    The iPhone 5s has surpassed my expectations so far. I like it a lot better than my wife's galaxy S4. Got a great deal at BB ($100) with contract renewal with Sprint.

    Upgrade from earlier IPhone. Didn't think it could get much better but the new I5S managed to do it. The video and picture quality is outstanding. Lightning speed on connections. Highly recommend to anyone who uses their phone as an office like I do.

    After I sadly broke my iPhone 4 it was time to upgrade. This phone is crazy fast and rarely crashes. I think it's only crashed twice since I bought it. Hallelu.

    I recently upgraded to this Iphone. I love it it's super fast and battery life is really good. I use the phone at least 9 hours a day non stop for 5 days a weeks. I have always have something running on it weather is music videos or email for business. I can handle everything I need for all kinds if purposes of my life. Easy to use I tell friends and family to get this Iphone. You will love this Iphone just like I do, I wish I would have got the Iphone sooner.

    The 5S is, without a doubt, the nicest piece of mobile hardware I've ever owned. The device is built from excellent materials and feels excellent to hold. It's so light, but still remains substantial feeling. The camera takes great shots all around, and the burst mode and slow-mo features are just great.

    This is not too big a departure for experienced iPhone users, but the Touch ID, faster processor, and LTE are all excellent. The camera is still in need of some tweaking, but it is probably the best iPhone camera yet. It feels like a refined version of the previous iPhone models, as if they've finally perfected it, but it may be time for a reinvention for the next model...
