The editors didn't like
If you want change Samsung is a good way to go
Still expensive
Screen tech remains the same
IPhone 5s has better storage options
More stylish
IOS better than Android
Lighter and thinner
Design practically unchanged from iPhone 5
No SD slot
You'll need a case for it
I'll start with a different refrain
The screen technology on offer here is what upsets us most. Those people who upgraded from the iPhone 4S back in 2013 would have been disappointed to find they were getting the same screen resolution
Albeit a bit stre
IPhone 6s 16GB model is a poor investment
IPhone 5s lacks newer features such as 3D Touch
Very expensive
Identical design to iPhone 5 might disappoint those looking to upgrade
No removable battery or expandable storage
Display remains same size and resolution
Expensive
Similar to previous iPhones
If you’ve got an iPhone 5
The 5s will throw few surprises your way. Very few. Too few
It’s identically sized
For one thing
So the screen remains as cramped as ever. While plenty of people prefer displays you can reach across with one finger or thumb
It would be nice for Apple to get with the program and offer a larger variant to take on the new breed of Android phablets. If you were hoping f
Fragile chassis
4in feels cramped at times
Touch ID is cool
But feature-limited
Still the same 4-inch display and overall design
Stunning design Similar appearance to iPhone 5
Great performance 4inch Retina display can seem small
Touch ID Fingerprint sensor No NFC support
Top camera No microSD support
IOS 7 has a great visual design and excellent features Expensive
Especially if you want larger capacity models
Picture can be bettered by some larger
Higher-res screens
The iOS 7 interface isn't as practical for partially sighted users
Speaker could be better quality
SlMo video files
Poor export quality
High SAR
0.979 W/kg (higher than the iPhone 5)
No microSD card slot
Screen still feels small
Screen res remains average
No NFC
ICloud still a mess
Day one and the 5S feels no different from iPhone 5
Optional cases grate with the 5S concept
A new styling would have been even better
Battery life same as before
Screen feels increasingly small
Lacks the liveliness of Android
Currently few ways to use the extra grunt
More expensive than the iPhone 5 was
Screen is small when compared to other highend phones
Near-identical design to iPhone 5
Aluminum shell prone to dings
Only 16GB of storage on $200 model (no MicroSD)
Notification system is terrible
Small display for a top
End smartphone
Many key software features available as free updates for previous models of iPhone

Fantastic camera, Touch ID is efficient and has great potential, 64-bit A7 chip and M7 chip lay important foundation, Multiple colors,
Not significantly faster than 5C, Not enough new features
The iPhone 5S is a great phone. It's fast, powerful, sleek, and packs in a number of compelling new features. If you're due for an upgrade from your phone company, this is the phone to get. If you're a photographer, I suspect that there's no other smartph...
