last year's iPhone 5 and even works with most all of those accessories. However, the improved internal processor, Touch ID implementation, and improvements to the camera make it a device to consider even if you already have an iPhone 5.

    The phone is lighter, thinner and larger than the 4S. The new iOS is excellent and easy to use. My only con is the home button sometimes sticks. On our other 5S phone the home button is very smooth.

    This is my third iPhone and I love the updates the 5s offers. The camera has several new features which is great since I take lots of photos. And I love the option of just using my fingerprint to make purchases on iTunes instead of typing in my password.

    I love the idea of the touch ID but for some reason I can't get it to work all the time. Actually it only work about 25% of the time I try to use it. Other than that the picture quality it good and I really like how you can organize the photos now. Make it much easier to locate one after you have taken a lot. All in all it is a good phone!

    This is an excellent device and I feel that it is one of the best phones on the market. This is my second iOS device and prior to that, I was on the Android platform since the HTC Hero. What I like about this phone is the size, stability of the OS, the quality apps and the excellent service and support from Apple. While it does not have the larger screen of the competition, the 4 inch display is pristine. I actually like that this phone fits comfortably in your hand and pocket. As for the OS, I am sold on the stability and consistent performance from Apple. While I do miss my widgets, I am sold on having a near-flawless OS that works. For myself, I need a device that works all the time and I have found that with iOS. Honestly, I really do not have time to tweak and play. I need my phone to work when I need it. Additionally, I feel that the applications outclass those on other platforms. iOS applications are consistent and are built well. Call quality is amazing, including the speaker phone. The touch ID is awesome. This is more than a simple upgrade. I found it to be one of my favorite additions to the iPhone family. It works well and make life easier. The camera is the best in the business. I have taken several photos, both in normal and low light settings. Bare none, this is the best camera for a smartphone. I would say that the Nokia 1020 is nice, but the phone is a brick. Siri works well, but still not as good as Google Now. The speed of this phone proves that Apple still has game. Its benchmarks show that it is the fastest phone out. While I love the keyboard, I miss the swipe capabilities of Android. Aside from that, the iOS keyboard is the best. The battery life is great. I get a full, power-users, day from this phone. Lastly, Apple has support that none of the competition can touch. If you purchase the iPhone from the Apple Store, you have a 30 day return policy. If you have issues with the phone, Apple’s support is the absolute best in the business. While Samsung, Nokia, HTC and LG have nice specs and whiz-bang…if you run into issues, you will find that support is near nonexistent. In short, while the competition has larger screens and more customization features, I would say that the iPhone 5s is the best phone on the market. Its size is perfect and elegant. The build quality is a standard for the industry. When you look at the whole package, Apple is the clear winner. Apple’s support and warranty service set them apart from the flashiness of the competition. The iPhone 5s will not disappoint.

    Overall, this phone is really good for simple use. It does not have the best battery life for heavy users. Picture quality is really nice! Interface is beautiful with easy to use functions that not many other Phones have! Definitely a good buy though.

    I was eligible for an upgrade & wanted this phone, just didn't have the money for it. Best Buy had a deal where I could trade in a working phone and get the new 5s for $1! I love the phone and would have ended up eventually getting it regardless.

    The iphone is the best phone on the planet. As long as your find with their ecosystem (iTunes, etc.), then there is no other phone to own. The phone itself as great features and is very user friendly. External memory would be nice! C'mon Apple!!
