    I would recommend this phone for anyone, even beginners. It is worth spending a little bit more for the upgrade and extra functions available. The user will need to navigate through the different options to maximize each function. You do need to keep track of the battery as it does not last as long as the smaller phones. I recommend purchasing a car charger to ensure you can keep the phone charged when you need.

    Replacement for a lost phone

    I've had iPhones for some time, and they're great. I also have Apple computers and all the devices that sync with them. My 5 was lost a year into it's life, so the replacement cost $750. I had insurance for every disaster. Except that one.

    I was a late convert to the Apple Universe and actually had an iPad 2 before I had a iphone 4. The 5S truly was an upgrade. I haven't had a single issue with the phone. I plan to keep it til it simply wears out like my 4 did.

    The Apple IPhone 5S has all the outstanding features that we have come to expect from this company. The trade in value was excellent and I opted for another Apple Iphone.

    Great phone for my wife and I so far. We are learning new features everyday. It helps to have friends with the iPhone to help us navigate through everything. Very happy with this phone, especially Face time with our Grandkids!

    I had switched to another type of phone, then had to come right back to the iPhone! This is very easy to use, no problems what so ever. I have had this phone for over a month now. Very happy with purchase!! Great phone!!

    I got 100 for my old iphone 4 and then got 75 back 10 days later when there was a promo going for the 5s at $125... so i ended up paying only $25 for the whole purchase

    Great phone and bestbuy was a much better experience than going to a verizon store. My only complaint would be that the service although being friendly was really slow.

    This is my second iPhone. My previous phone was an iPhone 4, and it served me really well for what I needed it to do, so I decided to get the 5S as well. It's perfect for moderate users such as myself, since I only use the phone for light internet browsing, watching YouTube videos, and reading the news.

    This phone us by far one of the best phones I've ever owned. It doesn't feel bulky or awkward when using it. I'm able to use it easily with one hand. My thumb can navigate all the features without causing any fatigue.

    Funtionality of phone meets my needs. Use primarily for phone access, calendar and limited text. Do use internet to search for restaurants, accommodations when traveling. This verision of iPhone is a little more compact than previous model I owned. Fits in pocket better and not as bulky to hold. Also note user is 91 and likes Apple products because of streamlined capability

    I wish I would have gotten the Samsung Galaxy S5. I have compared it to the S5 and the S5 is much nicer.
