    Got the phone to replace my broken old phone. It does what I want it to do, and is easy to use.

    I received an iPad Mini for my birthday and it was my first iOS device. I used Android for my phone but I completely fell in love with the UI of iOS. The more I used it the more I loved it. Because of my great experience with the Mini I bought the 5S and couldn't be happier. Best phone I ever owned. Trust me people, once you use iOS for about two weeks or when you get accustomed to it, you won't look back once at Android.

    I purchased this phone in the gold color for my son's birthday. At firdt I thought the gold color was going to be to flashy, but it turned out to be a classy muted gold color. My son lives the phone, and as previous long time Samsung users is happy to have made the switch because he says that now he doesnt have to carry his ipad and phone with him anymore, that apparently the iphone serves his musical needs as well,

    I just upgraded before taking my yearly vacation to my childhood home. I usually have terrible reception in this area. The area was perfect for texting and occasional calls. There have been no added towers to this area--it was simply the phone,. This year the reception in this area was great! The improvements in the 5S are awesome!

    This is my second iphone and I just really like it, to me it's the perfect phone. I had the 4s and upgraded to the 5s, I don't see a huge difference between the two, the main plus is the camera, the front facing camera is now, quality wise, just as good as the regular camera, which to me, is much needed improvement. Great cameras, smooth and great looking interface, easy to use with all the features you need
