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 introduces Touch ID and beefs up the internal specs of the iPhone, but the fundamental design of its predecessor is retained. The 5s is one of the best performing handsets on the market, but is not the best value.

Touch ID works; Smooth performance; iOS 7; Great camera

Fragile chassis; 4in feels cramped at times; Expensive

While the iPhone 7 recently came out dropping the prices down on the iPhone 6 and 5, this phone would be a top pick for me. Decent front and back camera. Good battery life when it comes to modern touch screen phones, and very comfortable.

Good Battery Life; Decent camera; Overall Good Feel

Durability

It is still the phone to beat, and it is still pocketable, surely a slightly bigger screen would be very much welcomed. Oh... and a better battery either...

Build quality; iOS 7 works and looks great

a slightly bigger screen 4.3"/4.5" would win a lot of new customers to the iPhone

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.

People will criticize that the new iPhone 5S is not as innovative as it should be, but still we will recommend you to purchase. The best thing about the new phone is that it is upgraded and comes with a lot of applications which are missing in the previous version.

Powerful Core; Excellent Camera; Screen touch ID is amazing

Battery suspect; No screen touch change; Expensive

It's expensive and one gets a feeling that iPhone 6 might be the way to look forward if you already have an iPhone 5, but for non-iPhone users, this is the one.

Display; A7 chipset; camera with dual-LED flash; finger scanner

Price; same design

By smartphone standards the iPhone 5S is outright ancient. The price, combined with its smaller 4.7in screen and form factor mean the iPhone 5S remains, on paper, a fairly compelling choice for Apple fans on a budget and has stood the test of time surprisingly well.

Apple iphone 5S: Presenting Mobile Phone Excellence Pros:-The touch ID fingerprint identity sensor of the iPhone enables user to unlock the phone by placing a finger on the Home button; or to approve iTunes and App Store purchases.

I pull my iPhone out of my pocket, tap the home button, and let my thumb linger an extra second longer than I normally would have. The lock screen fades away and the iOS 7 home screen zooms into view, each icon landing neatly on the display.

Blazing fast A7 processor; Call quality is excellent, especially using FaceTime Audio; Touch ID feels like the future, and works flawlessly; Vastly improved camera, particularly the slo-mo feature, is enough to warrant an upgrade

Apple and iOS developers have yet to dream up truly innovative features; Still waiting for Siri to reach her full potential
