    Like the larger screen for viewing but makes the phone bulkier than I like. I like some of the newer features and the better camera. I got a 16 gigabyte version which is about the minimum you can use these days due to the memory demands of the operation system.

    I brought this phone for my mom for Christmas. It replaced her iPhone 4. She loves it and says it was the perfect upgrade for her and I got it as a deal of the day for only $1.

    This phone is very nice. It has great features including the fingerprint ID reader and available apps. I especially like the smaller size of the phone but am glad that the screen is slightly bigger. The ease of use makes this phone comfortable.

    I am really pleased with my new iPhone 5s 16g. I like the space gray color. I love the fact that it is lighter and the screen is larger. Battery life is really good too!

    First off the 64bit architecture is something that you cannot put a price on. the fingerprint addition is something that is already great and will only get better with time and technology. The new camera and flash adds very useful features not found previously on an iPhone. The phone also seems to handle the new iOS better than the previous iPhone 5 did. the only negatives are the case still scratches easier than anyone rugged would like and the battery life can go pretty quick under heavy usage, this however could be a network issue more than the phone itself.

    Volume for phone calls too low when in case. The screen size is good, not to big or to small. The phone in its case fits nicely into my work pants and shorts pockets. Battery life is much better than the 4s.

    For a new iPhone user, I say this is worth the price as it has all the necessary features I like and has great quality in sound, video and manipulation features. I did not enjoy paying extra for the protective covers and case, and encourage these items be included in the package deal. I would certainly consider upgrading to another iPhone in the future.

    I previously had a BB and loved it. Corporate policy changed and I was forced to change. I really like the way the iPhone works, but am still getting used to simple things like closing windows (you just closed them with a button on the BB or in the menu) and having to charge the phone all the time (I could go 2 days without charging my BB). I'm sure that in a couple more weeks, I will have learned not to do things the old way and will have adopted to iPhone strategy - just not as easy as everyone says (or intuitive). The picture and speed are incredible though - far better than my previous BB Torch.
