Apple iPhone 5s review Comments

So true... "As long as the cash keeps pouring in, Apple can go on and play its own game and make its own rules."
It is you die-hard fans that make Apple to be complacent, snobbish & lack of features but still selling at a premium pricing!

What happened to Quad core Androids? Dual Core IPhones beat the hell out of them in. Bench Marks!
They are now readying for 64 Bit Octa Core Droids Flagship!
But wait iPhone 6 with Quad Core 64 Bit..., again, it will beat those Octa Cores!
Peace Man... Upgrading now my 4S to 5S!

AnonD-36554, 28 Sep 2013Can anyone explain me how can a dual core 1.3 ghz come on top against the likes of snapdragon ... moreBecause Android has a lot of things going on in the background compared to Apple which runs pretty much only the apps on screen. A good analogy would be you racing with Usain Bolt whilst he is brushing his teeth with one hand and flipping up a french toast with the other. Maybe you can keep up with Bolt but are you actually faster? If you want to bench equally then you'll have to load a light rom with no background process and then run the benchmark. Only then will Apple be smoked.

yes,dual core 1.3 is faster than android quad core.
but for the least amount of money,i can get more,won't that be great?
700 bucks get a dual core 1.3 with 1560 mah in 2013 doesn't really cut it (i can get more than that with least amount of money)

MisterCats, 28 Sep 2013Have you not heard of ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)? It's been out forever.Yes, because converting your music every time you wan't to copy it to your phone is really convenient. I mentioned FLAC because it is way more used than ALAC, and all downloadable music I can find is either mp3 (terribad) or FLAC. You won't find ALAC, WMA, WAV, m4p, etc. easily and converting some 30GB of music to put on your phone is PITA. They could've added FLAC support for free because it is FREE SOFTWARE. And nobody should be using mp3 anymore. 2004. has passed so lets leave relics of the past to the past.

Well Apple continues to provide a very average product yet the sheep still come. This phone is a top 10 at best and is lacking in many ways. Apple is stuck in the past. Have fun with your neon colored and "touch id", which was hackex in less than 48 hours!

I really wished GSM review pointed that Atrix was the first to have finger print scan .. so the novelty isnt Apple's :)

In 2011 I bought iPhone 4s for me & samsung S2 for wife. Whereas S2 only survived its short life somehow my 4s still works perfectly even on the latest iOS 7. So spending a bit more on a quality product makes more sense than to waste it on some crap phone.
iPhone 5S I believe is still the best one can have as it is really easy to live with unlike some gigantic 5" phone which you can't even use single handedly & all mini droids out there are really mini in performance.

AnonD-36554, 28 Sep 2013Can anyone explain me how can a dual core 1.3 ghz come on top against the likes of snapdragon ... moreIt's because of the arm v-8 instruction set of the cpu. It is also backed by a simple and optimized web browser safari
Plus, it is using power vr rouge series 6 gpu.

And while you can sync any mp3 through your iTunes, lossless audio formats (mainly FLAC) can't be played on any iDevice while most android phones play it out of the box.

AnonD-183586, 27 Sep 2013Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia z1, are much more better than iPhone 5s ...Rubbish,best smartfone is one that suites your needs not the one driven by spec which is what most uneducated people go for.

dual core krait androids performed similar to Quad core A7's
just take a look at nexus 10 it has dual core but proper cortex a15. it performs way better than anroid a7 quadcores but lesser than s800
a7 processor is made up of custom cores and performance is similar to cortex a15 dual.
