The iPhone 5 design is still sturdy and attractive, and "space gray" should hold up better to scuffs than last year's black model, Excellent performance, Good camera with improved low-light performance, though in low light especially some Lumia phones can
The fingerprint sensor is imperfect as a standalone authentication tool, and Apple doesn't (yet?) support two-factor authentication, Dual-band 802.11n and 100Mbps LTE aren't bad at all in the here-and-now, but they might be feeling a little dated by the t
Abstract: As we continue to work on our review of Apple's new flagship iPhone 5s , a few reviews published by other sites have caught our attention. In one such review, Anandtech showed us that specs on paper are just a small part of the story, since Apple's new iP...
Truly elegant / light design, High-speed LTE radios, Double the performance vs. iPhone 5, Strong graphics performance, Refined UI with iOS 7, Beautiful display
Lingering issues with Apple Maps, No NFC, No larger screen option
We said this last year with the iPhone 5, but we'll say it again this year; the latest iPhone (the 5s, in this case) is indeed the best iPhone yet. While it looks the same on the outside, Apple's internal upgrades have delivered a phone that's blisteringl...

Abstract: For the first time since the original iPhone was replaced by the iPhone 3G , we have a new iPhone (or in this case, a pair of new iPhones) taking the place of the previous generation rather than just acting as an upgrade. So, because of this unique circum...
Excellent design inside and out. Near-perfect marriage of hardware and software. Best fingerprint security integration on a consumer-electronics device to date
Battery life not quite as good as expected, but certainly on par with competitors, Bottom Line: Apple fans will love the iPhone 5S, Image: Mashable, BONUS: iOS 7 Apps: Download These Now, iOS 7 Apps You Should Download Now, Kindle, Amazon's Kindle app now
The iPhone 5S is, without a doubt, the best phone Apple has ever made. It's the top choice for anyone who wants a smaller phone with a high-resolution screen, formidable power and an unmatched mobile operating system. Still, Apple has no answer for those...
Updated iOS7 experience, Excellent lowlighting photo performance, New way of unlocking and app purchasing via Touch ID fingerprint sensor, Slow motion HD video capture
Battery life is no different
Crazy to believe it, but this phone has been seeing competition long before its arrival on the scene. Heck, you can argue that everyone was trying to one-up the iPhone 5s way before the first round of juicy rumors came up to the surface, but now that i...

We can see the iPhone 5s from two opposing points of view. On one hand, you could easily argue that it's the best overall smartphone out there. It's constructed like a piece of jewelry, it might be the fastest phone in stores right now, and the fingerprin...
The iPhone 5s is a worthy successor to last year's device, though it is by no means perfect. Apple was a bit lazy in recycling the iPhone 5's design, but at least the company changed up the colors and added the Touch ID sensor to set it apart. The quality...
