The basics The Apple iPhone 5s is here at last, ready to stake its claim once again as the greatest smartphone on the planet. Things are a little different this year though - and it's not just because there are bigger and better Android blowers out there.

The iPhone 5s is a beautiful device - but you already knew this; It always has been, and this year's flagship model is no different; In fact, it's almost identical to the iPhone 5: it's compact, light and polished, and the four-inch Retina Display is vivid and dangerously sharp.

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...

Apple is back with a bang. After the great success of the recent Apple iPad mini, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5, Apple is ready to hit the screens with their new Apple iPhone 5s. As per the recent buzz it is definte that the iPhone 5s will reach our hands by this September.

There are no two ways about it - the iPhone 5 is perhaps the best phone around for those who are looking for the perfect balance of style and substance. It looks gorgeous and thanks to iOS's app treasury lets you do just about everything from playing high end games to editing high definition video...

Aside from some 4G limitations, the iPhone 5 remains a great phone, and a better one than the 5C that replaced it

Bought his for my daughter she is very happy with it , Restored very well looks like new and works great Only reason for a 4 star is the fact that it was still very Very expensive for what it is, and there are as good products out there if you are not totally in love with Iphones I would not...

Editors' note (September 19, 2014): The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now the flagship phones in Apple's 2014-2015 product line. The 2012 iPhone 5 reviewed here is no longer sold, but the 2013 iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C remain on sale at reduced prices. The 5C is basically the iPhone 5 in a plastic body, but -- as of September 2014 -- is now only sold in an 8GB capacity.

The iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe.

The iPhone 5 adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, free turn-by-turn navigation, and a faster A6 processor; Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim, and feather-light.

Apple Maps feels unfinished and buggy; Sprint and Verizon models can't use voice and data simultaneously. The smaller connector renders current accessories unusable without an adapter. There's no NFC, and the screen size pales in comparison to jumbo Android models.

This was my first time getting a phone so I went with the newest and latest iphone 5s gold. I actually really liked it in the beginning and I still do. I loveeeeee all the features it includes as well as siri. So much better than a blackberry but lower than Samsung.

Great design, functionality and speed

Easy To Set Up; Easy to Use; Efficient; Great looking; Quality Construction; Reliable

very good

With Apple discontinuing the iPhone 5 following the launch of the iPhone 5C, we envision a sea of confused owners of Apple's last generation iPhone wondering whether it's worth upgrading to the repackaged iPhone 5C, which swaps out the high-end metal casing of the iPhone 5 for a colourful, plastic...
