    A nice update from the iPhone 4. Has a slightly better camera with better flash and has slow motion video which is pretty cool for kids and sports. 4G is a nice addition as we'll to match all the newer androids out there. Battery life could be a little bit improved compared to today's standard bit can last me the day with light to moderate use.

    Very nice phone. I had the iPhone 4 and finally decided to upgrade to the 5S and was glad I did. The camera pictures are a lot nicer and clear.

    This phone is much better than the 4s.......the photos and the internet is faster. The slow motion camera I use more than I thought I would.

    Battery is decent. Cannot figure out settings and how data usage works. Picture is good. I'm getting used to the keyboard but I liked my flip out keypad. I'm a tech novice and I will have trouble using the phone/device to its fullest potential without a lot of help.

    The quality of the pictures/movies is perfect for taking those in the moment memories. Has dropped a few calls, but maybe location I was in at the time, but time will tell on this.

    Easy to use with smaller hands. Build quality is a step up from 5 since the paint would chip on the black/slate model.

    I highly recommend this phone. It is Apple's best iPhone to date! I think that the screen size is just right, compared to some other phones (Samsung) that are borderline tablets!

    I was with Sprint for 10 years and finally got tired of waiting for their "promised" 4 G. And went from iPhone 4s to 5s it's great.

    I traded in my 4 S for the 5 S - love the phone. It is slightly bigger, but I love everything else about it. I especially like the finger id so no one else can use my phone

    Great phone and features. 64 bit architecture opens up the ability to do much more with the phone. Slow motion video is a nice perk to have but is not a must. Battery life seems to be the same as iPhone 5 after iOS 7 upgrade, to me it didn't improve tremendously like apple claimed. Fingerprint sensor is a step towards a more secure device, at least is better than no pass code at all. Overall great phone if you are looking to upgrade your iPhone 4 or 4s but not worth spending full retail price.

    The iPhone 5S is fast and reliable and seems to be what most people want to but. Paired with Verizon, the calling coverage area is virtually everywhere. I have been very satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend a case - I chose Otter Box.
