My friends, who are android fiends, ask me why I stand by my IPhone as my weapon of choice in the information war.
My answer?
It works. Every time. Every app.
Ultimate adamantine reliability.
The IPhone 5s is incredibly fast, perfectly intuitive and impeccably manufactured. While there are Android devices that mimic the IPhone in form and function, it is merely imitation.

Had this iPhone on sale for a buck and it was perfect for my parents who needed to switch to a better carrier and each have smartphones. Easy to use, and you can't beat the price.

Upgraded from a 4S and it is a dramatic difference! LTE speed on AT&T is faster than my wi-fi at home! The dual LED flash and higher resolution camera is very noticeable as well. As for battery life, it really depends on which apps you are using; the heavier users (like me) will definitely need to charge daily. My wife charges hers every other night.

This phone replaced an old iPhone 3GS. The 3 GS was a workhorse of a device. So far this 5S model extends that kind performance with even greater ease of use. The power of a new OS (iOS 7) features and desktop processing architecture (64 bit) in a mobile device. That gives exceptional functionality with the latest high end applications. Every thing nice that the 3GS could deliver, is done with much more precision and eye appeal in the 5S. The touch sensor ID is amazing and very easy. I set it up for multiple finger prints - so it is easy to work log in with one hand (either hand) as well as - the fingers to be used if you are logging in with two hand - use of the phone. For versatility you could add a fingerprint from someone else in your household - as the sensor can save 10 fingerprint ID's. The camera functionality and its abilities are in class by itself. It sets a new standard not based on pixel count, but on functionality. Everything about the user experience (even for non-tech oriented individuals) feels easy and seamless. The phone stays synched to my apple laptop - wirelessly when the two devices are in range. These kinds of additional benefits from having multiple apple products that work so well together is a "value added" feature which not all customers buying this phone can benefit from. Last year, I dumped my Windows based PC's / Laptop. I have found that the Apple Powerbook - Retina 13 inch - Exceeds the performance and user experience of the high end Intel i7 processor based Desktop. There is magic in the ease of use and higher level of experience in the Apple products. This iPhone 5S stands tall in features and function. I was recently in a location - where these phones can only be purchased at full price (no plan discount's more that 2 or 3% were offered). I watched purchase demand exceed stock levels for months - with selling prices > $750. Purchasing one - with the value price in Best Buy's Deal & Carrier power & coverage of AT&T's LTE network is truly icing on the cake. I give this product my highest recommendation !!!

The iPhone 5s was a slight improvement in my mind over the iPhone 5. Much faster processor and better camera. However, I experienced major issues with call quality and issues with the microphone not working well. Fingerprint reader was finicky and a hassle to use. Ultimately decide to purchase the HTC One after returning the iPhone 5s, I am happy with my decision. Four the past four years I have used I phones but the 5s finally convinced me to broaden my horizon. Nevertheless, I hope the 6 is a dramatic improvement over the 5s.

I had 3gs phone, therefore this is a big change. So much faster. works better as a phone in my location which has poorer service than average. The camera, graphics, and internet work so much better than my previous phone. The buying process from BB was easy and they transferred my contacts and pictures without a complaint and as quickly as if I had purchased from ATT. Bought it at a discount which made it all the better and is really why I pulled the trigger to upgrade.

got the opportunity to upgrade 4s to 5s, so why not but disappointed about the new iOS and UI - not very practical and friendly. Calendar use - not as efficient when entering tasks. The change of power jack outlet - for what reason? 'Dancing' icons - annoying and not good for eyes. finger print function - not always work right away, am about to re-set up and play with it again. Liking the new phone slim and light however. Now wondering what iPhone 6 will be like....

I love that there is a fingerprint sensor that I can use but also the security code is still there to use. The screen size is better and bigger than the 4s but could be bigger. Great screen resolution and sharp picture taking capabilities.

Previously had the iphone 4 and needed an upgrade. I would recommend the 5s over the 5c, which I also looked at. Thin, light weight and fast, great photo quality. I'd say that's probably the biggest pro for me, the video and picture quality. It feels fragile, like all phones.. haven't dropped it yet, but a case will add significant bulk. I got the screen protector from best buy that comes with a lifetime warranty and so far I'm really happy with that too, no bubbles and no need to replace it constantly.

I had the iPhone 4 for over 3 years & was very happy with it. But it was time for something new. The iPhone 5s is way faster & the finger print scanner is awesome. I'm so glad I finally upgraded. My phone is used all day long for multiple things, so the battery doesn't make it thru the whole day. But it does charge back up really quick. So, over all I'm very happy with this phone.

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.
