Abstract: The iPhone 5S by Apple received two thumbs up from a number of reviews. One of them spoke of the fingerprint sensor which worked so simply and efficiently. And it is not just a flashy feature but operates superbly as well. The device requires the slightes...
The iPhone 5s is quite possibly the biggest S-update we've ever seen from Apple. I remember walking out of the venue during Apple's iPhone 5 launch and being blown away by the level of innovation, at the platform/silicon level, that Apple crammed into the...

The iPhone 5S delivers an improved camera, a nifty fingerprint sensor, and a next-gen CPU and motion-tracking chip. Apple throws in the iWork app suite for free. iOS 7 adds some nice step-ups, too, including AirDrop file transfers and the Android-like Con
External design is identical to that of the iPhone 5, including a 4-inch screen that looks downright tiny next to Android competitors. For now, the fingerprint sensor only works with Apple apps. The 64-bit A7 processor and M7 motion-tracking chip don't ha
The iPhone 5S is not a required upgrade, but it's easily the fastest and most advanced Apple smartphone to date.

Abstract: Because we haven't yet had the chance to properly test the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, we're basing this article purely on specs. We'll update the review as we do more testing.This we can cover off easily. The price for the iPhone 5S is as follows: the 16GB ...
Abstract: Ahead of Apple's San Francisco iPhone unveiling there were murmurs that the firm wouldn't add much new to its next flagship smartphone, instead focusing most of its attention on the cheaper but still not very affordable iPhone 5C ....

Abstract: Well, well, well; look what we have here. It's the two phones that everybody loves to hate, the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III. Android lovers usually despise the iPhone 5 and iOS lovers usually despise the Galaxy S III. We've pitted them hea...
If you want to match the iPhone 5S spec for spec with other smartphones, then it's a difficult task – but it, misses the point of Apple's device, Below the surface Apple put together one of the most cutting-edge smartphones around in late 2013, imbued wit
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
The iPhone 5S was, predictably, the best iPhone ever from Apple, but what's intriguing is just how much I enjoyed using this evolutionary device.There's always a degree of apathy towards any kind of ‘S' device from Apple, as it's historically just the sam...
